From Publishers Weekly

The hardcover debut of historical romance doyenne Woodiwiss (The Flame and the Flower) recalls the era of romance writing when a hero could be said to sport his "fleshly horn" or "bold blade of passion" with no trace of irony. Some readers may find the prose a bit overblown ("she strove to unmount the iron-thewed thigh"), but the racy escapades are as entertaining as ever. Prodigal son Colton Wyndham returns to his home in England after fighting in the Napoleonic wars. His father, with whom he had a contentious relationship, has recently died, and Colton is the new Marquess of Randwulf. He enjoys flashing his "dark, shining orbs" at his beauteous neighbor, Lady Adriana Sutton, while in the throes of "manly imagination," "manly awareness" and "manly cravings." Upon discovering that his late father signed a betrothal agreement linking him to Adriana, Colton is torn between rebelling against his father's dictates and succumbing to his desire for Adriana. Adriana, still wounded by Colton's vehement declaration years ago that he would not wed her, fears that Colton will break her heart again and is determined not to fall prey to his charm. The mating dance starts slowly, but the introduction of a poisoning expert; a baby switching; and Colton's lowborn first wife, thought to be dead, keeps the plot lively. The prose is overwrought even by Woodiwiss's standards, but there's plenty here to amuse fans.

From Library Journal

Colton would rather fight Napoleon than acquiesce to an arranged marriage, but upon returning he discovers that his intended is quite the gorgeous young woman. Woodiwiss's first original hardcover.

2.0étoiles sur 5 heavy, in more ways than one, Janv. 28 2007
This review is from: The Reluctant Suitor (Hardcover)
Okay, this book is slow. And the prose goes on forever. And the myriad references to Adriana's beauty are somewhat annoying. But all in all there is hope yet.

Ms. Woodiwiss writes with some humour and I enjoyed some of the various plots, to an extent (once I got past the aforementionned annoying features). Colton and Adrianna's wedding? Totally unexpected and really quite amusing if you think about it.

There are some spooky and also extremely brutal elements (say, drab-delivered babe? BDSM? Yes, it does get heavy) so I wouldn't say this is a bad book. I guess the author just forgot that simpler prose could be very readable, and that neverending description could sometimes kill a story. Other than that, don't put the book down too fast, you might miss some pretty neat stuff.

1.0étoiles sur 5 more fun reading the reviews than the book, Juil 7 2004
Par "beautifuldreamer" (Seneca, SC United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Reluctant Suitor (Mass Market Paperback)
When I saw this at the library I couldn't believe
I had missed the latest. Not that it mattered!

The previous reviews here are so funny and true.
This book is awful. I didn't finish it and
It made me downright mad! How could this author have written Ashes in the Wind? A Rose in Winter? My personal favorites, but I love Shanna and The Flame and the Flower and The Wolf and the Dove.

I will probably still try to read any more that come out in hopes that the grandeur will appear again but really, WHAT has happened to her?

1.0étoiles sur 5 disappointment, Juil 4 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: The Reluctant Suitor (Mass Market Paperback)
Fortunately, I bought this book at a discount. I had read the reviews but couldn't believe it was all that bad. It was. Scenes that normally would have inspired Ms. Woodiwiss to elaborate on were casually dismissed in 5 sentences. Plots to new events were explained later on, as an afterthought. At first I thought it was due to the translator that I got discouraged (English -> Dutch) who pleasantly mixed up names and family lines (throughout the book, Adriana was called Samantha or Felicity and Colton was involved in a small bout of multiple personality disorder when he was Roger or Riordan at one time or another) but I must agree with most reviewers. Do not buy this book! If you like Ms Woodiwiss' books, reread any book you have of her. It will keep you satisfied till something better comes along.... Although I do doubt I will buy any book of Ms Woodiwiss any time soon.
