Visions of Pleasure
Bastion Niall Dalais Guaire, 4th Count of lugar de sueño, Spain has been plagued with visions since his youth. He is drawn to archaeology and antiquities because when he holds a bone and sees a horrible vision he doesn’t have to tell the person what is to come, he can only see what has been. Now that his brother the 3rd Count passes away, Bastion is left with a young nephew and no connection to in own history or his special gift.
The Honorable Aisling Lightowler needs a miracle. Her family’s reputation is being threatened by a local family with grave accusations about something that happened almost 100 years ago, with no living witnesses to help sort it out. She reads about Bastion’s great finds and doesn’t care what it takes she hounds him from across a continent until he relents and appears on her doorstep.
Bastion agrees to help Aisling because from the first letter he received from her, he has been having visions. Visons of them together and also a disturbing feeling that the secret to his own history lies close by. When he begins to dig deeper into the claims, he finds that saving the family’s reputation may not be as simple as digging up some bones. All the while trying to keep his attraction for the lovely Aisling at bay, which he begins to realize is harder than stopping his visions.
Can he save a family’s reputation, clear a dead woman’s name, find where he belongs in his own family and convince the woman he loved before he left Spain that she wants to be connected to a broken, lonely man who just wants to belong?

What a great book and story , really enjoyed the tension and the whole plot .
The two mains Bastien and Aisling were perfect , a wonderful balance in their natures and characters.
The plot was as believable as you can get when dealing with a seer in a story , and the sisters were a great addition, I’d love to see a series and follow their story to it conclusion.

Visions of Pleasure by Clair Brett is a very charming read. I enjoyed the storyline and how everything came together. I am always up for reading a historical romance that has a supernatural side to it. It makes for a fun and interesting read. The story was easy to follow, and flowed nicely. There was no holes and it was unpredictable. The hero and heroine were perfect for each other. This is the first time I’ve read anything by this author and I’ll definitely be reading more!

I’m really enjoying the Enduring Legacy series & whilst the stories can be read by themselves together they mesh so well together & I’m left eagerly awaiting the next instalment each Tuesday plus I’m introduced to new authors so my TBR list just grows & grows. This is the first story I’ve read by the author & I thoroughly enjoyed Bastion & Aislings’ story but it was so much more than a romance there was the Lightowler name to clear & also Bastion found out about his ancestors. These all added to an engaging riveting read that I read in under a day, the characters were well fleshed & the pace was very good & didn’t lag at all. I look forward to reading more from the author & more in the series.
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

What would you do if you had visions when you held an old vase or a bone? Bastion had been having visions since he was young and had always been interested in archaeology and antiquities. The problem is he can only see what happened in the past but cannot read into the future.
Aisling on the other hand, needs desperately to know what happened over 100 yrs ago to save her family's reputation. She contacts Bastion to help her solve the past accusation and he relents and comes to help her.
What he finds and the visions he is having about him and Aisling together come as a surprise. This story held me in its grip until the last page. The main characters and the secondary characters are well defined and I had to hold my breath at times to see what would happen.
This story is part of the Enduring Legacy series but can be read as a standalone. But trust me you will want to read them all. This is the first book by this author I have read but hope to read more in the future!

There is nothing better than a romance that has a bit of mystery, visions and love. That is what I found in Visions of Pleasure, book 3 of the Enduring Legacy series by Clair Brett. I found this story to be original and creative. Clair’s characters, Bastion and Aisling, come alive and are truly a delight. Her regency descriptions are so detailed that you find yourself going back in time and is only a tad steamy. Though in a series, Visions of Pleasure can be read as a stand alone. This story has visions, revenge, evil, kindness, sister love, understanding, caring, schemes, new friendships, an Irish Wolf Hound named Bennette, scandal, threats, love and so much more. I highly recommend you read this book. I know you will enjoy it as much as I did.

A Joy To Read!
Bastion is a Spanish Count who has visions of the past when he touches objects and Aisling needs his help to solve a mystery which is affecting the well being of her family.
What I really didn't expect at all was his visions of Aisling projecting their future. Wow! Can you imagine having that ability!
All of the characters in this beautiful story are nicely defined and easy to picture and I loved Aisling's strength of character and that she could also have doubts and own them. She was just so lovely - she knew what she wanted and then set out to get it.
This first book in the series was pure entertainment and a joy to read!

This was a lovely read by Clair Brett. It had romance, mystery, drama and a bit of supernatural intrigue. I enjoyed the story and I’m sure you will too. I recommend this book if you love Regency romances with a bit more thrown in.

First time reading a book by this author and I must say I was pleasantly surprised:) It's well written and the story held my interest throughout. Aisling and Bastion make a wonderful couple and it was fun to read how their romance developed amidst intrigue and mystery. Well done!!

This is a book in the Enduring Legacy series. It can be read alone, or you could read the whole series, which is what I am doing. I really enjoyed this story. The H and I were delightful. I loved her family. I am hoping they will get their own story some day.
