Publisher Description
The scandalous women of the USA Today bestselling author Scarlett Peckham’s Society of Sirens are back with the final stage in their fight for female rights—and this time the battle is to be waged in bed…
She’s the most infamous harlot in London…and she’s up for auction.
Thaïs Magadalene is a legend. The nation’s most notorious courtesan, she sells herself once a week, for one night only, and never to the same patron twice. Until now. To raise money for the cause of women’s rights, she has auctioned herself off for one month as mistress to the highest bidder.
But the winner is not who he seems.
Lord Alastair Eden is an earl, a radical politician, and a perfectionist in all things—except one. His confidence belies an unexpected secret: he doesn’t know how to please a woman in bed. He’s determined to change that before he marries. And who could be better than the most skilled lover in the country to teach him?
And love is never for sale.
Thaïs dreams of finding a man who will love her unconditionally, never mind her past and reputation. Eden dreams of finding a perfectly bred young lady to be his wife and helpmeet. But when a steamy month in the countryside breeds a connection both in and out of the bedchamber, the two of them must decide how much can be sacrificed for love—one’s dreams, or one’s reputation.
Customer Reviews
Sweet and fun
“The Mistress Experience” was my first Scarlett Peckham experience! This is the third of the Society of Sirens series and I can’t wait to read more of her books.
Perfectionist Lord Alastair Eden wants to perfect his bedroom skills before marrying so he wins a charity auction. Thais Magadalene was the skilled courtesan and teacher he needed.
I enjoy different social class individuals coming together. I was pleasantly surprised that they respected each other through their mutual desire for human rights and that Alastair didn’t treat her as if he was better. The book mentioned they met in a previous book so of course I need to read about their platonic meet-cute.
If you enjoy love lesson stories with the inevitable slow burn, then this is one to read. Alastair seemed hopeless however the reason behind his lack of improvement was actually sweet. The way he admired Thais and vice versa kept a smile on my face.
I never wanted this book to end thus taking my time to finish. There was so much respect between the two characters, Alastair wanted to make things right so badly, and Thais having a big heart that I love this book simply for how much I wanted the best for the main characters as individuals and as a couple. I highly recommend this book!
