Book Description
“Sweet and Spicy!!! Such a gem!...with every story Mrs. Lyons writes, I’m left with a smile.” Krysta Reviews “This is such an AMAZING story … compelling to read.” Reader Review Part 1 of 3; the HEA occurs in the third installment, Daring Declarations. A desperate widow dares greatly… Penniless since her husband’s demise and now ousted from her home by his indifferent heir, a young widow reaches her wits’ end—the end of her meager food stores, certainly. When her friend, a diamond of the demimonde, arranges a protector for Thea, she can do naught but agree. ’Tis that or starve. But what happens when her previously passionless existence is challenged by the titled lord who now owns her favors? The brusque, rough-around-the-edges Marquis keeps to himself, is annoyingly silent, but kisses like a dream and Thea soon falls for the mysterious man she knows nothing about… Save for his generous nature, lusty sense of humor, and the grand accommodations he’s provided. As to the man himself? Secrets abound and Thea fears she may have exchanged homelessness for heartbreak. Jane Austen fans who like to laugh out loud and always wished her fun and witty books had more heat are likely to enjoy this sweet and spicy Regency romance series told in three parts: Seductive Silence, Lusty Letters, and Daring Declarations.

Book Description
For Jane Austen fans who always wished her fun and witty books had more heat. The Mistress in the Making historical Regency series features sizzling hot Regency romance; character-driven, feel-good interactions that bring smiles and laugh out loud moments; and a heart warming HEA. “I recommend all three of the Mistress in the Making books to anyone who enjoys electric passion, witty humor, and a beautiful love story!” Reading Rebel Reviews “I did so enjoy reading all three books about the growing love between Thea and Daniel. They were funny and well written and I can’t wait to read more of this author’s books. Highly recommended reads and definitely keepers!” Five-Star UK Reviewer Seductive Silence (Book 1) – Pestered by a persistent stammer, a regency lord with a keen interest in orreries and boxing—but not in talking—must find a way to woo his new mistress without words. Recently widowed and increasingly poor, Thea’s been reduced to sharing her rented room with rodents and arguing over every morsel (the mice usually win). So when a friend suggests Thea consider a scandalous alliance, she cannot help but be intrigued… Lusty Letters (Book 2) – Thea’s fascinating new protector has secrets—several. Hesitant to destroy her newfound circumstances, she stifles her longing to know everything about the powerfully built—and frustratingly quiet—Marquis. But then his naughty notes start to appear, full of humor and wit, and Thea realizes she’s about to break the cardinal rule of mistressing—that of falling for her new protector. Egad. Lord Tremayne takes to writing letters to woo his new mistress, little realizing how their fun, flirty exchanges will quickly become the light of his day. Or how wretched he’ll feel when the charming Thea suggests they banter in person, possibly pen poetry—together. Blazing ballocks! Is she insane? Daring Declarations (Book 3) – An evening at the opera could prove Lord Tremayne’s undoing when he and his lovely new paramour cross paths with his sister and brother-in-law. Introducing one’s socially unacceptable strumpet to his stunned family is never done. But Daniel does it anyway. And it might just be the best decision he’s ever made, for Thea’s quickly become much more than a mistress—and it’s time he told her so. The sweet and spicy, 117,000 word Mistress in the Making historical romance bundle is a fun, “sexy Jane Austen styled”, emotionally satisfying tale told in three parts: Seductive Silence, Lusty Letters, and Daring Declarations. This digital box set contains the complete series. *** Sexy Historical Romance Books by Larissa Lyons: ROARING ROGUES REGENCY SHIFTERS steamy hot regency shapeshifters Ensnared by Innocence Deceived by Desire (on preorder) Tamed by Temptation (TBA) MISTRESS IN THE MAKING fun and sexy Regency series (Complete) Seductive Silence Lusty Letters Daring Declarations FUN & SEXY REGENCY ROMANCE Lady Scandal A SWEETLY SPICY HOLIDAY REGENCY Miss Isabella Thaws a Frosty Lord *** FOR FANS OF: sexy Jane Austen, Stephanie Laurens, Sabrina Jeffries, Sarah MacLean, Tessa Dare, Mary Balogh, Scarlett Scott, Alexa Aston, Grace Callaway, Stacy Reid, Alyson Chase, Dragonblade Publishing, Avon, Christi Caldwell, Jess Michaels, Merry Farmer, Chastity Bowlin, Mary Lancaster, Bree Wolf, Sally MacKenzie, Julia Quinn, Sandra Sookoo, Cheryl Bolen, Tammy Andresen, Tamara Gill, Eva Devon, Meara Platt, Elisa Braden, Lisa Kleypas, Tessa Candle, Eloisa James.

Jane Austen fans who like to laugh out loud and always wished her fun and witty books had more heat are likely to enjoy this sweet and spicy Regency romance series told in three parts: Seductive Silence (available for Free), Lusty Letters, and Daring Declarations. Lusty Letters—for a man who hesitates over words isn’t about to stumble over sentences, not when he has seduction on his mind.

Or how wretched he’ll feel when the charming Thea suggests they banter in person, possibly pen poetry—together. Blazing ballocks! Is she insane? Her fascinating new protector has secrets—several. And though Thea fears losing her common sense—but never her heart—to the powerfully built Marquis, she stifles her longing to know everything about him, hesitant to destroy her newfound circumstances should she press for more. But then his naughty notes start to appear, full of humor and wit, and she realizes ’tis likely too late—for her heart may already be his… Lusty Letters is Book 2 of 3 the Mistress in the Making series: a fun, “sexy Jane Austen styled”, emotionally satisfying tale; the HEA is in Book 3, Daring Declarations. “Mostly Epistolary, All Wicked Delight.

Book Description
"If the postmodernist ethical onslaught has led to the demise of literature by exposing its political agenda, if all literature is compromised by its entanglement with power, why does literature’s subterranean voice still seduce us into reading? Why do the madness and the scandal of transgressive literature, its power to force us to begin anew, its evil, escape the gaze of contemporary literary criticism? Why do we dare not reject ethics and the ethical approach to literature? If the primary task of literary criticism is to correct others’ ethical missteps, should we not begin by confronting the seductiveness of ethics, our desire for ethics, the pleasure we take in being ethical? And what is the relationship between ethics and history in the study of literature? What would be the ethical consequences of an erasure of history from literary criticism? In a series of essays on the writings of Kawabata Yasunari, Murakami Haruki, Karatani Kjin, Furui Yoshikichi, Mishima Yukio, Oe Kenzaburo, Natsume Soseki, and Kobayashi Hideo, Hosea Hirata visits the primal force of the scandalous in an effort to repeat (in the Kierkegaardian sense) the originary scene that initiates the obscure yet insistent poetry that is literature and to confront the questions raised."

Book Description
He’s not in the market for a wife. But she can pretend, can she not? No one can blame on-the-shelf companion Olivia Hales if she forgets herself when she stumbles across the shirtless man in the garden. But letting him assume that she’s the lady of the estate currently interviewing for a husband might be a big mistake. As a former captain of His Majesty’s Royal Navy, Nathaniel Oliver knows all about duty. Which is why he must deliver his apologies for the forged application his meddling, but well-intentioned motherless daughters fabricated, and take his leave. That was the plan anyway, before he met the buxom blonde on the overgrown grounds of the enchanting, ramshackle country estate, and they’re forced to take shelter together from a fierce storm. Olivia is certain her heart has been struck by lightning, while Nate wishes he was the wealthy, titled gent she advertised for. Despite recognizing that he has no hope of winning such a coveted jewel, it doesn’t mean Nate isn’t stubborn enough to try. Even if he has no inkling who he’s really in danger of falling in love with... Lady Imposter is the second book in a fun and sexy, adult Regency romance series perfect for readers who love witty banter, humor, and steamy scandals resulting in feel-good happily ever afters. **EXCERPT** Duty called. Tell the final applicant he wasn’t needed? It was a task she dreaded. To be cast last and now discarded without an audience? What man would take kindly to such news? Olivia proceeded toward the stairs, thinking, and not for the first time, how this old, neglected home could shine if only someone would devote some tender love and thoughtful care to it. Someone such as yourself? As you would as well? What? Thrive with someone’s thoughtful care? Tender love? Bah. On-the-shelf companions weren’t considered marriage material. Far from it. And the sooner she quit contemplating otherwise, the more content she would be. Safely skipping over the last questionable stair, she hopped over a chipped tile in the entry and headed for the massive front door, wrenching it open after only two attempts. Better at weather predictions than any soothsayer or tricksy knee, the ancient wood never failed to swell when rain approached. The verdant, lush green of a spring in full bloom greeted her, lent a lift to her spirits, and she fairly flew over the flagstone path that circled the old manor, intent on intercepting their errant applicant before he came back inside. Bad news was best broken under a sunny sky, or so her mama had always claimed. Olivia spared a quick glance upward and cringed. Today, a cloudy sky would have to do. Rounding the second corner, her feet stumbled to an abrupt halt. Her breath hissed inward. Her eyes nearly bugged to Bedfordshire and back. And her heart? That hurly-burly organ took off like a galloping horse—stealing away with her common sense perhaps? Because instead of swooning or shying away, instead of yelling loudly for Jacks, Olivia stood, happily, hungrily in place. She stood stock-still and she stared. Stunned. Savoring the sumptuous, unexpected sight…the play of muscle across a strong, bare back as applicant twenty-five (for who else could it be?), completely unaware of her presence, wielded a Dutch hoe in one corner of the weed-infested herb garden. Most notable of all? He was dressed in nothing more than black tall boots and tight black trousers. Obscenely tight trousers. Well now. And to think, Juliet had complained there wasn’t anything of value remaining on the grounds. Olivia begged to differ. She might have been trained to teach proper behavior to young ladies and to exhibit it herself, but she knew enough about life and death, about expectations and disappointments to know opportunity didn’t often knock. Especially opportunities for observing and admiring a strong, sweaty man wearing absurdly tight trousers. So she watched. And her dratted throat betrayed her, making some sort of begging, yearning whimper that had her unexpected treat jerking upright and whirling around. “Oh!” was all he said, a gruff sound of surprise. Oh was right. Oh great day in the gloomy afternoon, she’d never seen such a handsome man. With his shirt off. One who stared directly at her, as though he liked what he saw as well. Her. Well now. Mayhap this wouldn’t be such an onerous task after all.
