CANCELLED For the Earl's Pleasure by Anne Mallory

Instructor: Janet Miller/Cricket Starr. For the Earl’s Pleasure is Anne Mallory’s only cross-genre book, a regency novel with paranormal elements. It was nominated for the RITA award in 2010 in the paranormal category and earned a 4.5 star, Top Pick from RT Booklovers Magazine.

   Both of these are richly deserved.

   Unlike many cases where the paranormal element of a cross-genre book is merely to provide a little something extra to the story, the fact that the heroine sees ghosts is a major part of the plot, skillfully woven in. It is the basis for the conflict lying between the hero and heroine who had been childhood friends but are now bitter enemies. It is the reason for them being forced together to solve the mystery behind what has happened to the hero. The fact that the hero is a ghost for the vast majority of the book makes for an interesting dynamic in the love scenes and provides a real threat to the happy ending. How Mallory accomplished this will be analyzed as we deconstruct the story.

Al Lupas isn’t happy when a beautiful upper-class werewolf female in heat struts into his bar looking for her underage sister. Barbara Grisloup is trouble, proving it when a riot breaks out over the right to mate her, although he can’t complain when he ends up taking her to bed instead.

   Barbara needs Al to keep her heat under control while she searches for her sister but there can’t be anything permanent between them. She might be attracted to Al’s “Bad Dog” persona but she knows he isn’t the right wolf for her. Too bad he is so good at scratching that pesky itch she has at the moment although she really wishes he’d stop calling her Babe.

   Lots of werewolf sex along with encounters with vampires, spellcasters, and other parafolk lie in their future—just another busy weekend in Hollywood After Dark.
