5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVED IT, May 6 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Counterfeit Lady (Mass Market Paperback)

I cried quite a bit in this book. I thought it was one of Deveraux's better books. I can't wait to read Lost Lady and River Lady. As far as what others have wrote about the weight issue. Any one who is a Deveraux fan know she describes all of her characters in detail. I could name off more of her books that do the same. I would recommend this book to anyone and I have.

This review is from: Counterfeit Lady (Mass Market Paperback)

I genreally like Ms. Deveraux's work and picked up Counterfeit Lady expecteing another sucess. The book started off pretty good and I began to like Nicole, however it droned on and on, never really picking up, Clay treated Nicole horriably and she still loves him etc. It was painful to read because I just wanted Nicole to see the light and get over the egocentric Clay. And then there was Bianca who seemed to be trying to be a minor charcter but failed because she took up too much of the plot. The love between the two main charcters was so phony, and I kept reading it because I had hope it would pick up, however I was let down with the incrediably random and easy way out ending. I came to like Clay's friend Wes more than Clay himself. The book had good parts where Nicole shows her strength as a proud woman, but it wasn't enough to make up for the rest of the wasted space.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully written, Oct 7 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Counterfeit Lady (Mass Market Paperback)

This is probably my favorite out of all the books that Jude Deveraux has written. I was drawn to the heroine but not so much to the hero. While I was reading, I kept wondering at Clay's stupidity where he had this incredible once in a life opportunity to be with a woman who loved him at the depth that Nicole did. It was obvious that Nicole loved him from the beginning but Clay in response did not appreciate her as say his best friend and everyone else. And his dog in the manger attitude annoyed me to no end. But thankfully, he came back to his senses at the end although he almost lost Nicole.

I found myself speed reading most of the time. It started off quite well and I thought that I would enjoy it. But there was no sparkle between the 2 main characters. Read more

I love Jude Deveraux, however this one is missing the usual Deveraux flair. The main characters were weak and confusing, the heros' friend was stronger and much more likable than... Read more
