Product Description

Product Description

Good manners may have demanded that the unattached Marquis of Kearny and Mallory undertake a trip to the country at his cousin's request, but something far more compelling requires him to remain. A wrong turn leads him directly into danger - and into the most unsettling conviction that his stalwart rescuer, Lady Hannah Thorne, is destined to be the one an only woman he will ever love. That is, if he survives long enough to get to know her, of course, which hardly seems likely with wild dogs on his heels and news of a recent murder that has rocked the peaceful village...Quite content without a husband, Hannah is taken aback when she discovers that the stranger she rescued from Little Mynd moor is the very paragon of manly virtues her best friend, Anne, has been extolling. Something about this Mallory id disturbing - or is that desirable? As their mutual friends insist on throwing them together, Hannah is surprised to realise that her feelings for Mal just may be the romantic sort. But before she can decide if this perfect gentleman will make the perfect husband, she must deduce who is trying to kill him...

5.0 out of 5 stars A PERFECTLY Warm and Wonderful Read!, Mar 24 2004

This review is from: Just Perfect (Paperback)
Setting - Shropshire, England 1804 --- Ian Denham, Marquis of Kearny and Mallory, at the request of his cousin Martin Gazenby, travels to Shropshire to visit his cousin and wife Anne who have enticed him to visit with the excuse of attending a horse auction for a most sought after yearling. In reality, Martin and Anne are really engineering a bit of matchmaking on the highly eligible Marquis. Anne believes that her very best friend, Hannah Thorne, sister to the feared Duke of Berinwick, would be a perfect match for her cousin Ian. The problem with Anne is that when most suitors discover whom her brother is, they generally run in the opposite direction. Ian, on the other hand, isn't really in the market for a bride, but when he meets the beautiful and strong-willed Anne, who is nothing like the simpering Misses and their overbearing mamas he's been accustomed to fending off, he finds himself immediately attracted.

During the visit a murder occurs on the Duke's estate and at one point even Ian is suspect. Along with the murder other events occur where Ian's life seems to be threatened and Anne who feels the same attraction is determined to keep him safe. With numerous gentlemen in town for the auction, everyone is fearful and everyone is trying to uncover who the murderer is and if it might be the same person trying to harm the Marquis. To top things off, a young 8 year old lad enters the arena which has everyone thinking he might have some connection as to why the young lady was murdered.

This is the second book in this latest trilogy by master wordsmith Judith Lansdowne that can completely stand alone. Although, if you do have the opportunity to read it in sequence you will find yourself enjoying it more! Added to the plot already described are numerous secondary characters, along with wonderful animals that make this novel as robust and enjoyable as ever especially when the eccentric and belligerent brother of our heroine, the Duke, inherits an 8-year-old precocious ward. The by-play between the family members is so honest to goodness sweet that, other than the mystery of solving a murder and preventing another, I found myself with a perpetual smile on my face. I read this book in one sitting as it was simply impossible for me to put down! The dialogs, between the characters are simply delightful and the descriptive prose is so real I feel like I am watching a movie. For me, this book, JUST PERFECT was just perfect in a most enjoyable way! --- Marilyn Rondeau, Official ...

5.0 out of 5 stars Lansdowne can't be beat for a good read!, Jan 27 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Just Perfect (Paperback)
Judith Lansdowne has done it yet again. This story kept me reading until I finished the last page. Now I can't wait for the next one in this series to be published. The characters are well developed, humorous and REAL! This book is full of intrigue, human interest, people and animals with delightful personalities, and a love story that grabs my imagination. Lansdowne creates characters that I want to meet and chat with. I have already read this book twice and will read it again before her next book comes out! Lansdowne is a keeper!
