rjordan19 's review for:
Three Nights...
by Debra Mullins
Aveline has a father that can't stay away from the gaming tables. Running them right into the poor house, he loses a massive 3,000 pound sum to Lucien, illegitimate son on a duke. Aveline goes to Lucien begging him to void the debt. Lucien demands three nights with Aveline as payment.
I really disliked this book. Pure personal reasons here. I don't like when sexual encounters happen too soon in the book, but sometimes it can work (Lisa Kleypas' Suddenly You comes to mind). In this book so much was spent right off the get go of them together but I didn't know who they were. I didn't care if they were together. There as no build up, no tension. Ok well, that can be fine, let's see what happens in the rest of the book, I thought to myself.
They come together again 5 years later. As the book progresses it just made me angry. Literally every character in the book made me angry. I have never wanted to rip out pages of a book with my teeth, but somehow me doing that to this book came to mind. I just couldn't stand the animosity between the two main characters. I get WHY it was there, but how they each handled it had me so mad. The lack of trust, just going on and on. How they handled basically every situation. I just could not like it.
I also felt like there was so much going on in this book. The couple had so many issues and really needed some time together to just build that relationship, get to know each other, let ME get to know them, build some tension, but I didn't feel it. It just seemed to jump from one thing to the next, never really giving me the solid resolution I wanted for each scenario. They just seemed to love each other one day and I didn't really feel how they got there. I was just happy to be done with this.
I can't say I don't recommend this book. You never know what you will like, and this might be it for you. If you like plenty of plot devices, enemies to lovers, a bit of mystery (though not overwhelming) then perhaps give it a try. I would consider trying Debra Mullins again, but definitely look for a different synopsis.
