Not so bad!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Blackjacks Lady (Paperback)
I did not not find the book as bad as the other two reveiwers. If it is a period piece and written true to form, at the time the men wear, rakes, rouges, and scoundrels. Which this main character is. I did not have problems following the sub-plots and found this book lightly entertaining.

Not worth it,
This review is from: Blackjacks Lady (Paperback)
First of all, I think the writer attempted to create a scenario full of intrigue but failed miserably. There are too many unnecessary characters that the whole thing seemed messy and confusing. To make matters worse, their roles are overlapping one another so much that they actually obscure that of the main characters. In a story, the roles of other characters should be 'muted' or downplayed a little bit so as not to shadow the hero and heroin. And secondly, the hero is a stupid, aimless man, who :1) seeks respectability by thinking of marrying a socialite (not very macho, I must say. Rather sissy of him) 2) Bedded the supposed-to-be mistress of his old-friend due to revenge. His 'friend' supposedly murdered the hero's fiance. After all that the hero suddenly realised that he actually didn't love his fiance and she's better off dead (Whatta man!! Clap clap clap) 3) Can't really make up his mind about something. And to think the heroine still wants him...jeez, way to go, sister!! All in all, I thank God I only BORROWED this book from a friend. Be warned, this book is DEFINITELY NOT worth your time and money.

She's a fool; he's a jerk. Not very romantic.,

This review is from: Blackjacks Lady (Paperback)
Reid Sinclaire is a married man who's wanted for murdering his wife's lover. He sleeps with Samantha to get revenge on Cord Rydelle, the man he blames for his fiancee's death and who he believes is Samantha's lover. You think perhaps he's not good hero material for a romance novel? And I haven't even mentioned that he starts courting Samantha's silly sister Clarissa (not knowing they're sisters) with an eye to marrying her for respectability.With such a hero, the last thing this book needs is a convoluted plot, full of so many subplots and backstory it's impossible to keep them all straight. I found myself skimming through most of this book, wishing I hadn't paid good money for it. The heroine, although she shows she has a good heart in sacrificing herself for her sister's happiness, seems to fall for men like Reid in spite of past experience; thus, I really could not like her very much either. I'm not often so critical, but I feel cheated. I don't buy romances to read about lying, cheating men and the women they con into loving them.
