Amazon.co.uk Review
Just what is it about bad boys that women find so irresistible? In Sabrina Jeffries' A Notorious Love, follow-up to A Dangerous Love, readers again encounter Lady Helena Laverick who has committed "Mrs Nunley's Guide to Etiquette for Young Ladies" to memory. But even the oh-so-proper Lady Helena can't help but notice Daniel Brennan's impressive dimensions when he answers her knock on his door dressed only in his underwear. What business does a gently reared young lady have with the disreputable son of a highwayman?
Only the most dire circumstances could persuade Lady Helena to renew her acquaintance with that scoundrel Brennan, but her youngest sister has run away with a fortune hunter and Helena needs Daniel to help her find the young couple before it's too late. As a retired smuggler and Helena's brother-in-law's former man of business, Daniel knows how to get thing s done and his upbringing makes him ideally suited to this particular mission. Of course, Daniel could travel a lot faster if he didn't have Helena with him, if he didn't need to fight his attraction to her every step of the way. But Helena is determined to help find her sister, and maybe--if she's totally honest--experience a little adventure along the way. Even if that means she has to put up with the provoking Daniel!
As always, Jeffries never disappoints her audience with her trademark blend of sensuality and humour as Daniel and Helen a learn to look past their many differences and discover their sizzling affinity for each other. This reader can't wait for the next instalment from Sabrina Jeffries! --Alison Trinkle, Amazon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars
Refreshing, sexy and fun.,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Notorious Love (Avon Historical Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book starts where 'A notorious love' finishes. It is the story of Rosalind's elder sister Helena. Not set in the drawing rooms and balls of the upperclass but more of an adventure story . As usual Ms. Jeferies story is refreshing, humorous and contains great sex scenes! Daniel Brennan does not have the usual background for a romantic hero but he is compelling, attractive and sincere nontheless. Lady Helena is not perfect either but the two of them learn a lesson in love, having great fun on the way. I heartily recommend all of the author's books and feel her style is the way forward for all Regency Romances. So come on ladies, wake up to Sabrina Jeffries.

FUN! FUN! FUN!,
By samcarey@supanet.com (Swanley, Kent) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Notorious Love (Avon Historical Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
If you enjoy a bit of lighthearted fun and a giggle when you read a book, this is for you. I totally disagree with those who say it is unbelievable. I believe that when you read romance you need to not take it too seriously because romance is fairytale. Yes the main character is a male tart but he is a loveable one and with his background and feelings "which is explained in the book" you can understand why. The leading lady is not perfect but with her sharp tongue and prudish ways, but again you can understand why she is attracted to him. This book is good fun and for us who dream of a hero, so read it and make up your own mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars
off the beaten track romance,
By Dark Ice (England, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Notorious Love (Avon Historical Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
I think if you are going to be reading romance novels then you should know that it is basically fantasy, and not to be taken too seriously so I did not have a problem on whether the plot was believable or not. I liked both Daniel and Helena when they appeared as supporting characters in "A Dangerous Love" and really, their courtship starts in that book -- it just melted my heart how sweet Daniel was to Helena in that book so of course I had to read the one in which they are the main characters! So this one continues their story after Rosalind and Griff go on their honeymoon.
The main theme of "A Notorious Love" is that love, as well as people, come in all shapes and sizes. I don't think it strange at all that Helena would be attracted to Daniel -- they might be opposites on the surface but really they are essentially in the same situation: both have been tolerated but mostly cast off from the "refined" society. In Daniel's case, it's because of his unfortunate upbringing and in Helena's case it's her physical limitations. Both of them have dealt with this rejection and unfair judgement by either flouting the rules (in Daniel's case) or hiding behind a cold reserve and adhering to strict etiquette by following a book of rules on it as Helena has done. Although they both know that the reasons society have judged them "lacking" are shallow and ridiculous, the treatment they get nevertheless affects the way they perceive their self worth. So it's no surprise that both would be more disposed to looking beneath the surface and be able to appreciate the person for who they are and help each other to accept it as well. All they needed was the excuse to spend more time together and what could be better than the abduction of Juliet? I liked it. It was heart wrenching and funny at times, but always sincere. Both characters are not the usual hero and heroine (like a dark, bitter lord or a perfect lady)but all of the characteristics that make a great person are there, and that makes it a refreshing read for me.
