What an idiot,
By A Customer
This review is from: A London Flirtation (Paperback)
The heroine is an idiot, pure and simple. If you accidently get this book, you only need to read about 1 in 50 pages. NOTHING OF VALUE HAPPENS! I cannot read or recommend books where the heroine is a silly nitwit. The story would have been better with the cousin as the heroine. Marianne is just boring.

A fun, light read,
By A Customer
This review is from: A London Flirtation (Paperback)
While not among the best Regency Romances that I've read, this book is a fun, light read. I enjoyed the heroine. She was just as spoiled as I imagine some of these women really were. She is captivated by her own charm and beauty. Jasper sees the sweetness beneath this conceit and the pursuit is on. I enjoyed seeing the two of them interacting. The kissing scenes were over the top and got to be ridiculous after a while. However, I enjoyed the book and recommend it to those who like a quick, light read in the tradition of Marion Chesney.

Thow the book in the Thames,
By Annie (Pearl River, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A London Flirtation (Paperback)
Let's see, our "heroine", Marianne Pamberley, is so beautiful that her shallow character, her incredibly self-centeredness and meanness, is overlooked because she is beautiful. Sir Jasper, who appeared so well in Ms. King's previous book about Constance, appears as a wimp in this one. Marianne is determined to take London by storm. She is beautiful and well-dressed. She now has her sister's connections to be a success. However, she loves to kiss Sir Jasper. Sir Jasper follows her to London. Why? Marianne tells him time and again that she will not marry him. Real people do not behave in his manner and yes, I realize it is a romance but still...Does he not have any pride, intelligence? Respect for himself? He should have fallen in love with Annabelle, who was both pretty and nice, and have give up his almost stalking behavior of Marianne. It was creepy. Another ridiculous plot in this book has Marianne's fiancee, Lord Crowthorne, so distraught that he is not part of Lord Ramsdell's (Marianne's brother-in-law)inner circle, that he decides to marry Marianne in the hopes that by being related by marriage to Ramsdell, he will gain entrace to this inner circle. However, it appears that his ticket in was the fact that he shots Sir Jasper in a duel, in which Sir Jasper delopes, then confeses to Ramsdell his misery at not being part of this circle and that gains Ramsdell's respect and welcomes him. Well, hello...he practically killed someone! This book was awful. I did not end up liking anyone in the story. I wish I could have returned it back to back to the book store. There was not one redeeming page of the book. Don't waste your time. It is because of regencies like this book that the hey day of regencies is fast fading...
