The Price of Pleasure

Grant Sutherland has been on a quest to find the granddaughter of a British Earl lost at sea eight years before. However, the finding of her was only half the battle and now Grant must not only bring the incredibly frustrating Tori home to England, he must fight against his own growing feelings toward the woman he is only supposed to protect.

I very much enjoyed this second story of the Sutherland brothers. Tori was a wonderful no holds barred heroine and it was impossible not to feel a little sorry for Grant as he struggled against feelings he had no previous experience with. My only complaint is that a third story about cousin Ian was obviously set up but after three years and the popularity of Ms. Cole's paranormal romances, I'm show more doubtful if we will ever get the final story. Even with that the story of Grant and Tori was well wrapped up and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Price of Pleasure to lovers of historical and nautical romances. show less

3.75 Stars

A good romance story. But quite a few editing problems.

Grant and Victoria where a fun read.
However, it seemed like Kresley Cole was trying to put to many character wrap ups in one book. It becomes apparent that she wanted to finish off this series.
Considering the series she is writing now, I understand it completely.

If you haven't read her Immortal's After Dark or Game Maker series, You are SERIOUSLY missing out on some of the most amazing stories I have ever read.
She has become a true Master in the Art of Writing.

I was not a big fan of the hero, Grant, and that made this book much less enjoyable for me. However, loved the heroine, and Kresley Cole is a very engaging writer. Plus, every time I looked at the cover I had fun saying "the price of Pleas-ahhh" to myself and giggling.

Not sure how this series will go but as far as historical romance went, this is quite okay. Thankfully, Kresley did wonders in Paranormal Romance than Historical Romance. Review later.
