Mistress At a Price is perfect for my Dangerous Hero Addict Support Group movie challenge, because it has a 9 1/2 Weeks feel. I needed a book for that movie, and I got one here. This is quite different for a Sara Craven book, IMO. The heroine is a more 'worldly' woman than she usually writes. She's the one who wants a no-strings attached sexual relationship with the hero. The reasons are quite interesting. She is deathly afraid of emotional attachment, because of her parents' disastrous marriage and the subsequent string of marriage and affairs they have both had afterwards. She feels that she's better off staying single and focusing on making a life for herself and a career outside of emotional attachments with men. While she's not inexperienced, it's clear that she is also not a serial 'hit it and quit it' dater. She has some vulnerability that isn't quite as well-hidden as she thinks. She uses brittle armor to try to keep Liam at a distance, and she's not very nice to him at times.
We don't get Liam's point of view, so one has to guess how he feels about everything, but I suspected that he always had strong feelings towards her, and he was taking it slow so she wouldn't be scared off. I think that backfires, because he gives her the impression he is just after sex with her and seems almost predatory in that sense. I think that even when he shows objections initially to Cat's plan, she felt it was because he wasn't in control of their relationship parameters, not because he could have wanted more from the relationship. This is one of those books that I wish the characters would stop playing games. I don't have a lot of patience for that, honestly. This dynamic is not romantic to me. For me, a romance book has to show the emotions and the bond between the characters that goes beyond physical to the emotional/mental level. Otherwise, it's empty for me. I'm not saying that Craven doesn't bring that to the table. You get the impression that there is a lot more going on, but I was frustrated at Cat because she should have just been real and told Liam that she wanted more than what she originally suggested. While she enjoyed making love with him and spending time with him, deep down, she felt rejected and unfulfilled because she wasn't getting what she needed emotionally. It was kind of like when you get a Quarter Pounder with Cheese Large Size meal from McDonalds. It might satisfy at the time, but afterwards, the regrets surface. I realize she was afraid, but it was clear she wasn't happy with what she was getting with their 'no-strings' fling.
One thing I liked about this book was how it showed the change for the better in Cat's relationships with both her parents. Those old wounds were being healed in the best way possible. She was seeing her parents' regrets about their broken relationship and their efforts to make amends and to fix that relationship, because they still loved each other. Also they worked on seeding love into their relationship with Cat. I think they could finally see how damaging their antics were to their oldest daughter. The ending was very poignant, and that definitely enhanced my opinion of the book overall. A good way to end things, and felt almost like full circle.
I didn't enjoy this book as much as most of the others I've read by Sara Craven. I know it's a 'me' thing. I am not big on the no strings attached/affair theme, so of course, I'm not going to get as much out of this as someone who is more attracted to this storyline. I did like that Craven delves into the emotional impact of this kind of relationship on a person who is not jaded about relationships and believes in sex without emotional involvement. I don't look at sex that way, so for me, anytime I read books where sex is treated as something that can be indulged in without an emotional impact, I don't feel it's truthful, at least in my perception.
The writing was good, and I felt the emotions and the poignancy of Cat's situation. I didn't see as much romantic payout, which is why I read romance, so that's part of why I couldn't rate this higher.
Overall rating: 3.5/5.0 stars.

I thought this was excellent. I was really rooting for the characters and I loved how the tables were turned on the heroine, and yet you could still sense that the hero was head over heels for her. Great emotion and angst.

Heroine is afraid of emotional involvement because of the fallout from her parents' marriage. She arranges to have anonymous trysts with the hero in a London apt.
I like that the heroine is less virginal than Craven's typical heroines but there is no exchange of ILYs at the end. Also, the hero's extremely close relationship to the heroine's mother (so close that that the heroine thought he was going to marry her mother) was never explained. These two things ruined the book for me. Until then, I thought this was one of the best Cravens I had read.

Not my cup of tea.
I read HP’s because I want to read about a fairy tale romance. The young, succesful, goodlooking, sexy, hot billionaire who falls hard for the virgin h who wraps him around her innocent fingers.
This book is completely the opposite. She has had numerous sexual affairs already when she meets the H and almost immediately ends up in bed with him.
The next day she sets the rule that whatever they hace should only be sex and no commitment. At first he gets angry and leaves because he doesn’t want it to be only about sex.
But in a short while he changes his mind and he plays by her rules: just sex, nothing else. A few months later the h starts to not like that it’s only about sex.
Anyway, it is different from other HP’s because the h is nowhere near virginal and because she rules that the relationship between her and the H should only be about sexual encounters and nothing more than that.
I hate that casual sex thing. For me that’s just empty and not what romance is. And isn’t a HP supposed to be a romance? Weren’t there other genres than Harlequin Presents for this book to be published in?
What’s standard and typical Sara Craven is that the h is a slim blonde. She has written so many HP’s and I can’t remember of one single HP in which the h wasn’t the stereotype blonde h. It’s as if darkhaired women don’t exist for Sara Craven. Or maybe she thinks that no handsome, rich man could ever fall in love with a darkhaired woman. 🙄

10th February 2026. Read it again.
Loved it. Again.
They basically fall in love with each other instantly.
Slowly the hero convinces her that it’s better to have loved and lost than to not have loved at all.
Gorgeous.
Always on my re-reads.
********
The girl is terrified of loving someone and having her heart broken. She’s seen the carnage. Her parents. Her aunt Susan. Her cousin Belinda.
She doesn’t trust men. She definitely doesn’t believe in commitment or marriage. She doesn’t let herself go with any man. Always guarded. She has unemotional affairs. She’s no innocent babe in the wood. (Yet she is. The hero sees that.)
She meets the hero at a hotel where she’s attending a wedding. It’s instant for both of them. The attraction is off the charts. She tries to run.
He manipulates so she stays the night at hotel they meet. He’s the owner. She doesn’t know that.
They have a one night stand. He wants more. He’s convinced she feels the same way.
She does what serial womanisers do. She asks him to be her part time anonymous lover. No names. No details. Only booty calls.
He’s stunned. He refuses. They both can’t hold out. Thus starts the affair.
Hero slowly tries to make her see that she can have more with him. He meets her mother and understands why heroine is this way.
Finally they both find each other. True love wins. Hopefully for ever.
In any case better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all.
I had this book for a long time. Couldn’t read it. Read it and gave four stars.
But now with greater maturity I realise there is more depth to the story than I realised.
Love it.
Highly recommend it.
Interesting thing is, after re-reading it today, I find that no mention is made of Liam’s family or friends. He says he has friends at the beginning but the plot did not show them. We see the brunette employee and a dog picture in his wallet. That’s all.
Cat only had her two parents throughout. Her cousin. The best man Tony. The boss Andrew. The only secondary characters, fleetingly seen.
Author does say our heroine likes to be solitary. To walk alone.
So basically, the whole book centred on the interactions between the hero and the heroine.
The rendezvous they set up. Their accidental meetings.
Yet not once did the tightness of the plot falter. One wanted to know what happens next.
One feels the pain they both feel as Cat struggles with her fear of commitment.
It’s a lovely story.
Don’t know why everyone is dissing it.
So they slept with Each other the day they met. So what? That doesn’t automatically make the book trash.
Do read.
To reviewers who say there was no exchange of ‘I love you’s’ at end. I say only this - They never needed to say it. It was obvious from the very beginning that they fell for each other in a big way. He was all for getting into a relationship. She was too scared to agree. But each meeting shows how much they loved each other. I think the hero was a bit angry with her for not wanting to be with him openly in a relationship. So he purposely withheld information .. but he adores her. It’s very clear. He befriends her mother to find out about her. And to find a method of breaking down her defences. What I understood. I may be wrong.

Not sure how I feel about this one. Very modern, independent h called Cat, desperate to avoid marriage after the disasters she's seen around her not least her own parents. Insists on a no strings, neutral territory affair with Liam. They have a very physical connection, an initial ons at a wedding then further meet ups in a rented flat. They both stick to the rules until he meets her glam actress mother while h is lunching with her. This part was a bit tough to take because from then on the plot implies the H getting it on with h's mother. Obviously this is a massively (and in the final chapter, completely unbelievable) nauseating turnoff event. Hard to come back from despite earlier promise. Anyway it felt like a reversal of usual roles and a (sort of) reclamation of female power until it wasn't. Not a bad read but a bit unsettling.

This one was a bit different from the other novels. We knew pretty much right off the bat that the hero had it bad for the heroine, horribly bad. You can tell in all he does, that he loves her despite her attitude towards him. By the end of the book, I thought it was pretty average though. The only thing that made it any better was the fact the heroine got back what she gave, for a little while at least. That is until she stopped behaving like an immature child.

Mixed feelings here,
I do not like the sex without strings trope. Negative.
Craven shows how a physical only affair, without a relationship can be devastating, as our h realizes she wants and needs more. She feels strong emotional connection to H but it’s based on sex, no other intimacy.
Her mom and dad get back together, remarry. Positive.
We don’t quite see what relationship between H and h’s mom is, suggests it’s friendship and he told her about loving h. Negative.
So I’ll wimp out with a 3.
SC frequently writes characters who fear emotionally intimacy so much they spurn the chance for true happiness.

He confirmed his relationship with her mother and that he intends to marry and have children with her as well, and in the end she says that she does not need any explanations from him because she loves him. I cannot believe that what was between him and her mother was only friendship.
"she felt Liam’s hand brush hers, and suddenly her shaking fingers were entwined with his, so warmly, so tightly, and with such strength that she knew that no words were needed—no explanations and no excuses—because this was how they would spend the rest of their lives." 🫠

(repost from the original entry) Very different from most HP books... one, because for a change, the heroine wasn't the meek-virginal-doormat, Cinderella in the making type of woman. The H had fallen hard for her and I kindda like the storyline where (for a change) the H seem to have deeper feelings for the h; although it was bit of disappointment that shortly after their first rendezvous, their feelings took a 180-degree turn (which probably was precisely the point why the h wouldn't want to get involved in the first place...). Why the H allowed Cat to think that the mother was the OW though (maybe to get to be jealous, but still...) was a bit annoying. The ending also seemed abrupt, it would have been nice if the H and h were allowed to discuss their feelings etc etc. I liked the epilogue. Overall, still a good read.

Great
This was an interesting read. Very well written. The author definitely talented.
The trope is a well known one but with a few twists and turns to make it fresh

It started out so good.
I like the heroine. I could see where her attachment issue came from (what with that kind of parents and extended family!). I enjoy reading her inner thoughts, how she processed what was going on in heart, all through the denial phase and all. The hero was basically a good man with honorable intention. I like them both. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see how they interact beyond the smexy scenes. I didn't get how could the heroine fell in love with the hero, aside from the fact that he was (very) good in bed.
Lastly, I felt that the last third of the story somehow cheapens the whole plot. I was hoping for a beautiful journey of a woman in learning to trust in love, but no, Ms Craven just had to come out with the manipulative tactic by the heroine's mother. Too bad.

I really don’t know why I persevere with this author.
This heroine insisted on a sex only relationship and there was no real sense of a developing relationship between them because we only ever got the heroine’s POV. The writing is excellent but the story lacked credibility. I really wanted to give this more stars but the end just didn't justify such a high rating.
The end sorted nothing out. No “I love you’s." No proper explanation about the relationship with her mother. There were lots of breadcrumbs scattered along the way to tell us what was really going on so we knew Liam had fallen in love with Cat, but never anything explicit. We just had to guess.
I hate stories which use miscommunication and lack of communication as the cause of problems and in this nook, they went on and on and on. So predictable and so boring!
The ending has to be one of the most disappointing I’ve ever read in a Mills and Boon. Simply awful.😞

I'm kinda obsessed with this. It's so different than SC's usual formula. I wonder if she rebelled against her editor or HQN house rules or something. Uhhh, I don't recommend this even though I 4-starred. You know the drill, lol. Read via library.

I enjoyed this read but reduced it to 4 stars simply because I felt there was no reason to throw the mother into the mix between Cat and Liam. But I do concede that it was a useful way for readers to appreciate the full effect of Cat's vulnerability and eventually to like her a little. I liked the way the writer managed to portray that vulnerability, together with a tough personality and sense of humor. For the most part I loved Liam, the signs were all there.The parents had a nice aside factor without taking away from the main characters. The buildup of the volatile nature of the Mother could have been used to pan out the eventual reconciliation between the parents.
