3.0�toiles sur 5 really wasn't impressed that much, D�c 17 2001

Par	Tiffany Lloyd "coolestgirlinaz" (Phoenix, Arizona United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

Griffin Darrowby is in Desperate need of money but can't let anybody know about it until he is married to the weathy widow, Lady Minerva Stargrove. Otherwise there is no way she would marry him! However Lady Min says that she will only marry Griff if he loves her like her last husband did. But Griff is unable to love, he was badly abused as a child by his heartless father and vowed against it forever.

Enter in Miss Gates Underhill. Poor Gates has lived a bad life too. Her mother was a lady who married under her station so when she died, while Gates was still so young, her noble family wouldn't even respond to the letter Gates had sent informing them of her mothers death. Her father started getting visions after her mother died about the bible and then created his own "Book"; and then started dragging Gates around the countryside preaching to whoever would listen. Then he remarried to another widow with two evil sons.

When both Griff and Gates there is an attraction there that neither of them understand. But Gates always finds a way to raise Griff's hackles.

When I started this review I really wasn't sure what to give this book. The characters were well thoughtout and you could feel Griff's pain about his family. Gates seemed to act more like a school room miss who knows nothing about the outside world, but that makes sense seeing as how when her father remarried he just left her on the farm while he continued his traveling. The problem I had with this book was that the excitment wasn't even throughout the book. The first half of the book was very boring with very little excitment. I felt that when Griff was kidnapped by Gates' stepbrothers it wasn't drawn out as well as it could've been. But the second half was loaded with action and love. I would've given this more stars if the excitment was more even throughout the book.

4.0�toiles sur 5 Sweetheart of a heroine helping another tortured hero..., Sep 24 2001

Par Un client

This is a switch from the usual since Gates has over-come so much in her unhappy life. She sees magic in the little everyday things, like a spider building a web, dragon fly wings, etc. While the hero has been undone by his miserable parents and life in general. All the main characters are so great. I loved Griffin's younger brothers, Cort and Scotty. Sir Thomas, Lady Min, Aunt Delphie are wonderful added characters to the story, even Gaspar his abused, lovable horse. The story is original and in so many ways very different from the norm. I loved the surprise ending. Definitely recommend this book. Now to try to find "Lord Monteith's Gift and more of her wonderful books.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Truly original!, Oct. 19 2000

Par Un client

Butler somehow managed to stay true to the Regency genre while creating a fresh, original story. This is on my keeper shelf.

3.0�toiles sur 5 Good in parts, but somewhat incredible
Like other books by Nancy Butler, this was well written with sympathetic characters. But the plot itself is just a little incredible; despite Gates' birth (about which Griffin... Lisez davantage

Suspension of disbelief is necessary for so much of the plot of this book. While the romance between Griffin and Gates is certainly well-written, the circumstances of their... Lisez davantage
