5.0 out of 5 stars I absolutely enjoyed this novel!, 30 Aug 2006
By T.J. "Romance novel addict" (England, West Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
It's a story about a young woman who once as a very young girl had a very close best friend who lived next door. She wrote to him frequently and they were very close. Somehow they lost touch and he does not reply her letters anymore. At the time she knew of him as the servant boy next door whilst she was well off.

As a young woman, her family almost in poverty after her father's death she decides that it is time to do something about it, but first she knocks on the door of the next house (where her childhood friend once lived). But the butler at the door tells her there is no one of the sort (servant boy/man) residing there. She is discouraged and returns home.

As the story goes on, she realises that the man who the butler and maids of the house work for is the same boy who used to call himself the servant boy. Her questions soon afterwards become answered and the rest is for you to decided whether you wish to read it.

I truly enjoyed the plot of this book, even the characters were interesting. Most of all, the plot does not stay the same for long, eventually a bigger plot is revealed, which is even as juicy as the initial childhood friendship turned into true love plot.

Truly a great read. I believe that it is a book worth getting.

3.0 out of 5 stars An Average Read!, 28 Mar 2006
By Kristi Ahlers (Illinois) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Ms. Callen's latest effort is a nice diversion if nothing else. This story doesn't pop like some of her other titles but it's also not a story I'd go out of my way to avoid. Plainly put this read will entertain while you read but not exceptional with it's character development.

Victoria Shelby and her two younger sisters and mother have been left destitute after the death of their bank father/husband. The two younger girls have left home in order to obtain positions as a governess and as a companion. This leaves Victoria home alone to care for their mama. Things are beginning to turn desperate. A cousin will be returning to take the house and Victoria needs to find a place for her and her mother before they are left homeless. Remembering her childhood confidant Tom, she walks next door to see if perhaps he could help her. He had always been there for her in the past. A cook's son he was her friend first and foremost. Imagine her shock and surprise when she finds out the boy who she once shared her thoughts and dreams with through a diary is not a cook's son but rather the son of an Earl. When David Thurlow offers her marriage she is once again surprised. Why would this lord want to marry her? Having no choice she accepts the proposal hoping she is not making a big mistake.

David needs a wife. His father has ruined the family with a horrid scandal that is still whispered about years later. Trying to find his place in life he is surprised when his childhood friend turns up on his doorstep just when he needs her most. He needs a wife she needs a husband. They will suit well enough and the fact that his wife is scandal free is another incentive to convince Victoria to marry him. But will these two be happy? David is involved with his business interests and largely leaves his wife alone...only at night when they are caught up in David's sensual lessons do either allow the other to see what they think or feel. Will the secrets they both work so hard to hide eventually find their way to the light of day?

This story had a great deal of potential but the slow pace of the story took away from the read. David and Victoria were nice characters but secondary character Simon seemed to overshadow our hero. This is not what you want when you read a romance. Overall this is a sweet story but it lacks the fire that is normally found in a book penned by this author.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Lord Next Door, 25 May 2008
By Bluebell (Scotland) - See all my reviews
"The Lord Next Door" was the first Gayle Callen book that I read, and I found it very enjoyable. I think that the previous two reviews give the basic storyline so I won't go over it again, but I will say that the two main characters Victoria and David were quite 'deep'. I thought that they were well suited and the fact that they had known eachother since childhood added to their relationship. Also, Victoria's character changes as she grows and matures through the story and I thought that this made it slightly more realistic.
This is actually the first book of the Willow Pond Trilogy by Gayle Callen; the second book being Victoria's sister Meriel in "The Duke In Disguise" and the third; "The Viscount In Her Bedroom" with Victoria's other sister Louisa. All stories are in some way interlinked with shared characters but each book stands alone so you don't have to read one to understand the other.
"The Lord Next Door" also has a prologue and an epilogue which gives a small indication over the couple's future (including children).

If you like Gayle Callen's book's you might also like books by;
Eloisa James, Lisa Kleypas, Karen Hawkins, Sabrina Jeffries and Jacquie D'Alessandro.
