Product Description

Product Description

It takes a minx to tempt a rogue . . .

Henrietta Barrett has never followed the dictates of society. She manages her elderly guardian's remote Cornwall estate, wears breeches instead of frocks, and answers to the unlikely name of Henry. But when her guardian passes away, her beloved home falls into the hands of a distant cousin.

. . . And it takes a rogue to tame her

William Dunford, London's most elusive bachelor, is stunned to learn that he's inherited property, a title . . . and a ward bent on making his first visit his last. Henry is determined to continue running Stannage Park without help from the handsome new lord, but Dunford is just as sure he can change things . . . starting with his wild young ward. But turning Henry into a lady makes her not only the darling of the ton, but an irresistible attraction to the man who thought he could never be tempted.



Ingram

Rebelling against all societal conventions by wearing breeches and managing her elderly guardian's estate, feisty Henrietta Barrett is left at the mercy of distant cousin William Dunford when her guardian passes away.

4.0 out of 5 stars CUTE & FUNNY, Jun 11 2004
The author's typical Regency with a lightheartedness that makes her even more readable than others with her style -- like Cathy Maxwell, Christina Dodd, Suzanne Enoch. A Light Read.

4.0 out of 5 stars This was a great read!, Mar 29 2004
By A Customer
After reading "Dancing at Midnight," I wasn't so sure I'd be a huge Julia Quinn fan. But reading "Minx" has made me a believer.

We learn about Dunforn in "Dancing at Midnight," and definitely want to see him find the love and happiness that Alex, Emma, Belle, and John have found. He's such a likable guy and the whole storyline is unique and fun.

If I could change one thing about this book, I would change the heroine's name. I know it was supposed to original, but having her have a blatantly male name was a bit disconcerting. And to think of Dunford crying out "Henry" in ecstasy was a bit too much for me. :) Other than that, the book was wonderful.

Henry was a lovable, free-spirited original. Her lack of care of society's rules made her one of my favorite heroines. I loved her blunt speech and ability to win everyone over. She seemed a bit immature in the beginning when she was trying to make Dunford leave Stannage Park, but I guess that was intentional. She grew as a character throughout the story.

Just like in the first J.Q. novel I read, the sex scenes in "Minx" left a lot to be desired. There was a lot of heartfelt passion, but not alot of physical action to back it up. The sex scenes are pretty dull and there's not alot of description in those. If you're looking for some really scintillating stuff, read any Nicole Jordan novels. If you like the softer stuff, then J.Q. is definitely for you.

3.0 out of 5 stars Location change = the downfall. 3.5 Stars., Feb 6 2004
By MaryGrace Meloche (Ontario, Canada.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book opens with a solid romance story. Gaiety and revelry develop into a delightful, humorous adventure. Our hero, the notorious London rake, Lord William Dunford, has inherited a prime piece of English property from a distant relative. Upon his arrival, he discovers the precocious, hoydenish Henrietta "Henry" Barrett. Only to find this little woman has maintained his estate quite successfully. The playful banter between our soon-to-be lovers is delightful. Usually, Julia Quinn draws her female characters as strong, capable woman and here is no exception, Henrietta is an enchanting young woman. Quinn's hero, Dunford, is a babe -- strong, caring -- a woman's fantasy. Sadly, all good things end. Our smoldering couple should have stayed on the estate.

Quinn changes the location and we adjourn into old London Town. A city filled with manipulators, schemers, and gossips. This move brings the novel's fun to an end. The innocence falls apart, to the reader's disappointment. Our happy friends begin to mistrust and misunderstand each other. Yes, I realize doubt and delusion are par for the course in romance reading, but the author is guilty of dangling this frustration too long. Quinn misplaced the merriment and the words became work.

Grace Atkinson, Ontario - Canada.
