Review: Did I read the same book?
Rating: 1 out of 5

Actually, I couldn't finish it so this rating is on the first 25% of the book.  I read another of Jess Michaels' books, from the Matchmaker series and liked it so I thought I would read another.  This book, Pleasuring the Lady, was not even close.  The characters were unappealing and the story did not convey their attraction.  Portia and Miles met at a Masquerade Ball, but actually Miles was a long friend of her brothers.  After their second meeting, they were found in a compromising position by Portia's brother.  Miles thought then he should marry Portia.  This is the first problem in the book. Miles is a confirmed bachelor and he immediately decides to marry.  What??  Oh, did I add that the Masquerade Ball is a place that people go to have uninhibited casual sex?  I like a good steamy read just like most who would choose this book, however the sex scenes were described so brashly.  What women would call a part of her female anatomy the P word.  Didn't feel this one at all!
