Disappointing.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Just Impossible (Paperback)
I am halfway through a book that sounded delightful and am fighting to finish it. This is my first Lansdowne book and her writing,frankly, is stilted. Guess I don't like her style much. Far from fast paced, I think it is slow and tedious. It is good to see this "feared" hero show his vulnerability piece by piece.Julia is a tough cookie and Emmy is a peagooose. The dialogue gets confusing since they are often talking to themselves and you have to figure out if its a one way or 2 way conversation. I'll finish it for the "duke" but no more Lansdowne books for me.

I was excited when I heard this book was out. I liked "Just in Time", loved "Just Perfect" and hoped this book would be just as good. Unfortunately, the book was just mediocre and I ended up donating my copy to my local library. I found the second book very funny and sweet, and I was hoping for more of the same. My main issue with the book is that I couldn't get to like the heroine; I found her cold. (Of course, she did want to kill someone.) There also weren't as many funny moments as there were in the second book. If you're hooked on the series like I was, this book is worth reading so you can see how things turn out for Berinwick, but don't expect it to be as good as the others.

Judith Lansdowne books have a similar feel to them. Her characters and dialogue are full of whimsy and this can be fun to read (as in her earlier works i.e. Camilla's Fate) but now her books are just too long and the whimsy factor is frankly tedious. The Duke of Berinwick is missing an eye - big deal. In the Regency era, no one would bat an eyelash at marrying a Duke with tons of money whose eye was MIA. Small pox scaring was all over the place so an eye, covered by a patch, would not have been that distressing. Also - he talks in what the author perceives as being cute or, again, whimsical, but becomes confusing at times as the reader is like what the heck are you saying!!!! Julia is rather boring. Emma too much an empty headed miss to be interesting but Lansdowne always includes empty headed misses in her stories. This story also had zero sex appeal. I am not referring to bedroom stuff, just no chemistry. A Duke who seems as dicked in the nob as Berinwick is not sexy. Julia came across as cold. There was a time when a Lansdowne book was eagerly awaited, but alas, that time is over.
