Reviews
Reviews for Maggie Robinson’s Master of Sin
From Publishers Weekly: “Robinson turns in an unusual Regency packed with drama. Despite the heavy secrets, the romance is unaffected and pure.”
From RT BookReviews: “Robinson crafts an intelligent, powerful, emotional, highly sensual love story with a damaged hero and an exceptional heroine, moving the story beyond the typical and into the unconventional. Readers will become so invested in the characters that the fast pace and heated sexual tension only add to the delight. Fine storytelling.”
41/2 Blue Ribbons from Romance Junkies:” A delightfully decadent read, MASTER OF SIN, the fourth and final book in phenomenal author Maggie Robinson’s COURTESAN COURT series, is a witty, sensual historical romance. Maggie Robinson fans will already be familiar with hero Andrew Rossiter and will learn the reasons behind his previous bad behavior. Due to his scandalous past, Andrew does not feel that anyone can really love him, nor does he feel worthy of love. But Gemma has secrets of her own. Infused with secrets galore, complex characters, witty dialogue, sexual tension, murder, suspense, passion and romance, this emotion-packed story is an absolute delight. Is there any wonder that Ms. Robinson has become one of my very favorite authors? Readers will find themselves rooting for this very atypical couple, who deserve the happiness that has long been denied them.”
Reviews for Maggie Robinson’s Mistress by Marriage
“Maggie Robinson gives me exactly what I love. A story that pulls me in, keeps me reading and has some naughty bits to keep me panting. I enjoyed this book immensely. The interactions between Edward and Caroline seemed honest and true with a ton of spark.” Nikki Brandyberry, Ramblings from a Chaotic Mind
Publishers Weekly: “Robinson provides some playful dialogue and warm moments, but the most fun derives from the way Caroline skewers society in her novels, with quotes from the books presented at the top of each chapter like bonbons.”
RT Book Reviews-4 Stars “Steam rises from the pages as Robinson devises a new kind of marriage. Her strong characters and depth of emotions add to the high degree of sensuality.
Five years ago the staid widower Baron Edward Chase impulsively married the ravishing Lady Caroline Christie. It was a catastrophe. Edward banished Caroline to a house on Jane Street and visited her once a year; Caroline became the authoress of a rather scandalous series of novels.
Edward realizes he must move on, but first he must get Caroline out of his blood. He devises a plan: she will be his mistress, his to command any time of day or night. At first Caroline refuses, but then she agrees. The rebuilding of their relationship on a new and sensual level leads them back to bed and slowly toward a powerful relationship based on more than lust.”
5 Blue Ribbons from Romance Junkies: “A sizzling hot read…Teeming with clever repartee, heartbreak, secrets, scandal, blistering hot love scenes, kidnapping, romance and plenty of love, this story is one you will want to read time and again. A definite keeper! All it takes is seeing the name Maggie Robinson on a book to make it a must read for me. Do not miss MISTRESS BY MARRIAGE or any of the other books in this delightful series!” The complete review is here.
Reviews for Maggie Robinson’s To Match a Thief” in Improper Gentlemen
Publishers Weekly:”Robinson’s witty multidimensional characters are vividly entertaining in “To Match a Thief,” in which Lucy Dellamar pretends to be the mistress of broke Lord Ferguson until he sells her home to Sir Simon Keith, her first love.”
RT Book Reviews: Here is a trio of sensual and pleasant stories by three talented authors, which proves that Improper Gentlemen make some of the best lovers and then husbands. An enjoyable read.
Romance Junkies:”A titillating and humorous read, TO MATCH A THIEF is a story that I hated to see end. I am an avid fan of gifted author Maggie Robinson’s works, which is why I placed her on my auto-read list. The fact that she still remains on that list is proof of her phenomenal talent.”
The Romance Dish: “I enjoyed all three of these novellas but especially Robinson’s and Marlowe’s. While both are short in length (around 110 pages), the character and story development are exceptionally well done and I was left with a “full book” feeling by the time I reached the end of each novella. Robinson’s “To Match a Thief” sparkles with wit, humor and characters who all take turns stealing the show. It’s an absolute delight!”
Reviews for Margaret Rowe’s Any Wicked Thing
5 Star Top Pick from Night Owl Reviews: “Incredibly hot, addictive…impossible to put the book down.”
“It is impossible to find a more perfect title for such a decadently erotic novel as ANY WICKED THING. Well-written, with a fine flare for flirtatious sarcasm, Ms. Rowe has penned a deliciously entertaining historical romance, blessed with insanely sexual love scenes that are equally raw and riveting. ” ~Romance Junkies
RT Book Reviews for Mistress by Midnight: “Robinson is at her best when it comes to crafting a highly sensual romance and readers seeking the sizzle and burn will enjoy her story.”
Publishers Weekly: “Plenty of passion and genuinely likable characters.”
Romance Junkies: “Deliciously wicked, MISTRESS BY MIDNIGHT, the second book in THE COURTESAN COURT trilogy, is a tantalizing historical romance that I found hard to put down. But then I seem to have that same problem with every book I have read by exceptionally gifted author Maggie Robinson. Beautifully imbued with humor, exciting plots, surprising plot twists, charismatic characters, believable, snappy repartee, enticingly sensual love scenes and plenty of romance, this story is unforgettable. Anyone looking for a terrific read should get their own copy of MISTRESS BY MIDNIGHT. You won’t regret it! If you enjoy this story, you will definitely want to read the first book in this series, MISTRESS BY MISTAKE.”
Publishers Weekly review for Lords of Passion
Lords of Passion
Virginia Henley, Kate Pearce, and Maggie Robinson, Kensington/Brava, $14 trade paper (320p) ISBN 978-0-7582-5107-7
This lively book collects three well-matched historical romance novellas set in England. In Henley’s “Beauty and the Brute,” high-born teens Charles and Sarah are wedded to settle Charles’s father’s gambling debts. Mortal enemies on their wedding day, they part for three years, only to reunite as strangers and experience unexpected passion. In Pearce’s “How to Seduce a Wife,” prim young Louisa March yearns to feel pleasure in the bedroom. Her husband, Nicholas, wants to help her, but doesn’t know how. Could a Mayfair madam help them? In Robinson’s delicious “Not Quite a Courtesan,” a young heiress gets far more than she bargains for when she marries into a family of swindlers short on cash but long on charm. Readers will float away on the literary flair of these escapist tales, each touched with just the right amount of eroticism. (Dec.)
RT Book Reviews for Lords of Passion:
RT Rating ****
Passion or sex can be serious or fun and these three talented authors show the many sides of desire. Readers will delight as fantasies are played out and passion is given free rein, and while there is plenty of lust, there is also trust, love and tenderness — enough to please any reader seeking pleasure.
Romance Junkies Review for Lords of Passion:LORDS OF PASSION is a luscious anthology of three erotic Regency romance novellas featuring three heroes of varying birth and backgrounds, but all thoroughly well studied in the ways of love and the art of intimacy. Oh to be their heroines!
The LORDS OF PASSION collection could not have found a more wonderful culmination than Ms. Robinson’s NOT QUITE A COURTESAN. Perhaps it’s the self-aware rake in Darius Shaw that is so appealing, or perhaps his straightforward manner in how he deals with Pru, or perhaps how something in Pru’s stringent propriety resonates with Darius making him gravitate towards her – whatever it is, it’s totally enchanting. The repartee between Darius and Pru, Darius and his steward, even between Pru and his steward, is clever and laugh-out-loud amusing. The lovemaking scenes are heart-stoppingly, monstrously sweet, and so erotic that readers will suffer from dry mouth. Put simply… NOT QUITE A COURTESAN is superb!
The Romance Dish: “Like the unique artifacts for which Darius searches the world, Robinson’s “Not Quite a Courtesan” is a treasure. Well written, this story flows smoothly, with humor and a satisfying depth of emotion. Intelligent, practical, take-charge Pru is the perfect foil for Darius’s sensual, teasing nature and the banter between them is an absolute delight. From beginning to end, their journey is romantic, sensual, and thoroughly enjoyable. I admit, I hated to say goodbye.”
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
Romance Junkies:”Margaret Rowe delivers a unique historical romance that will keep you enthralled from start to finish. TEMPTING EDEN is murky, edgy and filled with complex motivations and actions. The serious tones and intricate storyline pulled me in. Despite the darker touches, this is a quite erotic and enjoyable read. Ms. Rowe presents us with a cast of redeemable characters, detailed surroundings and a sizzling chemistry that is made believable among a somewhat unlikely couple. She provides just enough of the heroine’s heartbreaking past that you feel genuine anguish for her. Then she takes and pulls her out of the ashes. This is a memorable story that is sure to leave a lasting impression.”
“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 the Romance Reader: “Mistress By Mistake is a real gem, a great read from start to finish, and highly recommended. ”
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!”
From Rakehell Reviews:”The sensuality of the scenes was phenomenal.”
From Affaire de Coeur: “A fun read that will keep you turning the pages into the night.” 4 1/2 stars
