Connie Brockway "draws readers into the breathtaking love story of a dashing Scotsman who is duty bound to protect the one woman who incites in him a wild passion. How exactly can he save her from himself?" By day, celebrated beauty Helena Nash works as a proper companion to one of London's most disagreeable ladies. By night she acts as an illicit messenger between two separated lovers. Masked and disguised, she falls into the path of a shadowy stalker. Fearing for her safety but unwilling to halt her nocturnal forays, Helena seeks out Ramsey Munro -- one of three men who pledged years earlier to serve her family in times of need. Handsome and elusive, the notorious Scotsman is London's most accomplished swordsman and represents everything Helena wants but can't have -- freedom, adventure, and passion. Now she demands that he teach her his formidable skills, a commission that may prove cool, collected Helena's undoing. For Ramsey has seen through her disguise...and soon vows to teach her both the way of the sword and the deliciously wicked pleasures of the flesh.

From Publishers Weekly
Brockway's uneven second Regency in her Rose Hunters trilogy (after My Seduction) suffers from a plot whose twists too often come from nowhere, but the attraction between Miss Helena Nash, lady's companion, and Ramsey Munro, swordsman extraordinaire, has an undeniable appeal. Helena, sister to Kate (introduced in the previous book), finds herself pressed into service as a go-between for Flora, the addlepated niece of Helena's employer, and Oswald, a bankrupt gambler who clandestinely married Flora despite being unable to keep her in the style to which she's accustomed. Helena passes notes between the lovers, secretly relishing the opportunity to drop her icily correct demeanor for a bit of adventure. When she runs into trouble on a dark walk at Vauxhall, Ramsey steps in to rescue the maiden in disguise. Helena's determination to help the irritatingly stupid Flora and Oswald grows dull quickly; scenes in Ramsey's fencing salle are far more engaging. Despite the sexual tension between hero and heroine, the love scenes are marred by decidedly unsexy lines like, "He closed his eyes and mated her with his tongue" or "[she paused] at his flat, leathery male nipple to touch her tongue experimentally to the hard kernel at its center." Brockway has many followers, and the trilogy is attractively packaged thus far, but the pleasure promised in this novel's title is slight indeed.

From Booklist
After their family's fall in fortune sends the three Nash sisters in different directions, Helena Nash becomes a companion to Lady Alfreda Tilpot. Working for one of the ton's most demanding harridans is a constant exercise in maintaining her composure, but Helena stays the course to play cupid between Lady Tilpot's sweet niece, Flora, and the love-struck but feckless Oswald Goodwin. While delivering a message between the young lovers, Helena encounters rakish, sexy-as-sin Ramsey Munro. Four years earlier, Ramsey, now one of London's most celebrated swordsmen, had been one of three young gentlemen who promised to come to the aid of the Nash sisters. At first Helena tries to pretend to be someone else, but when her fears that she is being stalked become a reality, she must turn to the one man she knows can keep her safe. The verbal fencing that goes on between the heroine and hero in RITA Award-winning Brockway's newest addition to her Rose Hunters trilogy is just one of the many delights in this luscious historical. Rich in subtle characterization, expertly spiced with danger, and generously imbued with a rapier sharp sense of wit, My Pleasure is simply superb. John Charles

Couldn't believe it!!!
By Choua Xiong
I almost skipped this book, but I decided that since I read the first and last books of this trilogy that I might as well finish the whole thing... So I bought this book, and I don't regret buying it... It was so much better than what I thought and what other readers gave credit for... Ram was such a great hero, and the way Brockway described him, made my knees weak... I sigh everytime I think about him... Helena was a headstrong heroine and an admirable one... She showed her acquaintances that she could be trusted, even though her secret gave Ram the wrong idea, and she sacrificed almost everything for them, even though they were annoying at times, and she wanted nothing more than to hit them both over the head for being fools... And the result of the two coming together was perfect and I really loved this book, even though it took me more than a day to finish... It was sweet in a unique way... I really love this trilogy...

started out great, ended up messy
By Gialdini
As much as it pains me to write this, My Pleasure was a sloppy mess of implausibility, pointless subterfuge and enough misunderstandings to make my teeth gnash. I had trouble believing I was reading one of Brockway's books and am at a loss. I think it had the makings of an interesting story, and indeed my attention was engrossed for a while - even though I had to take much of the plot elements with a grain of salt (and basically pretend they didn't exist so that I could enjoy myself - I should have known that such a recourse could only portend further horrors). I think my enjoyment was made possible by the prose style, which tricked me into liking the book for a while. But even that couldn't carry this book much farther than a few chapters.
There was so much wrong with My Pleasure that I don't know where to start. I guess the author was trying to insert some levity into a series that started out dramatic and brooding with My Seduction, and so to that end we have Flora and her "Ossie" - two absurd people who infect the heroine, Helena Nash, with their silliness when she allows herself to become embroiled in their clandestine love affair. Helena Nash is the paid companion to a mean old dowager, Lady Tilpot, and Flora is said lady's daughter. Helena's reasons for helping Flora are flimsy - some rot about transferring the love and help she can't give to her sister onto the hapless, flighty Flora. If this weren't enough, the hair brained scheme she cooks up entails her disguising herself as a page boy and essaying out to Vauxhall and bacchanals and dark alleyways in search of Ossie (all, of course, dangerous, scary places that positively broadcast a plea for her to be jumped by gangs of brutish, randy bad guys then saved by our oh so convenient, i.e. stalkerish hero). These foolish trips into London don't seem to accomplish much - she passes some notes, rarely ever finds Ossie, and, as mentioned before, runs into a lot of trouble and creates a lot of confusion instead. All this I could overlook or ignore for a bit. In the beginning, even if Helena's charade was just an excuse to get the hero and heroine together, their encounters were interesting and entertaining.
But after a while the story unravels completely, the characters' interactions seem disjointed, their relationships mundane and underdeveloped. I finally threw up my hands and gave up on the book after Helena goes to the hero, Ramsey Munroe, for fencing lessons. Her intelligence seemed to hemorrhage from her at an alarming rate as the story progressed. She's afraid of someone who's stalking and threatening her, and so she wants to learn some self defense. I wish for once I could find a heroine who's given the opportunity to be active and strong, a true fighter, without the pretense and farce. Or just don't try it all and find other ways to make her strong. Of course she can't ask Ramsey to protect her, because that would make sense, and because she has to be all secretive and "honorable" to protect Flora and Ossie. Part of this deceit is her pretending she's someone else when Ramsey comes upon her on one of her midnight escapades. During the fencing lessons she's Helena Nash. In her page boy costume she's "Corie." The double identity thing with Helena didn't work at all. It wasn't carried through well or consistently, and just seemed tacked on and silly - particularly since Ramsey knew it was Helena all along. I liked Helena at first - she's had to create a facade of icy calm for self preservation, dependent upon the browbeating Lady Tilpot. But her increasingly erratic behavior stripped her of any credible personality and left me confused and dismayed to be confronted with such a travesty of a romance. There was just no room for real emotion or the development of a relationship in this book, with its ridiculous twists and turns, ploys, pretenses, and cliches. I didn't believe in their love for a second - and even worse (or more hilariously, depending on your persective), until almost the end of the book, neither of the protagonists believed in the other's love either.
As for the hero, I liked him at first as well. He's a fencing master, on the outskirts of society, sophisticated, formiddable, and devoted to the heroine he's sworn to protect. The human equivalent of a rapier in personality and grace of form I guess - Brockway carried the analogy well and wove the practices and discipline of the sport into his character. But Ramsey, though only slightly better than Helena in that he seemed relatively sane, ended up falling flat as well - how could he not when caught in such a nonsensical plot and shackled with a heroine who was acting so stupidly? Nor did Ramsey have any of the passion and fire, the drive and depth that I found in Kit MacNeill, the hero of the previous book. In My Seduction, the history of the brotherhood from St. Brides, the tragedy that befalls them is front and center for the plot and characters, the background that gives the story color and feeling. It's dealt with beautifully and creates an atmosphere that is evocative and stirring and that is entirely absent from My Pleasure. I wish I could forget I ever came across this book - I probably and thankfully will, considering it is memorable only as the first book by this author that I didn't like - hate, after all, is such a strong word.

A Book That Breaks The Mold
By Kelin C. Mcclanahan
I was a huge fan of the first Rose Hunter installment. In fact, "My Seduction" was my first ever Connie Brockway book. I fell in love with her writing ability and was swept away with the wonderful story of the three chivalrous men bound by their honor to do a good deed for the Nash family. As I read, I remember sitting there thinking to myself, "Heroes just don't get much better than Kit."
HA!
H-e-l-l-o Ram Munro!
Ms. Brockway does an upstanding and admirable job of developing a romance between Ramsey and Helena, one that is both realistic and emotionally deep. I have to admit that in reading so many romance books, I've grown tired of the similar stereotypical and categorical plot twists and cliches that often occur in order to propel a story. "My Pleasure" was a refreshing escape from that and left me smiling long after I read the last page. (And what a last page it was.)
Bravo, Ms. Brockway.
