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.

 An enjoyable read June 30, 2008
When Marietta Winters' brother is arrested for murder, she discovers there is only one person in town willing to help her prove his innocence. Gabriel Noble's price is steep, but he is willing to work for three favors called due at his discretion. Marietta agrees and discovers that Gabriel has more reason to find the murderer than she does.
The title and the book blurb really intrigued me (I could do without the cover art), but I found the story dealt more with the events that led up to THE THREE NIGHTS OF SIN opposed to the nights themselves. Although not what I had bargained for, the book still held its own. There were a few places of description that wobbled, but nothing that was irritating.
Ms Mallory's writing style is very clean and enjoyable. Her characters are fantastic, and I loved the way they were evenly matched. I rooted for them from page one.
Her plotting is good and easy to follow except for a few 'did I miss something' moments. This was easily forgiven when a major hook, about three fourths into the story, had me turning the pages before I finished the last words. I had to see how this was going to be handled and I was on pins and needles hoping the characters would make me proud.
Overall, I think this author has a lot to offer and will improve with each book she writes.

 Loved it!! June 30, 2008

I loved this book!!! And like other reviewers point out, don't let the cover discourage you from getting this book. The herioine isn't even blond for goodness sake, or filled out! This is one of those rare books that tells a really good mystery and love story simultaneously. Usually, I'm a little put off by those kinds of books, but the author does a really good job of intertwining the mystery with the romance of the two main characters. You know how sometimes you read a romance novel that has this totally seperate mystery sub plot that barely has an affect on the two main characters' romance. This book is not like that at all!!!! The mystery actually drives the romance. I couldn't put this book down.
 So much hype for an average book. June 27, 2008

Well after reading all the "amazing" 5 star reviews..i was anxious to get my hands on a copy of the book itself. Well i will not bore you with the plot that has already been said enough times...ill just get right into it. The first half of the book was spent with arguments..where M (heroine) kept saying "I dislike you"..As if we didn't get that oh...100 pages earlier..and G (Hero) trying to what kiss her? Anyways aside from their lackluster romance in the first half..we started getting into the mystery of the murder..FINALLY. Now as much as i love suspense..it just wasn't there in the middle of the book..i felt like the suspense was delivered right before the final chapters..a bit rushed? I suppose..and so was the romance...it really wasn't till the final chapter that i completely forgot i was reading a romance novel...i could have sworn i said "Oh yeah what are those two love birds up to?"..And the ending?...once again was rushed. Anyways some parts were honestly boring.. i had to skim..Im more interested to see if Jeremy has his own story...back to the book..Really quite average then what i excepted. Like they say when its too good to be true..it probably is.
Run-of-the-mill but pleasant enough romance June 24, 2008

There's nothing really original about this book. The cover artwork looks like thousands of other books published in this genre, and particularly by this publisher. The title is semi-titillating but slightly inaccurate when you read the book (there were plenty more than three nights of sin). The feisty, independent, down-on-her-luck heroine is familiar, as is the arrogant, hard-to-read alpha male hero. The setting in the seamy underbelly of London where tavern wenches with bad teeth disport themselves with locals is nothing new.
But there's still some charm to this story. Granted, our heroine Marietta Winter is a bit too good to be true, sacrificing her future for her worthless brothers. The hero, Gabriel Noble, has a tortured past and he's trying to overcome it by doing good deeds. When Marietta is referred to him in order to get help proving her brother Kenny innocent of the Middlesex Murders, she has nothing with which to bargain except her body. It's not entirely clear whether this is the reward that Gabriel actually wants for helping her, and he gets it soon enough anyway, but they end up working together to try to solve the mystery of the Middlesex Murderer's identity. As society believes even more firmly that Marietta's family are involved, and as Gabriel realises that the culprit might actually be someone close to him, they have to decide whether they can trust and believe in each other. So nothing new there then.
Those who like this kind of book will enjoy it. The historical detail is nice in places, inaccurate in others (particularly the dialogue) but, once again, that's common in this kind of book. However if you're looking for a read a little out of the ordinary, this isn't it.

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.
