3.0 out of 5 stars Sorry - this wasn't that great!, April 14 2004

By	SusieQ (New York) - See all my reviews

I know the other reviewers have given this book 5 stars. I bought it on the strength of their recommendations! But I just didn't get that feeling. It was an adequate story, but I didn't feel particularly enamored of any of the characters. I was more annoyed by the heroine's fixation on the unobtainable Sebastian, and I wasn't necessarily convinced of her growing love for the hero, Evan. Some parts of the story were humorous, but I was in no way touched or moved, as I am when I read a Mary Balogh. In short, a pleasant read, but no keeper.

5.0 out of 5 stars a warm and humorous tale, Sep 19 2001

By	izzyfree "izzyfree" (New York) - See all my reviews

Lord Evan Trent had to get married and he flipped a coin to decide between the pair of Swann twins. The coin told him that he was to marry the older twin and he asked for the *eldest Swann* daughter. So instead of getting one of the twins, Evan gets the older sister of the twins, Lydia. (Lydia is old enough to become a spinster and she's still single.)

Neither of them wants to get married to each other so Lydia proposes that she live in his home for 2 weeks under the pretense of *Getting to know each other* and during those 2 weeks, she'll try to secure the affections of her cousin, Sebastian Osborne, who she truly loves, or so she thinks.

Evan agrees to this plan during their time spent together, he discovers that Lydia is a generous, caring and sensitive person. He slowly learns to like her and to appreciate her but he still backs off from making any serious actions because he know she loves Sebastian. Lydia discovers that Evan is a very decent and caring man, despite his aloof and formiddable appearance, yet she still clings to the fact that she loves Sebastian. Will these two people find love with each other, before their time is up or will Lydia still believe that she loves Sebastian?

I love Lydia's character. She's so nice and smart but deffinitely not boring because she's kind of mischevious. I like how Marthat Kirkland doesn't simply state Lydia's characteristics but lets readers see her personality. I especially love how Martha Kirkland read Evan from his point of view. This book is a deffinite keeper! I had such a lovely time reading this book and I recommend it to everyone who reads historical romance !

5.0 out of 5 stars Another gem from Martha Kirkland
If you love the "false betrothal" plot, this book is for you. There is no real villian in this story. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A definite keeper!
HIS LORDSHIP'S SWAN is no ugly duckling. In fact, she is a real charmer. I laughed out loud so often I lost count.
