My Lady Compelled -- 5-Star Review
This is the story of Drummond Penhurst, Duke of Kittridge and Gabriella St. John. They have a past together but she chose another. Now her husband, believing her barren, has put her up for sale. Drummond buys her because she's the woman he's wanted for 25 years.
Shirl Anders has this fabulous way of capturing the foreplay, the actual act of sex, and the aftermath, with the most incredible descriptions and emotions. I am in awe of her writing style. This is book one in a five book series and it was fantastic! This group of 5 ex-spies, called the Archangels, start out sitting around discussing their lives and the type of women and love they want, now that they are no longer spies working for the crown. I loved book one and I can't wait to read more.
My Lady Enslaved -- 4.5-Star Review
They were betrayed on their last mission, which left Harrison Ravenscar, the Earl of Ravenscar, with acid burns on his hands and damage to his voice from the toxic fumes. Harrison believes Lia Sang was the betrayer and he wants revenge. He kidnaps her to make her his sexual slave but is it really Lia he kidnaps or is it her twin, Chloe?
This is the second book and almost everything about this book was perfect, except for the endearment used by Harrison. Calling Chloe "baby girl" just didn't seem to fit the era of this story and every time I read it, it threw me off a little. There were moments I started to think that the things he was doing to her were questionable but she seemed to thrive on his kind of kink. Because it was consensual, it made it acceptable. He thought he was torturing her and she was loving every minute of it. This was another fantastic book in this My Lady Series.
My Lady Captive -- 4.5 Star Review
This is the story of Wyndham the Baron of Hawkenge and Orelan Becou, stepdaughter to the late French Ambassador to Spain. He remembers the beautiful 16 yr old who helped them with a case and now 5 years later Wyndham must rescue Orelan from that same mutual enemy by any means necessary.
The love this man must feel for this woman is breathtaking. The lengths they both go through to protect each other is amazing. Again, the only problem I have is with the endearments used by Wyndham. Calling your woman "baby love" just doesn't fit the era they're in and again, throws me off when I read it. Still looking forward to the next book in this series.
My Lady Taken -- 5-Star Review
Radford the Duke of Sutherlin and Nia O'Shea are the stars of this tale and what a clever tale it is! "Someone" is paying Nia O'Shea to seduce Radford. Nia was doing her job and more until Radford found out that she was getting paid to be with him. You'll never guess who set up this elaborate scheme.
Fantastic story line! The mystery, intrigue, the chase, and the seduction are awesome. What makes this and the other books in this series, so amazing is that the men are all titled but not worried about prim and proper women. They are all falling for ordinary women and some with scandalous backgrounds. I am loving every minute of this wonderful series!
My Lady Enthralled -- 3.5 Star Review
The characters in this fifth book in the My Lady Series are Lord Saxonhurst, Marquess of Hartley and Lady Joelle Zurka. Both have fallen victim to a sexually depraved cult. Used and abused, they find strength to help each other and feelings start to blossom. Together they work to find a way out before their situations become deadly.
The story line is good but love blossoms too quickly to be believable. The end came upon me so fast and I wasn't ready for that either. It just seemed to be missing a lot of filler story. I was still entranced throughout the entire book and I can't wait to read the final book in this amazing series.

The stories about ex-spies and their search for love with erotic intensity is a great concept. The sex is from Hot to implausible. Female characters are sympathetic, as are the men.
The huge problem for me was the WRITING and lack of EDITING. They were uniformly stupidly written and had about 27 extra commas per page. The language and historical detail were very poorly done. Why can we have a really sexy tale that is also well written and edited and researched?
These problems were so distracting that I am tempted not to read the last in the series, which is sold separately, but I probably will--just to see how the good guys defeat the bad guys, and to see the Scotsman get his romance.
