Mistress Matchmaker, Book 2
A mistress should never be foolish enough to fall in love with her protector, nor trust him with her financial future. Mariah Desmond did both, and now her dearly departed protector has left her with nothing.
Forced to seek another protector, she’s determined that this time, she’ll lead with her survival instinct—not her heart. But when she attends one of Vivien Manning’s infamous parties, the familiar face of her late lover’s best friend throws her for a loop.
A painful past taught John Rycroft that he’s not fit to be anyone’s knight in shining armor. His soft spot—make that a hard spot—for Mariah is precisely why he’s kept his distance. Yet the sight of her flirting with a bevy of men vying to become her next lover makes something inside him snap.
As John hauls her bodily away from her suitors, Mariah’s indignation melts away in the heat of the sizzling sexual chemistry. She quickly finds it isn’t easy to navigate John’s stormy emotional waters. Especially when his abusive father’s quest to get his son back under his thumb puts her life in danger.
Warning: Contains intensely sexy scenes of two people falling into bed (a lot) and in love.

Steamy Historical With A Little Intrigue
By Sophia Rose
This is the second book in the Mistress Matchmaker series and it is the first one that I read. It is loosely connected to the first one so can easily read as a stand-alone.
I have an absolute weakness for historical romance and sometimes very passionate ones at that. This one has all the hallmarks of the historical with its beautifully dressed participants, the balls and masquerade, the gentility of the time while on the other hand because this story is about demi-monde of society (mistresses and their gentleman protectors), it is also lusty and openly passionate.
The story is about a woman, Mariah Desmond, who has just lost her protector of three years and he dies leaving her desolate both financially and because she allowed her feelings to enter into their arrangement. Now it is time to find a new protector and her friend Vivian sets out to help her. Vivian invites her to a ball and Mariah comes. She forces herself to put herself out there and several men are interested until her dead lover's best friend wrests her from the room in a confusing fit of temper, drags her into a private parlor, and shocks her with a desire to have her for the night.
John Rystock has been interested in Mariah since the first moment he met her, but his loyalty to his best friend keeps him from ever acting on his desires for the man's mistress. John has a reputation for taking any woman for a night and moving on to the next. He is a good lover so he has plenty who are willing. But on this night when he sees Mariah for the first time since his friend's death, he is angry to see her looking for someone new and he is equally determined to satisfy his lust for her and get her out of his system. She wants to know his intentions and he tells her frankly that he can only give her the night.
When all is done, he does indeed walk away, but he finds that he was affected by being with Mariah and wants her again.
Mariah continues her quest even though she secretly wishes that John would have offered for her. She is surprised beyond all when he finds her again and rescues her from a man that won't take 'no' for an answer. He makes a startling proposition to her. They will conduct an affair where there are no strings attached in that she is welcome to continue her search, but in the mean time they will have each other just for pleasure. Mariah is skeptical of agreeing because she knows that she'll become attached, but wants to be with John so agrees.
Meanwhile, John's past comes knocking on his door to haunt him once more. Things turn dangerous and he should be focused on the danger, but all he can think about is Mariah and protecting his growing feelings for her. But the evil from his past that seeks to break him is observant and zeroes in on Mariah as his weak spot.
This was a very heated read and is obviously erotic, but it is also a sweet romance in a way with the slowly growing relationship from no strings to a deep and sacrificial love. I enjoyed how there was still a nice plot that drove all the passionate scenes and the element of danger pushed up the intensity. I found the villain a bit over the top, but yet his part in the story still worked for me. I really liked the role Vivian played as Mariah's wise friend and as a subtle matchmaker for this pair who really worked well for each other. I loved seeing Mariah's sweet, but lusty nature work as the perfect foil to break through the jaded, unfeeling wall that John tried to put up to protect himself from getting hurt. It's always fun to read about men who aren't as unmoved as they'd like to pretend because it seems that those character types tend to fall the hardest.
It was a satisfying read that I'd recommend to fans of Historical erotica.

Looking for a hot steamy story
By Melody May
Here we are again, and I bring you another book I just finished. Granted this is not my typical reads, but hey you got try other stuff right. Plus, you never know what you will find out there. So, today selection is For Desire Alone by Jess Michaels, which is book two of Mistress Matchmaker series.
Mariah Desmond is on the prowl for a new protector after finding out that her lover left her with pretty much nothing after he passes away. You would think she would get more than what she got, after all she was his mistress for sometime. At last, it was not the case.
Back on the market as you might say, Mariah stumbles upon Owen's best friend John Rycroft. They both have an enjoyable time of pleasure, but John is unable to give more than that. Hurt by John, Mariah continues the search. However, John is unable to stop himself for seeking out more.
So, I have been trying to come up with the right words for today's entry. All that comes to mind is hot steamy sex. The kind that makes you yearn for a cold shower. Granted there is more to story than a hankering for a cold shower. For example, Mariah was never cut out to be a mistress. Somehow she was able to maintain some type innocences in a jaded lifestyle. However, life choices changes the course of direction.
Then you have John who is rich and handsome, and any woman would be glad to hold. Yet he is perfectly content being a one night stand kind of guy, until he has Mariah. Something changes in him when it comes to Mariah. I love that he tries so hard to be honorable and keep his distance from Mariah. Somehow he can't.
Overall, I liked the story. It wasn't the hot steamy sex that did it for me, but the actual story itself. There was so much depth to For Desire Alone and made a good read. So, if you are looking for something a little more heated and a dark brooding hero, you might want to checkout For Desire Alone by Jess Michaels.

Enjoyable steamy historical
By M. Lapierre
For Desire Alone is the second book in Jess Michael's The Mistress Matchmaker series. While linked to the first in the series, An Introduction to Pleasure, it's not absolutely necessary to have read the first in order to be completely swept away by this story. From the moment John sweeps Mariah from the ball, their long-suppressed desire and blazing passion for each other is at the forefront of their every interaction...it's such an enjoyable ride to get a glimpse of the naughty happenings going on behind closed doors in spite of the apparent rigid time period.
I was absolutely thrilled to discover the bigger role Vivien Manning plays in this story...and ecstatic to see that her story will be released on March 5, 2013...Her Perfect Match.
