4.0 out of 5 stars A very entertaining Victorian Romance 26 Nov 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
"Devil May Care" is a hilarious historical romance between good and evil set in the late 19th century in England. Lady Eden Spencer is a beautiful young lady brought up in a convent.She is an angel, the "good" itself. She wants to take her vows and become a nun. But her uncle has other plans. He wants her to leave the convent and marry well. Eden is against the idea but The Mother Superior convinces her to go out into the world and experience it fully in order to be able to help others. She is an innocent girl who doesn't know anything about the world and confides in her cousin Reggie.Reggie is a funny example of a society gentleman and he advices Eden to ask Damien Sinclair the Earl of Blackstone who is the "Devil" himself for help. Damien is a handsome young man whose reputation in society cannot be worse.He breaks hearts, he is a gambler and he hasn't got a good bone in his body.Eden is terrified of him but at the same time she is attracted to him as well. She bravely approches him at a ball and asks him to introduce her to all the evil things in the world for money. Damien is intrigued by Eden and he takes her innocence as a challenge and he decides to seduce her.Their funny, exciting and wonderful story begins.They both try to hide their attraction for each other but destiny steps in and they fall deeply in love.The story line is fast-paced and full of action. They fight and they get closer and closer to each other's heart and emotions. Eden finds out Damien's past and Damien solves Eden's ghosts from her past. The secondary characters are well developed as well.Especially Reggie is fantastic. His matchmaking behavior makes the reader smile many times.The author has a talent to make her characters alive. Damien and Eden are both wonderful in their process of changing from an innocent convent-bred girl and a cynical rogue into a well matched loving couple.
DEVIL MAY CARE is the first volume in the Sinclair brothers series and it has an excellent start.The historical background is very weak but the communication between the characters is well written and entertaining. I recommend it to all historical romance readers and I look forward to reading the other two books in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars When the devil and the angel clash--very highly recommended 17 Mar 2001
By C. Penn - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The notorious rogue Damien Sinclair, Earl of Blackstone delights in his wicked reputation. With the looks of a fallen archangel, Damien gives the women of London plenty of opportunity for flutter and gossip, while the men of London best guard their back doors. With a mother from hell, and a serious lack of loving attention as he grew up, the scars run deep in this intensely sexy man intent upon treating life and love as his own personal game. Yet beneath the rogue lurks a man who can be responsible, as demonstrated by his funding his mother's needs and paying off his deceased father's debts. But the man who would stroke a cat or leave a rose on a lady's window sill remains carefully concealed beneath a façade of decadence. Then he meets Eden.

Lady Eden Spencer endures her first season at her Uncle Edward's insistence; she would rather take her vows at the convent where's lived the last six years, since she became an orphan. Since her uncle intends her to marry, and she does not ever wish to marry, she and her cousin Reggie have worked out "The Plan, " a plan that includes the devil himself. Eden intends to sample a bit of the wild like, with Damien as her tutor. She lays down the rules, which include a certain amount of physical distance, but little does she suspect how tempting the devil can be. As Damien introduces her to the wild life, they scale rose trellises and attend games of cards, with Eden dressed as a man. Their remarkable escapes open Eden's eyes to the beauties and the dangers of life outside the convent. Damien's long forgotten softer side also becomes apparent to Eden, make the devil a veritably irresistible.

When the devil and the angel clash, they create a heaven of their own making. The escapades and temptations presented in DEVIL MAY CARE had me laughing so hard my oldest son thought I had taken leave of my senses! With these two wonderful characters, not to mention cousin Regie with his wonderful way with words, Melanie George creates a memorable romance that I can't say enough good things about. Engaging, humorous, impossibly touching and remarkable enduring, DEVIL MAY CARE comes very highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Sexy, Funny, Not-To-Be-Missed book! 17 Feb 2001
By Booklover - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I'm not usually someone who bothers to write a review, but having just finished DEVIL MAY CARE, the laughs and tears and wonderful characters are still lingering and I simply had to let people know how much I enjoyed this book. It had a great blend of passion, humor, real life situations, and a hero and heroine that were truly meant for each other. I'm dying to see how Damien's brothers, Nicholas and Gray get tamed in Ms. George's next two books in the series. Bravo!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not quite as good as the second part of the series. 11 Oct 2001
By "rdmencia" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Damien Sinclair is the eldest of the three Sinclair Brothers, considered as the Devil himself in the London society; a man tortured by his mother's infidelities to his father, and the situation in which he finds himself, paying up his father's debts after his recent death.

Eden Spencer, a beautiful young girl who is spending her first season in London society, although her uncle's whishes are for her to get married, hers are to go back to the convent in which she was raised, take her vows and become a nun; but first she has to experiment with things she's never done before; therefore that when Eden and her cousin Reggy conceived "The Plan", they could only think of one person for the job: "The Devil" himself.

I liked the story, but unfortunately, the first book I read of The Sinclair's Series was Nicholas Sinclair story (Handsome Devil); after reading this story I was so fascinated by the author that I didn't hesitate in buying the first book of the series, to find out that after reading the second book I just didn't like the first one; the first things I noticed were the flaws in the Eden Spencer character, she had a weak will and it is just like at the middle of the book when you really notice her attraction for Damien Sinclair.

Finally, the story is good, but if you would like to read a better story by the same author just buy Handsome Devil, after all you won't be missing any crucial part of the whole series by not buying this book; if you want to buy it anyway you won't be disappointed either.
