Product Description

A Romance Review June, 2004- Kris Alice, Reviewer
The Mysterious Miss M is a treat...rewarding and mesmerizing, poignant and strong.

From the Author
Dear Readers,
Thank you so much for your interest in The Mysterious Miss M. This book-of-my-heart is my debut novel, a gritty and passionate Regency Historical Romance. In 2003 the Mysterious Miss M won the Romance Writers of America Golden Heart Contest. The Mills & Boon editor who judged the contest also bought the manuscript. I am delighted it is available to you.
I hope you give The Mysterious Miss M a try.
Happy Reading,
Diane Gaston

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning! ** Grade: A++, 20 Feb 2005
By MaryGrace Meloche (Ontario, Canada.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Absolutely, wonderful! Not many debut writers would undertake this project: choose a (wh.re) and invent a heroine. Amazingly, new author Diane Gaston not only tries but succeeds! And what a success! Gaston's THE MYSTERIOUS MISS M is charged with sensitivity, feeling, and love. And the reader gets to bask in the emotions.

Lord Devlin Steele is a younger son - the younger son of the Marquess of Heronvale. As a youth he is reckless, carefree, and unruly. When he is of age, he defends England against Napoleon's evil. In the days leading up to Waterloo, in a seedy gaming house, he enjoys the charms of a beautiful soiled dove. Four years later their paths cross again, this time the fallen angel is Steele's, in lieu of a gambling debt.

Madeline is the victim of circumstance and the evil of one man. She lives her youth servicing men, men who have earned her - earned her by gambling. Now she is free, thanks to the tenderness of one man - her fantasy man - a man who has lived in her heart for four long years.

Diane Gaston has written THE MYSTERIOUS MISS M with a gentle hand. Her words flow effortlessly across the pages. The characters, the setting, the storyline mesmerized this reader. Besides the romantic detail that swirls throughout the pages, Ms. Gaston allows her characters to live without 'romantic conflict'. Here the reader will find none of the usual bickering that is so prevalent in many 'romance' stories. Instead, Gaston solves disagreements promptly and for that I am grateful.

During the last few years, I have read countless romance books. I have awarded 'perfection' to only one book: Lisa Kleypas' WHERE DREAMS BEGIN. Today I give my second perfect score. Diane Gaston has written a masterpiece. It has every element needed in a true romance book - love, sensuality, and merit.
Grade: A++

5.0 out of 5 stars It's about time 'The Mysterious Miss M' is published!, 5 Jul 2004
I'm an avid reader and a friend of Diane Gaston who had the privilege of reading this novel a few years ago before Mills and Boon bought it. I loved it then and I love it now. I couldn't wait to get my hardback addition from Amazon.com UK, which I now have in my possession. 'The Mysterious Miss M' has something of everything to offer its readers-romance, action, history, and a bit of a controversial heroine to give it an interesting flair. I recommend 'The Mysterious Miss M' to the many romance readers around the world. Don't miss this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Real Keeper, 23 Jul 2004
By A Customer
This is one of the best books I've read in a long time. It has an emotional depth and realism not found in every romance. Ms. Gaston has created a strong heroine capable of handling all the difficulties life throws at her. One for the keeper shelf.
