5.0 out of 5 stars Best Regency Out This Year!, 16 Oct 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Indiscreet (Mass Market Paperback)
Ms Michaels does it again. She should provide kleenex with her books, I laugh so hard I cry. "INDISCREET".... Nora Roberts said it very well on the cover "Using Wit & Romance with a MASTERS Skill."

Sophie Winstead, the daughter of a ...shall we say rather indiscreet (pun intended)widow is making her come out. The rather staid Duke of Selbourne has been selected as her sponsor, The Duke, (Bramwell) just happens to be the son of Sophie's mothers last lover prior to their "Unfortunate accident". Sophie's upbringing has given her an unusual outlook on life. She knows where she is going and soon after arriving at Bramwells townhouse knows who she wants and what she wants. She immediately decides that The Duke is far too straightlaced and staid. Sophie has a wonderful time teaching him how to loosen up and laugh. Bramwell of course fights her as hard as he can, even after he realizes he is head over heels in love with Sophie. But love shall win in the end.

All of the characters in Ms Michaels "Indiscreet" play a vital part in the story, but be sure and watch for Desiree, Sophies maid, Ignatius, her parrot, Bramwells light fingered aunt Lady Gwendolyn Seaton and all the rest. Ms Michaels has written this novel in an unusual and refreshing tone of the Regency era. The very forthright manner that Sophie and Bramwell converse is beleivable, bright and witty. "Indiscreet" had me grinning on grinning on the first page of the Prologue laughing out loud by page 9. Well Done Ms Michaels!!!, definitely a keeper

3.0 out of 5 stars Ths wasn't what i was expecting, 22 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Indiscreet (Mass Market Paperback)
Michaels made all French people seem like harlots, and most English people as vague martinets. The sexual tension between the hero and heroine was more like a master going after a mistress (which it sort of was). The heroine was somewhat disappointing, with practically no depth or sharpness- only giggly happiness. heaven save me from silly heroines. The story laid out the characters well, but i really didn't like the characters.

3.0 out of 5 stars Vengeful ingenue (with courtesan's heart!) meets her match., 1 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Indiscreet (Mass Market Paperback)
Review Length: About 400 words.

EVERYBODY'S GOT SOMETHING TO HIDE 'CEPT FOR ME AND MY MONKEY....AND PARROT!

This is no ignorant drollery, no foolish frolic. This is a very funny tale of two confused people mangled by their giddy, selfish parents. One tries to live down his father's past. The other dares her mother's past to live HER down. It should have been titled the Taming of the Shrewd, as an object lesson to intractable people armored far less by their intellect than they smugly believe. ONE CAVEAT: If you confuse gravitas with depth, or mistake pomposity for intelligence, I warn you now. The era is Regency. The romp is ribald. If you can't stand the mirth, go read The Devil's Bargain; but if you like your regencies wry and rollicky, here is where you'll find that style, voice, humour and mischief. Okay?

It starts with a fatal accident----actually, a mutual gaffe de passionelle so hilarious and undeniably public that the lothario's son does his admirable best to convince the Haute Monde his inheritance stopped short of such legendary joie de vivre. After years of strenuous effort, this boring pillar of the ton proves himself such a refined, sober, upstanding gentleman that the gossips relent, finally allowing Bramwell Seaton, Ninth Duke of Selbourne, to bestow his rehabilitated family name on his appropriately staid and abstemious fiancee.

When better to discover his father's instructions to sponsor the deadly doxy's daughter, a debut certain to refresh dreaded memories of the Widow Winstead and the scandalous swath she drilled through Society with his father (and quite a few other gentlemen of rank and fortune)? Bram can NOT refuse this posthumous request from the absent father whose love he never knew; so he receives into his townhouse the bombshell Sophie Winstead with her uncanny genius for righting the pitiful lives of everyone in his sphere (think Pollyanna), and inciting in Bram the horror that he IS his father's son after all. It is a joy to watch him unravel (think Cary Grant in Bringing Up Baby). To make matters worse, Miss Winstead (not to mention her tattletale menagerie) rattles so many skeletons in Mayfair closets that her mother's "old friends" smell blackmail and take steps to protect their reputations and their secrets.

All this author's magic is here: the historic detail, the sparkling dialogue, the brief yet vibrant descriptions which land you right there in Regency London with characters you hope for, root for, fear for----when you're not sliding off your chair with laughter. My Lord Guardian was NEVER like this! END
