This review is from: Diabolical Baron (Paperback)

Usually when you start a new book, you can basically tell who
is going to end up with whom but not in this one...I truly enjoyed how Ms Putney involves you in the lives of the enchanting characters in this book. It is the second book I have read of hers and so far the most delightful. I couldn't put it down until I finished it.
Can't believe other people gave it such low reviews. Well worth the time to read as far as I am concerned. You won't be disappointed.

This is Putney's first book, and it shows. It's dull. The main character, Caroline, is your stereotypical "bit of a ninny" Regency heroine. "The Rake", a sequel to this book, is infinitely more enjoyable a read. In fact, it is one of Putney's finest books (I've read more than ten of them): and you don't need to read this one, to understand it. So - my advice is - skip this, and go straight to "The Rake": or "The Bargain", which I understand will shortly be re-released as well.

This review is from: Diabolical Baron (Paperback)

This is not Ms Putney's normal passionate regency. I think that is the reason so many are disappointed. There is not the misunderstanding or a mystery to be solved. It is a story of a young girl forced by an uncaring parent to marry well to pay his bills. Jason needs a wife. He dosn't care who she is as long as she will allow him to continue his life as it is. Jason fill in love when he was 21 and because of the rejection has never loved again. Richard, who appears in several of Putney's later books, is a wounded cavalry officer who finds out he is an earl. Richard meets Caroline and they realize they share very similar view on life. They fall in love. Jason realizes that Caroline is definitely not the type of women he can spend any time with. Especially when he meets Jessica, Caroline's aunt. Jessica is the women he fill in love with when he was 21. Jessica still loves Jason and wants very madly to marry him. The story of course follows its course to suitable solution. Reggie Devonpoert, "The Rake", is introduced here as the villian. I would recommend the book, with the note that there are no love scenes and very little passion in the book.

2.0�toiles sur 5 A bit dull
This was my first Mary Jo Putney book, and I was a bit disapointed because she's supposed to be the paragon of regency. Read more

I find Mary Jo Putney's book usually either hit or miss. This book, while it had some potential with the mismatched couples, faultered because of inspid characters. Read more

I found the book to be strong on storyline, but weak on characterization. In other words, I liked the unusual ending, but I thought the characters could have been developed more... Read more
