Three Nights – Debra Mullins
4.5 / 5.0
Heat 7/10
Genre HR, regency
The book certainly starts with a bang. The h arrives late one night on the H’s doorstep. She is there to beg for her father’s life. He lost money to the H then accused the H of cheating. The H challenged him to a duel and is known as a deadly shot. The H agrees to spare her father and forgive his debt, on the condition that she spend three nights in his bed. The h reluctantly agrees.
A three night, passionate affair ensues. Although they try to keep it secret, the H’s friend sees her leaving one morning and later recognizes her. On the final morning, as she returns home with her father’s vowels in hand, her father sees her and realizes what has happened.
Part one of the story ends with the H being abducted by a press gang. Part two begins as the H returns home five years later, bent on revenge. He believes that the h’s father was responsible for his being abducted.
I don’t want to give too much away, but I will say that for the last 2/3 of the book the H and h are married, although not happily.
The author did a great job of showing the reader how both characters grew and developed. The H was not a nice person in the beginning. When he came back he was a better person but also an angry and bitter man, bent on revenge. The change in the h was more subtle. She eventually came around to see more of the H’s point of view and recognized that her father did not deserve her blind faith. I also appreciate that the H and h came to recognize and admit their love without a grand life or death crisis.
I will definitely look for more books by this author.
