Monteiths Gift: Amazon.ca: Nancy Butler: Books

Product Description

Ingram

A lovely woman disguises herself as a man in order to support her family, not that the wealthy Earl of Monteith would understand. He treats her with suspicion even as her desire for him grows. But the earl is above her station, and a match would be nothing short of scandalous. But when she rescues him from abduction, he offers her a gift of her choosing. But she dare not answer, for the only thing she desires is his heart. A Regency romance original.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unwrap this one!, Sep 9 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Monteiths Gift (Paperback)

Nancy Butler's first effort well illustrates just why this talented writer has fast become one of the best-loved authors in Regency Romance today. Robert MacIntyre, the Earl of Monteith is a dour man who follows a straight and narrow path to preserve his reputation and standing in the ton. But then he meets Evelynne Marriott, a charmingly headstrong heroine who is more concerned with keeping her family together than observing the social niceties of a well-bred young gentlewoman. When this unlikely duo meet, Robbie soon finds himself off his narrow path and onto a rocky road of danger, whimsy, and most importantly, love. I couldn't put this story down as I waited for Robbie to truly realize just what a gift he had found in Evelynne.

1.0 out of 5 stars I am in the minority, but..., Aug 30 2000

This review is from: Monteiths Gift (Paperback)

I seem to be in the minority reviewing this apparently much loved book, but I was vastly disappointed. I have read a few of Ms. Butler's books. My favority is "The Ramshackle Suitor", which introduces the reader to Jason, Arkady's heir. Arkady's is a great character, and I hope to see a book that would include him and Jason. I actually enjoyed "Lord Montheith's Gift" up to page 179, where, for me, the story fell apart and any liking for the book was lost in the dragged out conclusion. It is refreshing to read a regency where the lead female character, in this case, Eveline, actually does have and appreciates her sexual curiosiy and nature. And Robbie, the Earl of Monteith, I found to be a hunky lead. However, he makes the mistake of rejecting Evelynne for marriage since she is from a lower class and the scandal could hurt his political ambitions. Given the time period, this was not something outlandish for him to consider. After all, his political ambitions were strong. But he regrets his choice, and begs (and I mean begs) Evelynne to give him another chance. Evelynne's 50 - 60 pages of refusals were exhausting. Most women, while being very hurt by the rejection, would be at leasing willing to listen and try again if one was actually in love. It takes a better person to admit being wrong and in the end, Robbie was the better man. Evelynne, by being so filled with smug righteousness, was made small and unattractive. I actually wished Robbie gave up on her and went on and met someone else!

5.0 out of 5 stars All I could want: danger, sexual attraction, heartbreak...
I think this is the best of Nancy Butler's books so far, although I've enjoyed some of the others. She seems to focus on heroines who are considerably below her heroes in social... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly enjoyable, great characters
I couldn't put this down either! The characters were really well drawn, including the minor characters such as Arkady and Gil, Evelynne's brother. Read more
