5.0�toiles sur 5 A charming and unusual Regency, Sep 18 2001

Par	"lycida" (NJ USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

Romance readers love certain things, and it seems the tall, dark, brooding hero is right at the top of this list.

Well, Nancy Butler presents those longing for something a little different with Roddy. Roddy is charming, feckless, and . . . well, maybe a little silly. Top that off with the little issue of him being somewhat drunk when we meet him, and maybe you'll understand why I love the fellow, and wish I could take him home.

He's well set-off by Lucy, who needs a little humor in her life, poor thing. They take on a quest she's sent herself on--and if you're put off by bits of psychic prodding, be warned! This book may not be for you. However, if you're up for a fabulous, off-beat romp, the characters make it more than worth your while. Let them take you ghost-hunting.

And naturally, there's this secondary character . . . but I won't tell you which one. That would be unfair.

Go ahead. Just read the book.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Wonderful fun, Mai 14 2001

Par Un client

Well-written characters. The heroine is the usual waspish governess type--but with enough humor (and a wretched past as an excuse to get away with occasional over-waspishness). The hero manages to be thoroughly persistent and charming--and a nice change from the usual tall/dark/brooding formula. Amusing plot with enough mystery and angst to keep it from being the lightest fluff. I don't like the supernatural usually, but the lost kid wasn't offensive. Superior regency with shades of a good Metzger with even (gasp) Heyer's ability to make human characters we cheer for who can even change and grow.

4.0�toiles sur 5 A delight, Sep 15 2000

Par	"wolfgirl@starmail.com" (USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This is one of the most delightful Regencies penned by Ms Butler. It features an older heroine, a delightfully boyish hero who is, however, reliable and resourceful when necessary, and his three amusing friends. The mildly supernatural element of the crying child which calls Lucy to the Isle of Man adds a poignant, slightly chilling touch which nevertheless works with the misty, isolated landscape. Although one other reviewer (below) questions the thinking of the heroine in not doubting Roddy's intentions, it must be said that THE READER is never allowed to doubt Roddy's intentions, and Lucy's removal from her usual habitat, her age, and her lonely prospects justify her early decision to take the relationship as it comes.

As a hero Roddy is superb and original. Younger than Lucy, less educated than her, he is nevertheless intelligent and absolutely charming, and the love scenes are breathtakingly tender.

Ms Butler's command of Regency-speak makes her one of the best in the genre today. This book - its characters, its landscape, its basic premise - lifts her even higher in the field.
