Kimberly M. from TROPHY CLUB, TX wrote on 8/20/2008...Great series. Lots of twists and action in this one.
Renee W. from BAYTOWN, TX wrote on 3/15/2007...Another one of JO BEVERLEY that you will not be able to put down. A young ladies brother auctions his sister off to the highest bidder. Story begins in ENGLAND 1761.
From the Malloren series, Bryght Malloren's story...excellent
Eileen B. (From Publishers Weekly: "When Portia St. Claire's half-brother gambles away the family estate, leaving them penniless, she sets off in search of a wealthy family friend, the Earl of Walgrave, from whom she hopes to secure a loan. Unfortunately, although Walgrave proves elusive, Portia has repeated, disturbing run-ins with handsome and notorious rake Bryght Malloren. Poor, plain and past the usual age for marriage, Portia recognizes that the well-connected Bryght is out of her league; moreover, she despises him as a gambler who, she suspects, contributed to her family's ruin. To her chagrin, she finds him strangely compelling. And Bryght, increasingly captivated, sets himself the difficult tasks of proving to her that they are truly soul mates and that he is not the rogue she thinks him. But circumstances and various scheming associates continually conspire to thwart Bryght's efforts. Beverley's latest fast-paced romp through 18th-century London is tremendous fun, and the hero and heroine are likable and satisfyingly complex. The chemistry between them is compelling, and the well-constructed plot keeps the pages turning. This is romance fiction at its best."

The Stakes... Portia St.Claires brother has gambled and lost, thrownig her into the power of ruthless men. Their price for his lif is her virtue, to be auctioned off in London's most notorious brothel...
A Malloren story (Bryght and Portia). Thought this one was the best of them. Jo Beverley writes wonderful historical romances.
The second book in the Malloren Series. I loved Bryght, but by the end of the book I just wanted to slap Portia ... a good book, nevertheless! :-)
THE STAKES
Poria St. Claire's brother has gambled and lost, throwing her into the power of ruthless men. Their price for his life is her virtue, to be auctioned off in London's most notorious brothel...
THE BIDDER
To retrieve an incriminating letter, Bryght Malloren once broke into a house where he was greeted at pistol point by a resolute woman...a woman he could swear stands before him, masked and trembling, on a madam's auction block...
THE RISKIEST GAME
Unable to leave Portia to such a cruel fate, Bryght turns the private wager into a very public game of seduction, one that confirms his reputation as a shameless rake and keeps all of London society breathless with anticipation. But on a night shimmering with destiny, truth, and passion, those who tempt fortune risk losing everything...including their hearts...
