Product Description
Three nights of danger . . . When her brother was arrested for murder, the ton shut its doors to Marietta Winters. No one would help her save him from the gallows—no one but Gabriel Noble. In exchange for taking the case, Gabriel requests three favors from the desperate young beauty, and Marietta has no other choice but to make a deal with the sinfully handsome devil. Three nights of pleasure . . . Searching for clues in the rough underbelly of London, Marietta must masquerade as a shamelessly wanton wench—much to Gabriel's delight. But Marietta swears to herself that her passionate moans are just for show. She could never fall in love with such a maddening, arrogant, seductive stranger . . . could she? Three nights of sin . . . Night after night, she satisfies his wicked cravings. But soon Gabriel wants more from Marietta than just three nights of sin—and even a sordid secret in his past won't prevent him from trying to possess her forever.

 Great Book! - Forget the cover May 13, 2008
19 out of 19 found this review helpful
Anne Mallory has written a winner. This is no bodice ripper- I was so put off with the cover I must confess I held little hope for the contents and I could not have been more wrong! This is a compelling, intelligent compilation of primary and secondary characters in a dark story of troubling mystery and love - but don't be confused, this is truly fascinating, different approach to this genre of books. I don't want to give spoilers but suffice to say Gabriel and Marietta are unlike any hero or heroine I have seen in a historical romance in a long, long time - they had me so hooked! This book also has some of the most intensely erotic, beautiful sensuality between well nuanced characters I have read - it is such an essential element of communication in the story. - I can't say enough - excuse me I am leaving to read it again now to refine my experience of the book. This is a keeper for me!

Marietta Winters is desperate. Her younger brother has been arrested and accused of being the Middlesex murderer. Her older brother is a spendthrift who has reduced the family to dire straits. A family friend recommends she seek out the help of Gabriel Noble, who is well known for helping people, at a price -- 10,000 pounds or three favors. Since Marietta has no money, she has no choice but to choose the three favors. Gabriel also tells her that she will help in the investigation when he requires it. Their investigation draws them closer together and eventually uncovers secrets that Gabriel has never told anyone.
When I pick up an Anne Mallory book, I totally expect a wonderful romance and a great mystery. This book, however, has a fantastic, extremely sexy romance and a superb mystery. The chemistry between Marietta and Gabriel is sizzling, to say the least. I felt like I really knew these characters intimately (as much as they knew each other). And they stayed with me long after I closed the last page. In my eyes, THAT is a sign of a great book. The mystery was outstanding and had me guessing until the villain was revealed. And even then, I was shocked! Simply marvelous. Ms. Mallory's descriptions and settings are so detailed that I felt like I was there in the story. Another sign of a great book -- and in my opinion, this is Ms. Mallory's best book yet! So, if you like dark, sexy, emotional romance, this book is for you. I highly recommend it!
Three Nights of Sin- A Joyfully Recommended Title May 21, 2008

Marietta Winters is desperate. Her brother has been imprisoned and charged with murder. With no one to help her save her brother from certain hanging, Marietta turns to Gabriel Noble.
Gabriel agrees to take her brother's case in exchange for three favors. Because of her dire financial situation, Marietta agrees. Three favors that could lead Marietta and Gabe to more than just passion, three favors that could lead them to love.
Three Nights of Sin is a shining example of Anne Mallory's brilliance! I will forever adore Gabe. He is everything I want in a hero! Dark, secretive and infinitely honorable. Three Nights of Sin filled me with trepidation, desire and utterly satisfied happiness. A true page-turner with a surprising ending, I highly recommend Three Nights of Sin.

Surprisingly Good June 23, 2008

I'll admit, I almost didn't buy this book- both the cover and the summary on the back didn't really catch my eye. Luckily, someone I trust recommended it so I picked up my own copy, and was surprised by how extremely good it was from the very beginning.
Marietta is a strong willed and proud young woman who has no money and no resources to save her beloved brother from being executed for a crime he didn't commit. She is referred to Gabriel Noble, a man who seems to know everyone-from politicians to servants, from the rich to the poor. Because she cannot afford his $10,000 fee, Gabriel takes her case in exchange for 3 favors. From the beginning, Marietta is drawn to the very sensual and magnetic Gabriel, who may be more villain than hero, and is kept guessing regarding his intentions toward her and the case.
I loved Gabriel and Marietta- individually and together. Anne Mallory has created two fascinating characters, and an unlikely, but very steamy romance. His knowledge, experience and sensuality give him the upper hand in the relationship and his power over her is near absolute . . . until he begins to realize how very important she has become to him. Three Nights of Sin is a delightful read with two characters, and a romance, that will stay with you long after you stop reading.
Absolutely FABULOUS!!! May 9, 2008

This is my first time reviewing any book so here goes...I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! You can read the synopsis above so I wont go into it but let me tell you Oh my gosh is this book HOTT! I have been reading romance novels for years and since reading this one I have to go out and get more books by this author. In this book are some of the best characters I have read about in a long time. The hero is gorgeous and an alpha male to be sure but without the arrogance. He has a past and has risen above it and is a success. I loved the heroine. She isnt gorgeous but she has qualities about her that makes you love her and I am so glad that the hero saw past the plain exterior. He wasnt one of those gorgeous men that are full of themselves. It spoke well of them both. She has courage and integrity and a sharp tongue that can cut someone down to size. There is mystery and murder and love scences that are hot. I only keep ones that I have trouble putting down and this will have a permanent spot on my bookshelf. A must read for sure.
