5.0 out of 5 stars At last: Mature Heroine!, 12 Jul 1999
By A Customer
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and finished it in one day! "Rosie" is a mature and honest character, and a pleasant alternative to the immature and spoiled brats that so often prattle and tantrum their way throughout historical romances. The love scenes are hot and realistic! This is my first Jo Beverley read, and I'm here looking for more!

4.0 out of 5 stars En enjoyable read, everthing by Jo Beverley worthwhile, 8 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This book is the fourth in a series of five books set in Goergian England telling the romantic trials and tribulations of the siblings in a powerful family.

The hero and heroine in this story are not as temperamental as those in other stories, but this is in line with the personality of the main male character, being more phlematic than his other flamboyant siblings, and is not a draw back to the story. I did have a problem with the ease with which the heroine got the hero into bed (he just recovering from a serious poisoning!) but it didn't detract from my enjoyment of the book. I have read many other romances by other authors with VERY implausible plot devices. Jo Beverly has written in many styles depending on the era she is writing about. She ALWAYS tells an interesting, compelling story, literately written with no glaring grammatical errors or obvious anacronisms to wrench the reader from the fantasy. She doesn't write a "standard" historical romance (trite, cliched), but makes her characters believable people reacting realistically (usually) to their circumstances.

This book also gives the reader a glimpse of the plot line which will occur in the fifth book with the most powerful and flamboyant of the siblings, Beowulf Malloren, Marquess of Rothgar.

I have followed her writing since her first in the "Rogues" regency series and have been actively trying to find all her other books since then. She is almost impossible to find in used book stores, which tells you the popularity she enjoys with readers.

Happy reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Jo Beverley strikes gold with this wonderful book, 6 Jul 1999
By A Customer
As a longtime fan of Jo Beverley I look forward to her rule-bending risk-taking romance novels. Adultery is often a tough sell to fans of the genre, but in Beverley's deft hands, the adultery is not only understandable, but both hero and heroine are made to suffer for an arrangement that becomes a love match. The wonderful hero, Brand Malloren, is very different than his siblings. If this is your first Malloren novel, don't worry, you do not need to have read the others to enjoy this one. But I'm betting you'll want to know more, especially about the intriguing Marquess of Rothgar, Brand's oldest brother. One of Jo Beverley's strengths is her heroines who are reliably feisty and capable. Rosamunde is no different. Scarred from an accident during adolescence and married to a much older man, you can't help but forgive her for falling in love with Brand, the man she needs to father her child for the sake of others. Jo puts a lot of obstacles in Brand and Rosa's path, which makes their ending all the sweeter.
