5.0 out of 5 stars A romance I read again and again, Dec 14 2003

By

kalara (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Camillas Fate (Paperback)

This is my very favorite book -- and I've read thousands! The hero is someone you'll fall for and never forget -- a tender, kind yet dangerous man. The heroine is loving and brave and true. The story is beautiful on so many levels, with twists and turns, a host of memorable and well-drawn characters and a wonderful humor. I read this one every so often and it reminds me that good boooks can let you lose yourself in a different world.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the Best, Not the Worst, April 27 2001

This review is from: Camillas Fate (Paperback)

This book was near the point when I began to dislike Landsdowne's books, so I realize that those who love other Landsdowne's may like this one. Still...

I did not care very much for this book even while I liked Mutiny at Almacks and Duke's Dilemma, for example. I have no interest in watching any character (but especially male for some reason) bumble around in society, being ever so handsome (if male) in a rustic sort of way, but a complete baby with manners, etc. Bleh! Sorry, but I like polished heros.

I didn't really like Camilla either. I don't know why, but I felt almost no affection/sympathy for her. She wasn't lively enough-not counting being the typical helps and defends unfortunate people (It takes a great deal of a certain type of talent to pull *that* one off without the reader wanting the heroine to go and be selfish <g>. Though the author succeeded in some of her later books). Camilla's cousin, on the other hand, I liked.

So try another Lansdowne, perhaps, but not this one. Suggestion: Dawn Aldridge Poore's Roxanne books. They're hilarious fun. (And Georgette Heyer's of course!)

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Regencies I have yet to read, Jun 16 2000

By

Annie (Pearl River, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Camillas Fate (Paperback)

I loved this book and have read it several times. I enjoy the Regency time period, but have found too many regency romances with silly females characters and was bored. This book was a wonderful romance with passion and humor and characters I liked! I loved Cammy. And Jason is adorable and wonderfully sweet. I love when she kisses him in the ballroom. Sure, we figure out before the rest who he really is, but was a fun treat to geet there. When Cammy assists Jason in getting dressed to rescue the children, she does not blush or stammer but enjoys the view of him, which apparently is quite a sight. I also enjoyed the epilogue which fills us in on the romance of Clare and Aurora. My only complaint would be - what happend to David? He loses the title but we need to know his story so Judith, please write it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Close, but not quite.
Judith Lansdowne deserves praise for an intriguing plot and a unique and engaging hero. Unfortunately, hard-to-read dialogue and too-cutesy kiddies dimmed my enjoyment. Read more
