Fog crept up off the Thames to blur the foundations of the nearest buildings and steal away the outlines of London's roofs and chimneys where they met the sky. Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars A nice surprise... 11 July 2000
By Brenda - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Regina Landry, a widow, finds herself heading home after her brother and his wife are killed in a coaching accident. Once there, she deals with a spiteful cousin who wants her brother's children's inheritance for his gambling debts and is bent on making sure she doesn't get custody of her niece and nephew. She also runs into a handsome man with a mysterious past by the name of Harry Wainwright, the Earl of Taskford. Regina finds herself a willing victim of the Earl's lust and desires. The Earl finds himself the victim of a man seeking fame he perversely thinks he deserves and feels it can only happen when the Earl dead. Desire isn't the only thing Regina and Harry share; their love of horses leads them to a race and a passionate bet.

Readers can expect to find a wonderful regency full of mystery, humor and desire in "Ride for the Roses." Christina Kingston has given her readers a romance that will sweep them away to another place and time until they turn the last page. I was impressed with the secondary characters and enjoyed the humor of Harry Wainwright's pals. The out come of the story itself was a pleasant surprise.

5.0 out of 5 stars W hy hasn't this sleeper made a bigger splash? 6 April 2000
By Jane Bowers - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Serendipity brought RIDE FOR THE ROSES to my attention. I had never heard of the book or its author till I found it in my PO Box to review for Romance Communications. It only took a few pages before I realized it was a gem. The heroine is uniquely strong and intelligent, the hero one of those complex rakes so many of us love, and the minor characters engaging. The plot is many-layered, with excitement, suspense, humor and mild sensuality. This author is a dark horse who will surely win, place and show in future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ride for the Roses is extraordinary! 28 July 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Christina Kingston's "Ride for the Roses" pulled me into the story at the start and never let go. Regina is the kind of heroine who inspires even modern-day women to be all they can be, and the hero, Taskford, is the kind of lovable rake whose habits regarding the women in his life just beg to be broken. If you love tales of adventure, romance, and riding hell-bent across the country estates of fascinating Lords and Ladies, this book is for you!
