Fans of Ms. Jeffries' ROYAL BROTHERHOOD SERIES have been waiting for the story of Gavin Byrne, one of three half-brothers who are the sons of England's Prince Regent. These half-noble brothers have gotten into all types of scrapes, known countrywide as notorious rogues-in their personal lives as much as their professional ones. The series began with Alexander Black, Earl of Iversley, in the book IN THE PRINCE'S BED. Second brother Marcus North, Viscount Draker, had his story told in TO PLEASURE A PRINCE. Now comes Gavin Byrne's chance to tell his story with ONE NIGHT WITH A PRINCE.
Gavin, the well-known-and sometimes despised-owner of the Blue Swan Men's club, a gaming house, sets out to exact revenge. As young, royal, rash princes seem inclined to do, Gavin takes advantage of the opportunity to enlist the aid of a woman. Lady Christabel, Marchioness of Haversham, is a widow on a mission to rescue letters that could destroy both her father and Prince Regent. She agrees to do the unthinkable-pose as Gavin's mistress in order to save her family's reputation, and that of the Prince.
The plot of ONE NIGHT WITH A PRINCE gets complicated-Gavin, for example, was the one who came to collect Christabel's late husband's debt, and got shot at for his efforts. Christabel wants the secret letters to keep her father from being sent to the gallows-Gavin wants them because he hates his biological father, Prince Regent, and resents the way he turned his mother away.
When Alexander and Marcus, Gavin's half-brothers, urge him to go into alliance with Christabel, he's wary. Once he decides to do so, his main goal-aside from ruining his father-is to get the proper Lady Christabel into his bed. This heroine is no fainting spinster, however, and the tables are soon turned. When all is said and done, which will Gavin Byrne find more important-the destruction of the man he's hated all of his life, or the safety of the woman he's come to love?
ONE NIGHT WITH A PRINCE is historical romance at its best. Engaging characters, attention to historical detail, and humorous dialogue will keep you reading long into the night. I'm sorry to see this trilogy end, but I'm sure Ms. Jeffries has something else planned for our reading pleasure in the near future.

Another great one by jeffries that keeps you laughing till the end. Worth the read.
Excellent Regency romance.
Even with it being the last in the trilogy, this was the first one I picked up -- also my first Sabrina Jeffries novel -- and it has remained my favorite. Nothing beats Gavin and Christabel... although I love her School for Heiresses series too :) Such a beautiful storyteller.

This was interesting and fun. The characters were enjoyable.
Part of a romance trilogy about 3 of "Prinny's" the Prince of Wales illegitimate sons. Good read.
I was impressed with this series--Jeffries first for Pocket.
Bk 3 in the Royal Brotherhood Series, Gavin Bryne and Cristabel story. As an add-on "Only A Duke Will Do" is the story of Drakers Sister
The Lady Christabel requires the services of a very bad (as in reputation) man in order snatch back some damaging letters. What she does not know is that he has his own agenda!

Third in the series. Proper Lady Christabel is desperate to regain some letters that could destroy her. So desperate, that she agrees to pretend to be the mistress of gaming club owner Gavin Byrne to accompany him to a scandalous house party where she can reclaim them.
It was good. The problem that brought the couple together was more plausible than in many romances so that increased my pleasure in the book. Altogether it was a fun read.
Sabrina Jeffries is always on my must read list

Proper Lady Christabel, the Marchioness of Haversham, is desperate to regain some letters that could destroy her -- so desperate that she pretends to be the mistress of notorious gaming-club owner Gavin Byrne to accompany him to a scandalous house party where she can reclaim them. But when she agreed to let Byrne coach her on how a true mistress behaves, she never suspected how very...persuasive his wicked lessons would be.
Gavin is secretly determined to find the letters himself and use them for revenge against the noble sire who abandoned him to grow up in London's worst slums. He's also delighted at how very successful his "mistress lessons" are: it won't be long before the luscious young widow is in his bed. But when Christabel catches Gavin in his own seductive net, he faces a difficult choice: to wreak the vengeance he's planned all his life, or to protect the woman he may -- to his own astonishment -- need more than revenge.
