Reviews on "The Phoenix" 

 

"Maria Desrosiers does an excellent job keeping the reader hooked as the tension builds. Not only is the story filled with the romance between Phoenix and Dragon, but Desrosiers throws in action-packed fight scenes on the pirate ships, hidden inheritance, and a little mystery!—Edee Wilcox Saved Times Three Wings ePress, Inc.

"Both Ava and Justin will capture your interest and your heart. Their subterfuge and their troublemaking family create a story filled with humor, malice, adventure and an impossible love. An excellent read.

"I can not say enough good about this story filled with action, intrigue, and suspense. Each character has secrets, desires and flaws that leave you breathless. The plot twists and turns. As soon as you think you have it all figured out… you don’t. I look forward to many more books from Maria Desrosiers.

"Maria Desrosiers The Phoenix is a story of romance, passion and deception set in 1789 and followes Lady Aveline DeLarue and Duke of Wintersong, Justin Montegry, both of London.

Lady Aveline, or Ava, and Justin enter into a marriage of convenience. Ava at her brothers insistance and Justin because it is a stipulation in his inheritance. They neither love or even like each other but both have their own reasons for accepting a loveless marriage. Though the two enter into a marriage they are strangers to each other and neither is quite who they appear to be.

Maria Desrosier's descriptive prose are very detailed and her characters are three dimensional. The story moves along nicely as they develop and their motives become clear and understood. The dialogue is witty and sharp.
