5.0 out of 5 stars
This book deserves 10 stars.., Aug 23 2001
By A Customer
I have submitted a lot of reader's comments but I can't find the words to say how much I loved this book. The witty retorts, great characters, on ad infinitum. It is the first book that had me laughing out loud. The double-entendré on pages 235, 281 through 284 kept me in stitches. This book is beyond the beyond and much more that the rating allows. I have read all of her Company of Rogues, loved them all but now on to the Three Georges. Run, don't walk, to buy this book, I can't recommend it strongly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very amusing read, Jun 18 2001
By A Customer
This is actually a good book to read, especially the interactions between Miles and Felicity---very amusing when trying to outwit the other. Mixing two strong minded people together, you will gets lots of action. It makes me want to read her other Rogues books. But alas, they are all out of print. Oh well, even if I feel like I missed something about the side characters, this book is still great. Filled with passion, humor, Irish magic, and of course danger. Hey, do you need a villian somewhere. Hopefully, I can find the books somewhere.

Another winner for Beverley, Feb 16 2004
The Company of Rogues books are a splendid series, and this book is no exception. Miles & Felicity are excellent characters and their interactions just sizzle. Wit, danger, sensuality, and much more combine to make this an excellent read. Miles is a warm-hearted, easy-going hero faced with a hellion of a ward whose plans to make things better always seem to make things more difficult. Sparks fly between them in a dozen different ways, each of them delightful.Other members of the Rogues make appearances (a common thread through all of them, as Miles & Felicity have appeared in other books), tying the novels together nicely. The cats are a key feature; one cat scene had me near tears, shouting "No!" to the author. A nice, subtle bit of Irish paranormal adds to the setting and tone of the book. The only caveat is that Felicity has essentially grown up with training in society; as a result, being Miles' wife, the future Countess of Kilgoran, will be a difficult feat. The reader is left to assume that Miles and his family and friends will provide her education. That aside, however, A Dangerous Joy is a joy to read.
