MOST ENJOYABLE FOR A CHANGE!,
By
This review is from: Mistress Thief (Paperback)
What intrigued me was the thought of a man losing his mistress - three at that.Did not bother to pick the plot apart - just read for enjoyment and a change from the boring bed hoping of the contemporaries. Did like the misguided loyality of Livinia Peyton to her sister but couldn't believe she was that dumb. Comes with the age of the person I guess. Ranson Baldwin for all of his investigations of Lord Hayley should have been a more dangerous character. I think everyone loved to hate Lord Hayley and Thomas Carter and the truth behind this small fact. Women disappearing into slavery. Jessica and Lavinia got off a lot better than they should -- the danger was present but didn't quite catch them in the plot -- still I did enjoy the general story. Loved Drew's sense of humour -- Do recommend for a light, easy read and a change of pace.

stupid and ignorant,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mistress Thief (Paperback)
Alana Clayton doesn't know much about the regency, she thinks the Prince Regent was involved in politics, that the home office investigated crimes, that prostitutes required job training to find jobs (more likely they required references.) She also seems to think that her characters have read the last chapter, how else explain why everyone involved expects that a romance between a married woman and a man not her husband will work out, except by assuming that the characters know in advance that the husband will be killed. Then there are the two main characters. He falls in love with her immediately, Lord knows why, probably because she is rude, suspicious, and churlish in her every dealing with him. And, oh yes, a plot that relies on the principal protagonists deliberately witholding information from one another for no reason simply will not fadge.

Just not enjoyable,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mistress Thief (Paperback)
Although I usually enjoy any Regency romance, I did not like this book. The characters were not stereotyped; unfortunately, they were also supremely uninteresting. I felt that the major personality trait of the heroine was pettiness, while the hero was defined by his obliviousness. Within the first 15 pages, I was fairly certain I knew the plot, but stuck with it until page 73, where I stopped and skipped to the last 10 pages. As it turned out, I was right -- I did know the plot. Since I couldn't even bring myself to read the whole book, I recommend that you choose another one to buy. Just for the record, I have well over 300 Regency romances in my personal collection and I have never felt strongly enough about one to write a negative review.Alisha
