1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible, May 10 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Impetuous Innocent (Mass Market Paperback)
I picked this book up, after barely reading the back cover, because I've read quite a few SL books and I have always really enjoyed them. However like many of the other reviewers I wish I hadn't. The book is boring. Besides the fact that there is no sex, (which I can deal with) there is also no sexual tension and no romance. Why on earth these two get together is beyond me. Georgina is supposed to be popular and vivacious but everytime she is w. Dominic she turns into a blathering idiot. Where's her backbone? And why on earth dominic would ever want to marry her is inexplicable. I would reccommend Stephanie Laurens to fans of the genre but stay away from her older stuff. I'm glad this was not the first book of hers I read, at least I know she can do better!

3.0 out of 5 stars Well written, but I'm still disappointed..., Mar 17 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Impetuous Innocent (Mass Market Paperback)
with the ending. It's my own fault, I guess, that I didn't check the publication date to see that this was one of her earlier works. I was expecting at least *one* trademark love scene, and I was perfectly willing for it to be after they married. But, alas, there wasn't one, and that threw a bucket of ice-cold water on what had been a nice build-up of sexual tension. So my overall feeling is one of indifference - I won't read it again, and that is something I have never said of her other works.

4.0 out of 5 stars I liked this book...., Dec 11 2003
This review is from: Impetuous Innocent (Mass Market Paperback)
After a long absence from reading (10 years), I have been catching up like crazy...One of my favorite authors is Stephanie Laurens...she writes and my heart soars. She is very romantic/descriptive ..My kind of writer ..

I will have to say, and I see (by her reviews) most people have liked her new stuff more, I think her older books are more romantic..I also have found her recent writings more sexual, I see her old writings more heart felt and thought out more. I do not think sex in a book is all there is for romance, and I sure hope making romances more sexual and less romantic is not a future trend.

... In addition, I hope Ms. Laurens you remember... there are I am sure ... many that buy books for enjoyment.... for the artist of words...and you are that an artist. Hopefully that woman that grabbed those books, wont get published. She seemed to think woman just read the romance for sex..and thought I was crazy when I tried to show her my favorite authors.

Back to my review, I loved this book, only thing that I didn't like was her age, when I saw she was 18 I thought, oh lord she is a baby....there is no way I am going to get into this book (I like my heroines older) but it was not to bad....I would give this book a three and a half star..However, you never get half stars on here...*sigh*

4.0 out of 5 stars Love, not lust; Romance, not sex
I just finished reading this book and I think it's wonderful. I think it unfair that so many people underate it because it's not filled with superfluous steamy sex. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Should NOT Have Been Re-issued!
What a disappointment. I always check the issue date in the front of a book. So, I knew when I bought it that it was one of Ms. Lauren's earlier works. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars sweet
I actually enjoyed this more because it was "sweeter" - less emphasis on the sex, more on the characters and their relationship. It's a throwback, but a good one.

2.0 out of 5 stars Way to short and a dissapointment
I am normally a big fan of this author but this story seemed to "short" and the characters not as well developed as they usually are. I though it was rushed. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Very early, only worth checking out from the library.
I like Stephanie Laurens' books, mostly (up until the cynster twins novels) because she seems to have enough juice/creativity. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Very tame, very lame story
I wish I had read the reviews posted here first before I impulsively picked up this book. I assumed it was a continuation of the Cynster series which I love. Read more
