A Woman With A Secret

Victoria Ashton has intelligence and ambition--qualities of little value to most marriage-minded gentlemen of the ton. Her own father has no idea of Victoria's hidden life as an anonymous trader in London's stock market. But her hopes of independence are shattered when her father's enemy, Blake Mallorey, assumes Charles Ashton's debts and presents Victoria with a stark choice: live with him as his mistress for one year, or condemn her family to bankruptcy.

A Gentleman With Resolve

For years Blake has dreamed of justice, and his scheme becomes all the sweeter when he sees the beauty that Victoria has become. Scoundrel he may be, but Blake will not force anyone into his bed. He intends to entice Victoria, one wicked kiss at a time. But with a woman as spirited and sensual as Victoria, seduction works both ways--and a plan rooted in revenge can blossom into a scandalous passion. . .

I really wanted the villain to die lol I can admit that, and because he didnt I would really give the book 4.5 stars. with that being said I love Blake. I have owned this book for about a year and a half and have read it three times. I think the heroine should have groveled a little more and at times her belief in others made her TSTL (lol again)but seriously this is one of my favorite historical romances.

I took a gamble on this book and it paid off. Great story with well developed characters. I really liked that Victoria had to make the best decisions for herself and not fall in line with what Blake wanted all the time.

4.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 STARS - VERY NICE READ
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2010
Lady Victoria Ashton has been secretly helping her brother settle his gambling debts with her wits and intelligence. No one but her brother knows of her ability to invest in the stock exchange and be very good at it.

In comes the Earl of Ravenspar - Blake Mallory, who has been abroad for nine long years. Victoria's father is responsible for his family's demise: his father's suicide and the horrible end his mother and sister encountered in a squalid London workhouse where both eventually lost their lives. Blake has come for revenge and he will extract it from Victoria's father in the form of taking her as his mistress for a year or he will ensure that her father and her family end up in the same conditions that befell his family.

Victoria's father hands her over to Blake without the blink of an eye. His callous behavior towards his daughter is no surprise to Blake - but Victoria agrees with the despicable scheme and goes off with Blake to his country estate to ensure her family's debt is paid off.

Much to her surprise, she finds Blake, a man who has made his fortune, is very caring and concerned to those around him. His kindness towards his tenants and everyone he interacts with is a mystery to Victoria as well as the fact that though she may be residing under his roof - he has made no attempt to debauch her and bed her.

I agree with one reviewer here - it was very difficult to understand the staunch loyalty that Victoria exhibits towards her father - a man who has never treated her with any respect or kindness and cares nothing for her reputation when he handed her over to Blake to be his mistress.

Other than that "flaw" the story was quite interesting and enjoyable. I liked how Victoria finally succumbs to Blake's charm and in turn how he is fascinated by Victoria's intelligence, loyalty and innocence. Even after he finds out that she has spied on his financial deals and reported them to her father - he realizes that he has fallen in love with her courage, spirit and her beauty.

Good story by Gabrielle. Goes highly recommended.

I have mixed feelings about this book. On one hand I thought the author wonderful to incorporate a "modern" woman as the heroine. On the other hand, this "modern" woman was a twit. The hero was well characterized, believable and captivating. She was not. Beautiful? Of course. Clever? Kind of. Believable? Nope. I'm still looking forward to Tina Gabrielle's next offering. My hope is she'll tighten up her female character and make her pop!

5.0 out of 5 stars First-rate debut with great chemistry
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2010
Blake Mallory, Earl of Ravenspear, returns to England after a ten-year absence and encounters his enemy's daughter, Victoria Ashton. A child of ten when he left, Victoria has grown into a beautiful woman. Blake is instantly taken with her, but it is not marriage he has in mind. Ten years ago, Victoria's unscrupulous father caused the financial ruin and resultant suicide of Blake's father, which ultimately destroyed Blake's family. Blake is now an extremely wealthy man and is bent on revenge. He is determined to make Victoria his mistress to embarrass her father and ruin the reputation of the Ashton family.

Victoria's father has borrowed heavily from numerous banks. Blake secretly purchases the promissory notes and then demands immediate payment from Ashton, which he does not have. Ashton is faced with bankruptcy and the very real possibility that he and his family will be sent to the poor house. Blake offers him a deal: a year's grace period on the loan in return for one year with Victoria as his mistress. Ashton callously agrees, despite his daughter's protestations, and she is soon ensconced in Blake's country estate. But nothing is as straightforward as Blake had envisioned...for although he hates the father, his feelings - and protectiveness - towards Victoria are not so easy to sort out.

This book was hard book to put down. The electric interplay between Blake and Victoria hooked me from the start, and the intrigues of their living under the same roof - though often at cross-purposes - kept me riveted till the end. The couple has great chemistry and both leads are very likable. Although Blake starts out forcing Victoria to his will, he is nonetheless an endearing and sympathetic hero. He is an alpha male with a heart, alternately tough and tender. Victoria is very appealing as well, strong and smart yet definitely feminine. I particularly enjoyed the story's business angle, curious to see how Victoria's dual allegiances would play out. My two quibbles are the over-the-top badness of Victoria's father, and the conspicuous absence of friends and servants who might discover/expose Victoria's illicit arrangement. Overall, though, this is an excellent read: good story, well-paced, charismatic leads, and an exciting romance nicely developed. A first-rate debut by Ms. Gabrielle.
