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!

1.0 out of 5 stars Rubbish, 13 Jan 2008
By CJ (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mysterious Miss M (Harlequin Historical) (Mass Market Paperback)
Sorry but afraid I disagree with the majority. This book has had such good write ups I was tempted to try it. I do like a good, well written Regency romance however this was the most unlikely, unrealistic, superficial and facile story and I really wish I had not bothered. It had no depth, did not ring true, was two dimensional and unbelievable. Her initial seduction, the casting off by her own family, she always wears mask (convenient), the ease with which he takes her on board along with her friend and child, the convenient romance of friend and his batman/valet, the way he introduces her to his family, the fact that she had slept with countless men but somehow, coincidentally, should have fallen pregnant with HIS baby ...... yeah well, enough said.

My copy of this book went straight to the charity shop.
