Three virtues and Whit,
By
This review is from: Season Of Virtues (Paperback)
No one can keep so many characters and so many sub-plots so well coordinated and so perfectly in balance like Judith Lansdowne. The woman is amazing in her ability to organize and manage her novels so that they read like a snap-shot of reality with a million things that are going on at the same time, and all making perfect sense.Judith Lansdowne writes with her usual humor and originality. Her characters always have that little extra something that removes them from the realm of the ordinary and elevated them to wonderfully amusing beings that you'd love to meet and befriend. Whitshire and Honor fall in love gently, logically and naturally, like most people in real life.. only they are not so average or normal at all, even if they don't fight all the time!

Witty and delightful.,

This review is from: Season Of Virtues (Paperback)
Garrett Forester, Earl of Whitshire, had a most unusual hobby. He collected murderers. He didn't need his beloved mother bringing guests to his London house while he was in the midst of another murder investigation. Yet he found Honor Virtue quite taking and truly liked her sister and brother. A lovely young runaway from the horse show complicates his life even more, as does objects mysteriously appearing in his house.Judith A. Lansdowne never disappoints. If you love humor with your romance and would rather your heroine and hero not be at each other's throats throughout most of the book, buy a Lansdowne. Whitshire is definitely a man of many talents who loves his life. There are two other romances and three mysteries to solve, not an easy task for an experienced author to keep straight. No worries, Lansdowne can do it.

A Wonderful Story by a Wonderful Author,
By A Customer
This review is from: Season Of Virtues (Paperback)
An unusual plot unfolds as the Earl of Whitshire hosts three young people at his mother's request. These guests bring an extra visitor, who is hiding from her past, a pile of secrets and lies and danger. This all interfers with the fact that the Earl likes to collect murderers. The characters are well developed, as is Ms. Lansdowne's usual. Whit is a little unsure of himself when it comes to the ladies, and Honor is just bold enough to provide some entertaining exploits. For the delectation of the reader, all the secondary characters are also creative. The mother is sought after by many in the ton, but is amusing as she attempts to make a match for her son. The brother is brave and heroic (of course), the sister supportive of all fun, and even the villians add a touch of enjoyment. Lansdowne writes a wonderful story with a touch of humor, mystery and romance which I couldn't put down. Whether you're a ususal Regency fan or not, this is definately an excellent read. And when you're done this one, read "Amelia's Intruige" this author's all-time best!
