Product Description

Lysander Hawkley combined breathtaking good looks with the kindest of hearts. He couldn't pass a stray dog, an ill-treated horse or a neglected wife without rushing to the rescue. And with neglected wives the rescue invariably led to ecstatic bonking, which didn't please their erring husbands one bit. Lysander's mid-life crisis had begun at twenty-two. Reeling from the death of his beautiful mother, he was out of work, drinking too much and desperately in debt. The solution came from Ferdie, his fat, fast-operating friend: if Lysander was so good at making husbands jealous, why shouldn't he get paid for it? Let loose among the neglected wives of the ritzy county of Rutshire, Lysander causes absolute havoc. But it is only when he meets Rannaldini, Rutshire's King Rat of Rutshire and a temperamental, fiendishly promiscuous international conductor, that the trouble really starts. The only unglamorous woman around Rannaldini was Kitty, his plump young wife who ran his life like clockwork. Soon Lysander was convinced that Kitty must be rescued from Rannaldini at all costs, even if it means enlisting the help of the old blue-eyed havoc maker: Rupert Campbell-Black.

4.0 out of 5 stars A blast...(4 1/2 stars), Feb 25 2004

By	M. I. "krushedvelvet" (Old Bridge, NJ United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Man Who Made Husbands Jelous (Paperback)

I love Jilly Cooper. Her books are always packed with characters. "The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous" was not my favorite of hers,however I was still wild about it. This book was enormous, but it was paced perfectly and Lysander was just as sweet as pie.I was rooting for him all the way through. I just know he and Kitty will live happily ever after... My main complaint is that I felt there were a few loose strings dangling at the end of the book, but all in all this was -in typical Jilly Cooper fashion- a definite keeper.

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny, sexy, entertaining, Sep 17 2002

By	"juj" (Manila) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Man Who Made Husbands Jelous (Paperback)

Although Lysander is supposed to be the lead character being the man who made husbands jealous, it was a good idea to focus on the several couples' marriage & their respective disasters. Here we witness the various forms of marriage...those out of comfort, convenience & love. It might have been too wild with all of Rannaldinni's promiscuity & scandalous sex practices (oh morality, whert have thou gone?)but the writer tempered the scenes with humor so as not to totally appall the readers.

Some scenes were sort of weird especially that of Rannaldini's well-planned & well-executed Othello party (but of course, what do you expect of that devil!) & a bit too long for Lysander & Kitty to finally stage a courageous happy ending. But overall, it's a funny read & highly entertaining. You can't help but curse some characters but fall for others.

P.S. Meredith... is superbly witty & funny :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic read--not to be missed!, Oct 12 2000

By	"nshelton" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Man Who Made Husbands Jelous (Paperback)

I've read many romance novels & this is one of the best authors around. As this was my first by this author, I've bought all the rest of her novels I can get. I bought this in desperation on vacation, & couldn't put it down. I thought Lysander was a turkey at first, but by the end of the novel wished I could meet him in real life.

I hope someone buys the option & makes this as a movie with someone like Brad Pitt! It would be a dynamite hit!!
