More than a Mistress/No Man's Mistress: Two Novels in One Volume Kindle Edition

by Mary Balogh (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 326 ratings
See all formats and editions
From New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh come two classic tales of Regency-era romance, where scandalous liaisons kindle passions too powerful to conceal.
 
MORE THAN A MISTRESS
Hired to serve as nursemaid to the wounded Duke of Tresham, Jane Ingleby tries to pretend it’s strictly a business arrangement. Surely there could be nothing more perilous than being the lover of such a man. Yet when she gets past his devilish façade and sees the noble heart within, she knows the greatest jeopardy of all—a passion that drives her to risk everything on one perfect month with an improper gentleman who thinks that love is for fools. 
 
NO MAN’S MISTRESS
Lord Ferdinand Dudley is accustomed to getting what he wants—until he tries to claim his rightful estate from the bewitching Lady Viola Thornhill. Refusing to cede him the home she calls her own—and unwilling to consider marriage—Viola knows that this is a battle she cannot afford to lose. Each day under the same roof brings its share of frustration—and temptation—as both sides in this contest of wills find their resolve melting in the heat of passion’s bright flame.

I read both these books quite awhile ago, but when I saw that Mary Balogh had written another book tying the other 2 with it, I knew I needed to re-read these to books. I thoroughly enjoyed both books. Mary Balogh has a great way of bringing characters to life. I can almost believe they are, or were real people. I have just ordered "The Secret Mistress" and can hardly wait to read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Likable characters and stories
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2017

More Than A Mistress was probably my favorite of the two, but both were strong reads. Jane was just such a wonderful, outspoken character, perfect for setting one jaded duke on his ear. I would find myself laughing every time she got the last word. I adored their love story. No Man's Mistress was also strong, even if the character was a victim--she was a very sympathetic one and Ferdinand was a good and lively hero for her. Highly recommended. Two of Balogh's best.

5.0 out of 5 stars A 5 Star Favorite Read
Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2015

More Than a Mistress was my first Balogh novel to read and has soundly entrenched it on my re-read stack. The Duke of Tresham is an on odious, over-bearing beast, and it takes an interrupted duel and the resulting wounding for him to recruit Miss Jane Ingleby to act his nurse through his recuperation. Jane stands up to His Grace and brings out his repressed artistic leanings thumped down by his oppressive Father.
The emotional give and take between Tresham and Jane is magnificent, but the comedic bent when his sister, Lady Heywood and her atrocious taste in bonnets is a(welcomed) needed relief.

Mary Balogh is a really gifted writer. I just read More Than A Mistress and I loved it. I have read several of her books and she has the ability to make me emotionally involved with her characters. While reading More Than A Mistress, I experienced a whole range of emotions including tears for the hero. There were also places where I actually laughed out loud.

3.0 out of 5 stars Seemed like a good deal until...(3.5 stars)
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2015

Two Mary Balogh books essentially available for the price of one? This seemed like a great deal until I read both books. The first, More Than a Mistress, was fairly enjoyable....arrogant duke who meets his match in a heroine who won't back down to him. I had no major problem with anything in this romance. No Man's Mistress, however, was a very different book. It started out fine, but went downhill around the halfway point for me. Not to be too spoiler-ish, but once the reader learns how 4 years of Viola/Lilian' s past have been spent, there is no way one could believe she would not only be accepted, but also embraced by polite society. Granted, she took such desperate measures to protect her family. Still, surely there could have been another way. Overall, I found her character unlikable and somewhat distasteful as well as undeserving of the hero. I encourage you to check out the critical reviews for No Man's Mistress where it is sold separately.

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2012

This book (two books in one) was good. I liked that I could read both together. Having read their sister's story first, it was cool to go back and read the brothers. I have to say I enjoyed Tresham's story over Ferdinand's, but it would've been Jane and the way she tamed Treshman, making him seem much more human.

Great books I'd recommend separately, but was great in one volume.

I had read both books when they first were published but couldn't resist reading again! Also, couldn't wait to reread Balogh's The Secret Mistress. The books were all as spellbinding as the first time I read them. I again was totally engrossed in the emotions and trials of the Dudley siblings. Very well written, as usual.
