Praise for Margaret Rowe’s Tempting Eden:“Deeply disturbing, dark, and poignant, Tempting Eden is a love story that will stay with you long after the final page is read.”~Featured review, The Season
“Tempting Eden is a deeply emotional story that offers both wicked heat and delicious connection.”~Award-winning author Victoria Dahl
“Tempting Eden is a temptation you can’t pass up.“~Manic Readers
“Hart has got to be one of the most patient, sensitive and caring heroes ever written. He is the perfect balm for Eden’s wounded soul.
This is a stunning debut novel filled with intense emotions that left me feeling very satisfied and glad I read it. It will appeal to anyone who enjoys erotic historical romance. You’ll want to watch Ms. Rowe (who also writes as Maggie Robinson) and add her to your short list of favorites.”~TwoLips Reviews
“A unique and well-crafted twist on the traditional ward and guardian romance. As [Margaret Rowe] leads Eden through a morass of self-loathing into true joy in her sexuality and Stuart through a discovery of Eden’s secrets as well as a few of his own, you find yourself deeply engaged in the story. A solid and well-crafted read.” ~ Fresh Fiction
Praise for Maggie Robinson’s Mistress by Mistake from New York Times best-selling author Eloisa James: “Mistress by Mistake is a charming, extra-sexy tale.”
From Beverley Kendall, author of Sinful Surrender and proprietor of The Season: “Loved it, absolutely loved it. Readers are in for a SERIOUS treat! I should have been doing a hundred other things yesterday but I couldn’t put down the darn book. Just kept me hooked. This is the kind of book I will re-read until it’s worn and tattered. Gorgeous prose, a wonderful love story, and scorching heat makes Mistress By Mistake a stand out debut.” See the whole review here. Just scroll to the bottom of The Season’s Top Pick page!
From Tessa Dare, AAR’s Debut Author of the Year and author of Goddess of the Hunt, Rita-nominated The Surrender of a Siren and A Lady of Persuasion:“Wonderful! Grown-up, complex and witty characters, stunning prose, sparkling dialogue. Beautiful details of setting and the senses, chemistry palpable on every page. I completely fell in love with Charlie and Bay!”
From Smexybooks: “Mistress by Mistake has a hero and heroine that start out very feisty and build up to a very sweet and touching romance. A really fun, steamy story to read. I definitely recommend.”
From Sarah’s Book Reviews: “I was absolutely blown away by Mistress by Mistake. The story wasn’t at all predictable and I quickly fell in lust with the handsome Bay. I think this is probably the steamiest historical romance I’ve ever read & I really enjoyed the passion between fiesty Charlotte & sexy Bay – I’m surprised the pages didn’t spontaniously combust in places!”
From Romance Junkies:“Deliciously decadent and wickedly witty, MISTRESS BY MISTAKE is a delightful historical romance…one that I did not want to see end. Filled with witty repartee, humor, sizzling love scenes, a delicious plot, wonderfully complex characters, plot twists and romance, this story is a winner. I look forward to reading more works by this very talented debut author,whose creativity and imagination combine to give her a promising future.”
From Dear Author: “Sexy chemistry and the wry humor permeate the story. I really enjoy those books where the characters take real joy in their pleasure and this is one of them. It’s a steamy historical that I enjoyed re-reading for the sake of the review. B”
From Just Janga: “[Mistress by Mistake is] an unforgettable, sizzling hot story featuring Charlie and Bay, an H/H pairing that I hated to leave when I turned the last page.”
From Write Chic: “Normally, I’m not one of those readers who gets so glued into a book she forgets about sleep, but the story of Bay and Charlotte wouldn’t let me go. Reading Maggie’s debut, I experienced that rare feeling that only happens every so often: that buzz of awareness that comes when reading something truly wonderful, by someone who is destined for a shining career.”
From Quick ‘n Dirty Romance Reviews:”This book put a smile on my face from start to finish. I thoroughly enjoyed this fresh new voice in the historical romance scene and with MISTRESS BY MISTAKE Maggie Robinson brings humor and fiery passion to the courtesan themed romances. She is a gifted writer who has made a great first impression on me with her debut historical romance. I am looking forward to the other installments, especially now that I’ve found out who the next 2 mistresses will be.”
From Bibliophilic Book Blog: “Sensual, fun, romantic, heart-warming, sweet. If you want a super fun, fiery romance, definitely pick up this book. It is so good!”
