The Marquess Who Loved Me was a lovely read. Though there were some elements that I didn't like, I definitely enjoyed this book.
Let me just get the bad over with.
I didn't like Ellie. I though she was, excuse my language, a bitch. She could just me so mean. Years ago, she broke off her engagement with Nick so that she could marry his cousin, a marquess, in order to please her father. But, during the book, she was angry with Nick for some unfathomable reason. Right from the beginning, she acted as...more

The dress Nick had sent wasn’t a
dress — it was a fitted bodice and a floor-length skirt as
seductive as anything she had seen in paintings of the East.
The skirt fastened with a drawstring, the bodice with little
hooks down the front
—She didn’t break eye contact as she walked toward
him —He leaned back and clasped his hands behind his
head. “If you paint yourself looking exactly as you do now,
I’ll give you a hundred pounds.”
Yes, she saw lust there — saw how
his eyes flickered to her hips, then to wh...more

I really love the stories of the muses of Mayfair! And now I'm looking forward to the one with Prudence because it is time!! Ellie and Nicholas were two strong characters, but the love they share is so big that in the end they can survive the pain they gave to each other. Love conquers all and this is good because that was exactly what I was expecting, but the road was hard and the feelings so deep and mixed that till the end the tension was high.

I love a good historical and this one was great!
In this third installment of the Muses of Mayfair series, Sara Ramsey introduces her readers to the life of Ellie Claiborne (a fiery heroine the way I like them) and Nicholas Claiborne (an irresistible bad boy).
Ellie is a merry widow and she's gone on about her life any way that pleases her. She doesn't care whatever the rules are, and were she not the way she is, she'd be an outcast. But, no. Not this Ellie. The ton gasps at her antics but there...more

I had a hard time getting into this story. The characters never really clicked for me and Ellie was just not a likable character. There seems to be some anger in her towards Nick when she is the one who ditched him and he should be the one that is mad. It seems so weird the way this story is written. Everything is backwards. The people who are mad at Nick should be mad at Ellie. The storyline of the attempted murder was so hidden it was non-existent. Whil...more

The new marquess is her first lover – the man whose sculpted body and sardonic grin haunt her every time she picks up her paintbrush. If he ever returns to claim his inheritance, her heart won’t survive seeing him again.

Great read. Loved Ellie's story! I'm so glad that she and Nick were finally able to move beyond their past and find the love they both had buried deep inside. I was sad when it was over because I wanted more. I really wanted to know all the things Nick bought for her in India and a scene of Ellie painting Nick now would have been awesome!

I won this through Goodreads first reads.
I really wish I knew about this series sooner. As soon as I started reading I wasnt able to put it down. I felt it was a good story line, fast paced and fully enjoyable. I look forward to catching up with the first two book and rereading this one.
I am very pleased that I was given this opportunity to this awesome book.
