Sexy and Laugh Out Loud Funny

I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book and read it...I was not disappointed. For her debut book --- Delilah had me in stitches; I never laughed so hard in all my life when reading some of the scenes. The sexual tension between Edmund and Maybelle was so well written you could just feel it. The sex scenes were well written. Edmund's mother the Duchess was so down to earth and ruled her son with a firm but loving hand....I loved the way Edmund listen to his mother. Maybelle's grandmere was a woman before her time. Get comfy on your couch or favorite reading chair and kick back and enjoy a light-hearted funny read. I can't wait to read Hawksford story next. I'm looking forward to reading more books by her.

HOT, HOT, HOT!!! Sinfully delicious!

It is only on occasion that I read a book in its entirety, but I read MISTRESS OF PLEASURE in one sitting. This book offeres a unique premise where the head-mistress of the School of Gallantry teaches men the art of seduction. I was surprised by how emotionally connected I became to Edmund and Maybelle as well as the other characters in the story. This was a fun, witty read, laced with tons of sexual tension and wicked play.

Pure Pleasure!

I read this book R E A L L Y SLOW! I simply didn't want it to end. It sounds corny but the book was pure pleasure. It wasn't the same old romance book-it dared to be funny, sensual and warm without sacrificing the plot or content of the book. I fell in love with the main characters but the others were so appealing that I wanted their stories to be told immediately. I wanted to be a part of that classroom SO BADLY! This book sizzles. And you laugh (out loud) and you sigh (out loud) too. These characters are appealing. The sex (OH YEAH)- cigarette please. such a refreshingly sensual read. Kudos to Delilah Marvelle. I can't wait to get my hands on her other students, ahem books! This is one author I will be haunting the bookstores for.

Funny and sexy, with real characters

I saw Delilah read from her new book in Port Townsend this weekend, and I read "Mistress of Pleasure" in 3 sittings! The characters' motivations and psyches are quite real, the pace is streamlined, and the romantic tension begins almost at once--and keeps building from there. There are laugh-out-loud moments throughout, and the romantic scenes are well-written and satisfying. and hot! I can't wait to read the next one in the series.

Orignal and whoa hot and happy

This is a very intruiging book. It manages to lace more than a usual level of sensuality into a very interesting and funny story. I was in stiches during many of the scenes, especially between the hero and the students. The author has created a fantastic amount of tension, a remarkable heroine, and a yummy hero. The School of Gallantry? Sign me up.... and my Boyfriend too. I won't give you a play by play of the plot, I think the excerpt does a good job. But if you want to be fanning yourself and get a nice dose of comedy at the same time, Mistress of Pleasure will do the trick.
