3.0 out of 5 stars
not one of Elizabeth Beverly's best, Aug 4 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dr. Irresistible (Paperback)
I also have read many of Elizabeth Beverly's books and I usually find them very good/excellent. I was a little disappointed in this one. All the "i" adjectives in the first few chapters drove me nuts. And Seth does appear egotistical, but he does get a little better. Prudence isn't the most endearing heroine--she's very insecure about her past, but I believe the author was trying to make her more human and less perfect.Seth has been trying to date Prudence for quite some time now, but she constantly refuses him. This surprises "Dr. Irristible" because he believes he's such a catch. Fate steps in when Prudence meets an old high school classmate who dredges up the past--not very memorable or favorable for Prudence--and Seth pretends to be her husband to impress her classmate. Seth and Prudence must continue to carry out the charade of their "marriage" until her reunion in a few weeks and in that time they become better acquainted.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Decent read, although tough going initially, Aug 15 2001
By Tanya V. "Bookwyrm" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dr. Irresistible (Paperback)
"Dr. Irresistible" contains all the hallmarks of a Bevarly novel, including her trademark stream-of-consciousness writing style and crisp, humorous dialogue.The characters are initially difficult to like. Seth seems arrogant and full of himself, while Pru seems to lack self-confidence. Their dialogue is snappy and witty, and while that's appealing, the initial lack of appeal hinders the story.
Fortunately, Bevarly ultimately does a good job of developing the characters. While Seth continues to seem arrogant, we also discover a deep sense of insecurity about him, while we're also learning the reasons for Pru's lack of faith in herself.
Ultimately, this is a decent read, and a good romance. Bevarly's writing style is very appealing, and can make up for other weaknesses, and the ultimate development of the characters and romance turn out well.

AWFUL!, July 5 2000
By kcs-calif - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dr. Irresistible (Paperback)
I could not get past the first 25 pages! Seth was an egotistical jerk! He kept talking to himself about his looks, brains, women, what a great catch he was...YECH! Prudence was a bumbling priss. Shown as klutzy and scattered, she is also an R.N. and a single mother. (Not very inspiring!) Her only redeeming quality was she became an ice princess around Dr. Revolting. I hoped Prudence would deck him and tell him to get lost. I sure didn't want to see her give in or fall for him. I have to assume the book gets better, but I took an INSTANT dislike to these horrid characters. Proceed at your own risk!
