For the Earl's Pleasure by Anne Mallory

5.0

This is my first Mallory book and all I can say is AMAZING. Its been a long time since I read a book that had me totally captured in TWO PAGES (no lie). I was immediantely in love with the characters and foudn their angery banter interesting because it kept me wondering what exactly had happened between them and that even now they can't deny that strong old feelings are still there but not to each other. As the two spend a constant amount of time...however, forced in a way... you learn more little by little as things about their past and present are revealed so beautifully. One thing that always marks a great story is great character development because I find that good character development builds a great story just as this book creates. I loved the characters of Abby and Valeraine because they were unique to me and both we're on their own interesting and then together even better. Their story is unique as well. I've only come upon the supernatural aspect like this books possesses once but this was so much more amazingly told and grew more so with each page turned. It was hard to put it down for want of finding out what happened next!!! AMAZING BOOK! I can't wait to read more Mallory.
