Summary: great read..not the best Malory book
Review: Jeremy Malory....I couldn't wait for his story. The charming and viracious young scamp in all the other books deserved to fall like all the other Malory book men. I just felt that he didn't fall as humorous or as heartwarming at the others before him. Most of the books funny quirks came from the other members of the Malory clan. I do believe that Danny is the perfect character for Jeremy, with her background and her spirit. I just think that there should have been more instances where she sent Jeremy on a rollar coaster ride, or maybe gave him a little bit more to work for. Other than that it was a good book. I love visiting the Malory familiy, although, I can't think of a character that is left that is printed in my brain, that I would love to read about, but that's the great part. I love surprises. ROCK ON! LINDSEY

Summary: Avid Lindsey Reader
Review: Johanna Lindsey is a wonderful author and I love the Malory series. Jeremy is a 25 year old bachelor not looking to settle down when he plots to catch a thief to help his friend Percy retrieve family heirlooms. He catches Danny, who has been a "boy" for the last 15 years in a gang of thieves. When Danny is ousted from the gang for breaking the rules she makes Jeremy hire her feeling he owes her a job. The chemistry between Jeremy and Danny makes it difficult to put the book down. This book is a great addition to the Malory series!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Malorys strike again.
Review: Our beloved Malorys are back. We all waited in anticipation for the newest installment and Lindsey doesn't disappoint. Jeremy is now 25 years old and moving into a home of his own. Following in the footsteps of his father and uncles, Jeremy is taking the ton, namely the ladies, by storm. However, Percy, Jeremy's & Derek's bumbling friend, in typical fashion, has found himself in a bit of trouble and Jeremy comes to the rescue. Percy has lost two family heirlooms to a rather unscrupulous person and it is up to Jeremy to get them back. Only a Malory would think of using a thief to rob a thief. But this is where the trouble begins. Who would have thought Jeremy would choose a pickpocket who has been masquerading as a boy for 15 years? Danny, the pickpocket is an interesting character and doesn't give in easy to the charming and lovable Malory scoundrel.
I was a bit disappointed that there was not more interaction with his family, but overall it was a wonderful book and I look forward to the continuation of the Malory saga.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: CAN'T HELP BUT LOVE THE MALORYS
Review: THE FIRST JOHANNA LINDSEY NOVEL I READ WAS A PIRATES LOVE BACK WHEN I WAS IN 7TH GRADE. I HAVE TO SAY I WAS NEVER A BIG READER UNTIL THAT BOOK. WELL THANKS TO JOHANNA I AM NOW A VORACIOUS READER! I HAVE READ EVERY ONE OF HER BOOKS AND HAVE TO SAY THE MALORYS ARE MY FAVORITES. I ALSO HAVE TO SAY I READ A LOVING SCOUNDREL IN A DAY, LIKE ALL OF JOHANNA'S OTHER BOOKS I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN! AS ALWAYS YOU CANNOT HELP BUT FALL IN LOVE WITH THE CHARACTERS! JOHANNA HAS A WAY OF WRITING THAT JUST PULLS YOU IN. THE BEST ROMANCE WRITER IN THE BUSINESS! TO MS. LINDSEY THANK YOU!

Summary: another tramp who becomes a lady
Review: There are only a few surprising twists here, but still a good, well-told yarn. Danny is the street-girl shunned by her gang, who ends up working as a maid for the dashing studly Jeremy Malory. She wants him to make a real lady out of her. The fun of the story is in Jeremy trying to get her to sleep with him, and her eluding his advances. She develops real romantic feelings for him, but she doesn't want to give in because she knows he's a [hot] rogue. The prospects of love between them are further complicated by a scheming heiress, and the plot thickens even further as Danny discovers her true identity that she really is a real lady by birth after all anyway! Seems a bit too coincidental? Well sure, perhaps, but such plot devices are common for this kind of novel. As for the ending, it's not surprising but is nevertheless satisfying.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Jeremy's Story **dreamy sigh**
Review: This book was very good. It wasn't as 5 star excellent as the other Malory novels, but it was still a great read. The things Jeremy did were a great way to show the audience that he'd been "around the block" with the sensual way he pressed against Danny, bringing her to wanting him with out actually touching her.

One thing that bothered me was the word "nabob". It was used too much I think. We all know that Jeremy is an extraordinary handsome devil, but I would have liked to see him snared by a woman who wasn't so beautiful. Danny had been beautiful from the start, even with her short cropped hair. She was even a beautiful "boy" in the beginning of the book.

But there is just something special when a sinfully handsome man falls for a woman who isn't quite so glamorous herself, and I was hoping for a little of that with this story. Johanna tries to pull it off with her wearing pants and being dirty, but she is still described as beautiful. I much preferred the chemistry between Lachlan and Kimber in "Love Me Forever". She was ordinary, she wasn't beautiful.

It just would have been nice to see Jeremy Malory, a man known for dallying with beautiful women, fall for an ordinary girl and realizing there's more to women than a pretty face and a quick tumble. But that would have been my story had I been the author.

Johanna, however, did a wonderful job regardless, and Jeremy was every bit as roguish as we'd hoped he would be. And I'm glad she didn't overuse his signature saying "Hell's Bells" too much. When he did say it, it didn't seem forced. Thank you Johanna!

Summary: The Malorys are at it again!!
Review: This was such a wonderful book!! Johanna Lindsey pulls out all the stops with the story of Jeremy, James Malory's(Gentle Rogue), rogue son. Jeremy is such a great addition to this line of men. Such an Alpha male!! He is so protective of Danny and it is so funny to watch him get jealous and go through all the emotions that all men in love go through even though he didnt want to admit it!!! It was so wonderful in the end with Danny finding out who she really is! This book is so good, as soon as I finished it, I wanted to read it again!!!! Anyone who reads this book wont forget it!!! i will be adding it to my keeper shelf along with the rest of the Malory stories!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Much Enjoyed Novel
Review: Well, I have been a dedicated fan of Johanna Lindsey and the Malory clan since I was 14 years old. I have been waiting for this novel for years, and was very pleased with the overall read. I have read the other reviews complaining that the Jeremy character was not well developed, but I felt that, of course, Jeremy has to view everything in terms of sex and that he would size up every potential woman as a future bed partner, this should come as no suprise to fans of the Malory series.

I also enjoyed Danny, while some complained that she is "too beautiful", I would have to say that this is what romance novels are all about. A stunning gorgeous man and a spunky fiesty gorgeous woman. I found Danny's beauty endearing as she doesn't realize that she is beautiful and doesn't base her morals on that which is refreshing. And that she is such a genuinly good person with a giving,loving spirit.

Overall, I throughly enjoyed the book and am now eagerly awaiting the next installment, Drew Anderson or Maybe Jack and Judy's stories??

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Very disappointed fan-AGAIN
Review: Well, this book was certainly better than "A Man To Call MY Own". There still not the magic you feel of Johannah Lindsey's characters getting to know each other and falling in love. The characters were more apart then together in this story. The character development in this book sucked. One minute Jeremy is enjoying his affair with Danny and then suddenly you turn the page and he is in love with her. What's up Johannah Lindsey??? You haven't produce a story of your potential in a long time.
