Three and half stars. I think I was just in the right mood for a well written regency romance and this fit the bill. There's only so much you can do with the plots of these novels and I thought this one was at least a bit different. Where it fell down for me for some reason was toward the end. My...
The time is 1765 and the place is England. The woman is getting mugged and the gallant man steps in to help. Sounds about right for a historical romance...and the story goes from there. Time passes, some interesting things happen to both the man and the woman, then they meet again the day that s...
It's been a while since I read anything by Jo Beverley and I had forgotten how good she can be. This is a well written romance with interesting characters and although in some respects it could be described as light hearted it would not fall into the category of badly written sex filled fluff tha...
Tenía expectativas con este libro, quizás por eso me dejó tan vacía. Hacía tiempo que no leía un histórico y cogí este con ganas... pero me dejó como si nada. Se entretiene en descripciones y diálogos totalmente innecesarios y que no tienen sentido. No necesito que cada vez (que son muchas) que d...

As others have noted, this book is nowhere near the quality of the earlier Malloren novels. A couple of the illustrious family members are brought in to keep the claim, "A New Novel in the Malloren World," from being false advertising. This may seem an uncharitable sentiment on my part, sorry.Th...

OK. This was me at various points in the book…when I wasn'tHere's the basic story—maybe you'll see what I mean.Eleanor Chivenham is in a bad situation that just keeps getting worse. Before their parents died, her brother Lionel persuaded them to make him her guardian. She can't claim her inheri...
Jo Beverley: Az eltökélt menyasszony – Kate Dunstable és Charls Tennant 3/5Sok mindent nem lehet írni erről a kisregényről. 88 oldalas, ebből 40 oldal csak arra ment el, hogy Kate hogyan szül. Többet tudtam meg arról, hogyan is zajlik egy szülés, mint a szereplőkről. Kate elég normálisnak tűnik, ...
As the story opens, Lady Mara St. Bride (sister of Simon from The Rogue's Return) is on the run down the worst streets of London, dressed in nothing but her skivvies. Lady Mara has a condition called Black Ademar's Hair. It evidently means that for every inch of hair growth, the sufferer loses an...
A standard Jo Beverley book.Which means dynamic interactions between a number of exciting characters, each as detailed as necessary - but no more than needed. The book does not get bogged down in unnecessary detail, contains an excellent supporting staff, and a goodly dose of suspense. When the s...
Leander, Earl of Charrington, has huge problems. Every woman he meets is madly in love with him. Thing is, he's bummed about it since what wants is a loveless marriage. Judith Rossiter is the widow of a popular poet, who slept in curlers (yes he did)…and wrote all his odes to her, including the ...
This was the first book that I ever read by Jo Beverly. I was looking for a new author who combined romance with good usage of historical fact. I was not disappointed when I read the book through very quickly. The attention to many details of this time in history made it fascinating. I think it i...
This was Jo Beverley's first novel and is a decent start. The mystery plot would have been more interesting if I hadn't read some of the follow-up novels and already knew who the villain was. The denouement was really quick and should have been drawn out more. The romance plot was a bit boring. J...
