Product Description:

A Notorious Gentleman . . .

Sullivan Waring wants only two things: his rightful inheritance, and revenge against the man who stole it from him. By day, Sullivan is the most respected horse breeder in England; by night, he plunders the ton's most opulent homes to reclaim his late mother's beautiful paintings. His quest is going swimmingly . . . until the night he's discovered by Lady Isabel Chalsey. Clad only in a revealing nightdress, she's an entrancingly different kind of plunder, and how can a thief resist stealing a kiss?

A Curious Lady . . .

Surprised by a masked man in her own home, Isabel should be quaking with fear. Instead the sight of the sinfully handsome Sullivan makes her tremble with excitement. Who is this man, and why is he so set on this reckless pursuit? Lady Isabel loves a challenge, and she'll dare anything to uncover Sullivan's secret—but she may instead convince him that she is the greatest prize of all.

- "Pretty Good"
Enjoyable story and plot. However, I really did not lot the heroine that much. She was too high strung and arrogant in the beginning of the story. The hero was a bit weak. I prefer robust and confident heroes. I don't like historical romances that thrive on down grading commoners. However, towards the middle it came to be a pretty good read.

- Off to buy my next Enoch book
Normally, I stick to historical fiction, but these days it's become harder and harder to find good historical fiction with romantic elements or romantic endings. Tracy Chevalier did a good job in A Girl With a Pearl Earring, and I very much enjoyed Michelle Moran's Nefertiti. But now I'm branching out into historical romance, and I am very glad I've decided to do so.

After the Kiss is only my fifth romance novel, and I enjoyed it immensely. The real story begins with Lady Isabel discovering Sullivan Waring in the process of stealing from her home. To keep her from screaming, Sullivan kisses her, but Lady Isabel manages to grab his mask and later discover his identity. The characters are well drawn, the romance is full of tension, and the historical setting is spot-on.

Highly recommended.

- After the Kiss
Sullivan Waring is the son of a nobleman. The fact that he is illegitimate weighs heavily on his mind, especially since he is treated dastardly by the ton. After coming home a hero from the wars, Sully is becoming highly prized as a horse breeder and trainer. What the ton doesn't know is that he is the Mayfair Marauder. By day he breeds horses, by night he goes into the home of some of the richest of society and steals back items that were important to him. It is when he steals from the home of Lady Isabel Chalsey that his life changes.

Isabel Chalsey can't believe that the blackguard known as the Mayfair Marauder had the audacity to kiss her while stealing from her home. Coming upon the masked man in her kitchen, she was startled and intrigued. When she comes face to face the next day with Sullivan Waring, she has no doubts as to whom her midnight thief is and she plans to milk her knowledge ... Read More

- So-so
Uh-oh, this is the second Suzanne Enoch book in a row I've read and not loved (following on the heels of the disappointing Sins of a Duke). I got hooked on Enoch because of her engaging characters, interesting subplots, and surprising resolutions to the hero/heroine conflict. This book had the first two ... but the resolution was fairly dull. I guess I was expecting her usual exciting plot twists there, but the hero/heroine just come together in a rather predictable way. Still it held my interest for most of the book, so I'm hoping for better things from the next two books in the series!
