A Novel

I have made no secret of the fact that Tessa Dare is all time favourite author and while this series wasn't as good as her later series, I still really enjoyed it. 

As I writer, I love seeing how much she has grown as a story teller since these books. These were a little long and not as well paced as her later series, leaving me stalling a bit as I read them. They also had a slightly more serious tone to them and they weren't as witty as her others. 

All in all, though, I loved the characters in this. Three men - unwittingly thrown together who should hate each other, but then become firm friends - and the three women who love them. I loved following each story though I think Julian and Lily's was my favourite as I had been looking forward to it from the first book. 

A good read from a great author.

I was looking forward to Julian and Lily, and it was a fun read with the #ButDoTheyBang book club. Lily is deaf to a childhood illness, and discovering Julian's mother was deaf, and was raised in a community of others who spoke sign language, was a lovely plot point to include.

The mystery about the killer the arced through this series was meh for me, but I also am not a big mystery reader, so YMMV. 

Julian's double life was also intriguing, and the sexy times were super fun!

Either I just was not in the mood or this wasn’t the right book for me.

In Tessa Dare’s dazzling new trilogy, the men of the Stud Club live and play by their own rules—until passion changes the game. The bastard son of a nobleman, Julian Bellamy is now polished to perfection, enthralling the ton with wit and charm while clandestinely plotting to ruin the lords, ravish the ladies, and have the last laugh on a society that once spurned him. But after meeting Leo Chatwick, a decent man and founder of an elite gentlemen’s club, and Lily, Leo’s enchanting sister, Julian reconsiders his wild ways. And when Leo’s tragic murder demands that Julian hunt for justice, he vows to see the woman he secretly loves married to a man of her own class. Lily, however, has a very different husband in mind. She’s loved Julian forever, adores the man beneath the rakish façade, and wants to savor the delicious attraction they share—as his wife. His insistence on marrying her off only reinforces her intent to prove that he is the only man for her. Obsessed with catching a killer, Julian sinks back to the gutters of his youth, forcing Lily to reach out with a sweet, reckless passion Julian can’t resist. Can her desire for a scoundrel save them both—or will dangerous secrets threaten more than their tender love?
