Product Description

Product Description

No man, gentleman or otherwise, has ever looked at Lady Edwina Bollash the way the brash, handsome man standing before her is doing now. Edwina has accepted the challenge to transform incorrigible Mick Tremore into a gentleman in just six weeks. And although the linguist is sure she can rise to the task, she isn't at all certain she won't swoon under his frankly sensuous gaze before her job is done.

Mick has lived outside of London society long enough to know that appearances can be deceiving. Edwina might look all buttoned up-the perfect English lady-but there is unleashed passion existing just below her placid facade (not to mention a great pair of legs!). And as she prepares him to take his place in society, Mick prepares Edwina to take her place in his heart...and in his bed.

Synopsis

Accepting the challenge to convert brash, handsome, incorrigible Mick Tremore into a gentleman in only six weeks, Lady Edwina Bollash is concerned less with her abilities than with resisting the man's considerable charms.

The Proposition 1 Nov 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Sadly this book failed to impress. The writing was poorly written and so the plot did not grab my interest. I thought I would enjoy the book because of its plot, but this was not the case. The story is about Lady Edwina Bollash, who from the minute we first meet her know that she is very ugly, she is a private teacher for girls to teach manners and conduct. She is set a challenge to educate a mouse hunter named Mick Tremore, from Cornwall. It seems to be a good set up for a great story but does not deliever. Near the end I was waiting for the book to finish and do not with for fellow readers to go through the hasel. The only credit I can give the plot is a twist in the storyline in the last final chapters.

SUPER DUPER FIVE STARS FOR THE PROPOSITION! 1 Dec 1999
By Julianne - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The Proposition is my first Judith Ivory novel and I am sooooooo impressed! I read all the great reviews regarding this book and when I got my hands on this book, I couldn't put it down! True to the reviews, this book has great plot, great characters and a great ending! Loved Mick and Winnie's story and I laughed so much! And there were many poignant moments, as well! The sexual chemitry between the two were strong and powerful... I just couldn't get enough of the two!Mick, even when he was "unpolished" was sexy and totally charming! My heart just went out to him! As for Winne, she was not the typical romance heroine but strong and individual and beautiful in her own way. I just like Winne so much! After I finished the book, I had to flip through it again to savor the "good" parts.

If you're thinking about getting this book, don't wait- GO GET IT NOW!

This Proposition Is Irresistible 7 Dec 1999
By Kathleen Eagle - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I've been a Judith Ivory/Judy Cuevas fan for a long time, and I have to say "The Proposition" is one of her best. In a delightful variation on the "My Fair Lady" theme, Ivory gives us rat catcher as a hero. And, oh, what a lovable rat catcher he is! Mick enjoys life to the fullest. He's proud to be a working man. He and his collection of dogs and ferrets are hell-on-wheels at rat-catching, much to the delight of those in need of their services. From the first raucous scene, there's side-splitting humor, heart-mending sweetness, heart-pounding sensuality. The chemistry between Mick and Winnie--the tutor charged with turning him into a "gentleman"--is delicious, and the way Ivory handles the linguistics aspect of the story is masterful. It's a fabulous feel-good story--perfect for holiday reading!

Opposites Attract 30 Jan 2000
By Barbara Chadwick - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
What characters could be more diverse than Edwina Bollash, a prim, impoverished spinster linguist and Mick, the handsome Cockney ratcatcher? Set in Victorian London, this romance is a retelling of old tales, a mixture of "Cinderella" and "Pygmalion." Winnie, who has been disinherited by her Scrooge-like cousin, takes on a bet to transform Mick into a perfect British peer in six weeks time. While trying to concentrate on rounding his vowels and sprucing up his appearance, she becomes increasingly aware of his fun-loving personality and his impressive physique. Mick sees a selfconcious innocent, who is unaware of her physical beauty. Sexual tension crackles page after page as the protagionists are attracted like magnets to each other. Ms. Ivory has written a beautiful story, one even better then her previous works, "Beast" and "Sleeping Beauty." I loved this book! I cared about the characters and loved them at the end as much as they loved each other. They were meant to be together; they complemented and completed each other. Brava, Ms. Ivory! I'll wait impatiently for your next Victorian fairytale!
