A Season for Treason (Deception and Discipline Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars 1,547 ratings

Her mission was simple—blend in, keep small, go unnoticed. But a wicked rake caught her and gave her a choice – accept his discipline or have her secrets dragged into the light.

Debutante Miss Mary Wilson is on a mission to uncover a treasonous plot – all while avoiding her determined aunt’s machinations to find her a husband. Her only clue leads her to the debaucherous secret Society of Sin, led by the devilishly handsome rake, the Marquess of Hartford.

Focused on finding the perfect bride this Season, the Marquess of Hartford is astonished when he stumbles over an intruder to the Society of Sin. How is he the only one who sees her? Why did no one else notice this delectable little miss sneaking through the rooms of debauchery? And could his hunt for a wife be over?

As Mary tumbles into a new world of sin and pleasure, the Marquess is there to protect and guide her, but he doesn’t know her secret mission… and with every secret you keep, a scandal is waiting around the corner.

**This book contains steamy scenes and the firm discipline of a sassy heroine when she requires it.

    Mary, who has been assisting England's spymaster's niece in an investigation, has been following Rex trying to find out who belongs to his secret society that may be a traitor. Rex discovers her at one of his masquerades. He pulls her into his office where he disciplines her. She intrigues him more than any woman he has met. He decides he will court her. Her cousin's, the Hoods, are not happy about it albeit for different reasons. As Mary continues her work, she ends up in a compromising situation with Rex who then offers for her hand. They marry then Rex discovers her work. Will he allow her to continue in her spy work? Will Mary become a member of Rex's secret society? Will their marriage work?

    I enjoyed this book. I wanted to know what happened between Mary and Rex. I expected Rex's feelings to change as he fell in love with Mary. He was jealous and insecure. Rex opens the erotic world to Mary. I just wish that Rex would have brought Mary more into his secret society rather than become a reformed rake. I liked that Mary could tame Rex and that she has a secret side that Rex picked up on. Both of them are observant.

    The story was good. There are characters whose stories I would also like to read. Some I know I will. Others I'm not so sure I will. I look forward to the next book.

    A good spy story. I really like Evie's personality and look forward to reading her story. I guess she'll be last to pair off. I really don't mind the BDSM but I do object to normalizing any acts which leave marks which last more than 24 hours. That puts it into abuse IMO. But if it doesn't bother you, you'll probably like this book.

    Golden Angel writes another book I just couldn't put down. Mary and Michael/Rex share a passion that Golden Angel puts in words that draws me in and keeps me turning pages. I loved the storyline and the characters, it all fit together to create this great story. Now I must get the next book in this series.

    I enjoyed this story. Although it sometimes felt improbable or juvenile, it was mostly fun and silly. The steamy bits were very well written, although the story as a whole was hard to follow. There are an awful lot of side characters who come in and out of the story, and are hard to remember. Especially since so many of them had names that started with a C. That being said, I am glad I read it, and I would recommend it to my kinky friends.

    The heroine, Miss Mary Wilson, is a spy for England's spymaster, who sends her to infiltrate a secret society of debauched aristocrats led by the Marquess of Hartford, Rex. However, Mary soon finds herself drawn to Rex, who is also intrigued by her presence and her secrets. As they embark on a courtship that is both scandalous and dangerous, they must also uncover a treasonous plot that threatens the crown and their lives.

    I enjoyed this book very much, as it was well-written, engaging, and entertaining. The characters were likable and had great chemistry, and a plot gave the reader intrigue, passion and humor. The book also had some steamy scenes and some spanking scenes that added spice to the romance. I would recommend this book to fans of historical romance who like a bit of mystery and adventure.

    MF, no cheating/sharing, med-high heat, HEA
    Wow, I loved this story! Not only was the storyline engaging and the characters vivid and interesting, for me it had just the right amount of BDSM between the H & h! I do not care for the sadism aspect of BDSM, preferring it stay light with spankings, etc. I also do not care for the Sir/Master thing, and that was never introduced in this - which was super since it really takes away from the connection between the H & h for me personally. I was worried about sharing/cheating going in, but the H, even though he was the King of The Society of Sin and had always had those kinks, once he started to fall for the h, he lost interest in others and wouldn't even entertain the idea of sharing!

    Although you can read the series A Season for Treason as a standalone, I highly recommend reading the Domestic Discipline and Bridal Discipline series first. Indeed, many characters both on and off screen mentioned in A Season for Treason: Book 1 were central characters in the Bridal Discipline series. It is during Gabrielle's Discipline we first learn about our heroine Mary Wilson and later in the series our hero, Rex makes several brief appearances. So when A Season for Treason came out I was thrilled to find Rex and Mary have their own story!

    Hands-down, Rex is my favorite hero in the entire A Season for Treason series. He has a fabulous personality. He's intelligent, confident, witty and loves our heroine, On a similar note, Mary is my favorite heroine of the series. She's intelligent, funny, witty and loves our hero. She has a penchant for getting in over her head when she is helping her friends try to find who is behind the treasonous plot to assassinate the Duke of York.

    There is Society and The Society. The latter is a (not-so) secret society where members partake in more lascivious events than the ton has to offer. Steam level 4.

    As always, I try to keep my reviews as spoiler free as possible. However, I will say I found it adorable he noticed Mary's hair color had changed from one season to the next. Mary was nary a wallflower to Rex as he not only noticed her the previous season but he remembered her. There are several funny moments involving Rex and Mary at various balls during their short courtship. And the rest is just pure gold! I've already re-read this novel a few times and it endears itself to me more each time. I highly recommend A Season for Treason: Book 1.

    Una historia que pintaba bastante bien porque tenemos dos hilos en la historia, el espionaje y la sociedad secreta que queda prácticamente de lado y que acaba centrándose únicamente en los azotes que vuelan a diestro siniestro.

    Mary ist als Debütantin regelrecht unsichtbar. Die Junge Dame ist in der Lage, sich selbst völlig natürlich unscheinbar zu machen. Damit ist sie für ihre Freundin, die Nichte des Oberhaupts des Geheimdienstes seiner Majestät, die ideale Person dem berüchtigten Lord Harthford und seiner geheimen „Gesellschaft der Sünden“ nachzuspionieren. Gemeinsam mit ihren Freundinnen wollen die jungen Damen auf eigene Faust einer Verschwörung gegen die Krone auf den Grund gehen… wenn da nicht die Kleinigkeit wäre, dass Mary eigentlich ihre 2. Saison in London verbringt um einen Ehemann zu finden… keine gute Voraussetzung, um unscheinbar zu sein…
