Read a very good book yesterday, started it around noon and finished about 9:00PM. It was my first Debra Mullin's book, THREE NIGHTS...

Three Nights of Passion...
With a turn of the cards, her father is ruined--and innocent Aveline Stoddard is lost. To honor the gambling debt, she agrees to submit herself for three nights to Lucien DuFeron's every desire, three nights of blistering sensuality and unparalleled ecstasy in the arms of the dashing, dark rogue they call "Lucifer." But the time passes all too quickly...and when the debt is paid, the handsome devil vanishes.

An eternity of desire
Treachery delivered Lucien into the hands of evil brigands. Now five years after his abduction and imprisonment he has returned to London, searching for the enemy responsible--and finding instead the beauty who still haunts his dreams. Aveline has grown more alluring since those unforgettable nights when she melted beneath his touch. Yet Lucien's need for vengeance *must* be satisfied. If the trail leads to someone close to Aveline, will it destroy forever the one love powerful enough to free his tormented heart?

My Thoughts:
Lucien is convinced Aveline's father put him on a ship where he lived in hell for five years. Aveline is convinced her father is innocent but they can't question him because he is in a vegetated state.

What I liked about the book is they talked....they worked out solutions to who had separated them.
I enjoyed Lucien learning to play with his young daughter, Chole. When he found out she had tea parties he thought he should stop them because in his childhood his father didn't allow playing. Aveline and Chloe taught him how to play.

Ms. Mullin's kept me confused to who the culprit was till the last few chapters, she kept give clues and then they turn out not to be a clue. Good work. I rated THREE NIGHTS... B+ Hot
