Rating:  Summary: Absolutely wonderful. A must read. Review: This is the first Malory novel I have ever read. From the first page I fell in love with the Malory clan. I have since read to other Malory novels. I absolutely adore them. I hope she decides two write a novel about Jeremy. From the first time I read about him I fell in love with him.
Rating:  Summary: Good, but not the best, could've been better.. Review: I agree with most of the reviews thus far. The hero was very overshadowed by Tony and James, it became irritating. Tony and James made Derek seem more like a child in this story. This wasn't their story, it was Derek's. It took off well, but stalled and never picked up. I love all the Malory novels, but I think this was one I wasn't too fond of. I agree, we need to have Jeremy's story! We also need to have the Anderson brothers' story.
Rating:  Summary: A breezy, lightweight read Review: I have to admit that I liked Say You Love Me, but only because it is a Malory novel and I can't resist those Malorys. Reading through the reviews reminded me of some of the mild annoyances I felt while reading the book that I brushed off at the time.Foremost of all the annoyances was the fact that when it came to taking on the villain, James and Tony completely overshadowed Derek. Sure, Derek needed to take care of Kelsey first, but he could have had James or Tony take her to safety while he dealt with David. Instead, while he got in a few punches, James and Tony then restrained him and sent him home with Kelsey while *they* took on the task of taking vengeance on the villain and caring for his other victims. I think the younger generation of Malory men needs to be shown standing up to James and Tony or they'll never be effective heroes in their own right. Say You Love Me was fun because it brought back the Malorys, but if future Malory novels are to be effective, James and Tony cannot be allowed to steal the thunder from the hero.
Rating:  Summary: I Love this book!!!!! Review: I couldn't stop reading this one when I began, now I can't wait for get "the present".
Rating:  Summary: The worst Malory book... Review: I agree with some of the thumbs-down reviews. It was the worst Malory book. Derek WAS overshadowed and didn't seem much like a real romance HERO. Then Kelsey just SITS there, waiting for Derek in the house he's set her up in, knowing she loves him but thinking that he could never love her. What a LAME-O! And definitely: if the main hero and heroine are going to be overshadowed by retelling previous Malory books, it's time to write about other people. I totally, totally love the Malorys but this book was a tooootal turn off. Her latest Malory book (The Present) is just as bad. I think she's just bending to the pressure of her publisher and her readers to put out more Malory books. QUALITY, NOT QUANTITY!!!! Make the hero grow up and become a real man, a real hero. And the heroine definitely needs more guts/character! Please make sure Jeremy's book is better!
Rating:  Summary: I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THE MALLORYS! Review: The fifth installment of the Mallory series is the story of Derek Mallory, son of the eldest Mallory brother, Jason. Derek, like his uncles James and Anthony, is a handsome rake determined not to marry any time soon. Then one fateful day, he does the unexpected, he buys himself a mistress, Kelsey Langton. But Kelsey is not what she seems to be, she is really a woman of gentry unfortunately forced to sell herself in order to save her family. Though wary at first, Kelsey soon learns that Derek is not only handsome but kind and loving. Of course, the unavoidable happens, they fall in love. Unfortunately, their situation does not, in society's eye, permit them to marry, but this is not the only problem Derek faces. He not only finds out that Molly Fletcher, a maid in his father's household, has been his father's mistress for many years, but that she is the mother he was told was dead. Talk about a whopper! I absolutely loved the conflicts and the struggles Derek and Kelsey faced. I was swept away by Jason and Molly's unshakable love that has lasted so very long. The pain and the sense of betrayal that Derek feels and the love and self-sacrifice of Molly and Jason would bring anyone to tears. Anthony and James never seem to disappoint us. They are wonderfully wicked especially when they try to provoke Nicholas- Regina's husband and Warren- Amy's husband also James's brother-inlaw. Those four are fantastic. Let's not forget about the devastatingly handsome Jeremy. I can hardly wait until his story is told. You'll love the Mallory family. Read the Mallory novels and find out just how much.
Rating:  Summary: well written, loved the reader Review: Liked everything about this story. Easy to visualize the characters and scenes. Absolutely loved the reader, Michael Page.
Rating:  Summary: Ahh, more of my favorite Malory Family! Review: This book does it again! I just love the Malory family and too read about Derek and Kelsay is even better! But there is a purpose why I gave this book 4 stars....only because I prefer James and Anthony over eveyone else. I loved their stories and when they get togther in other books, they are unbeatably funny!!! I love those brothers!!! So my favorite part in this book has too be when George gives birth to James's daughter Jack. That was a moment I was indeed crying and cheering over!! I am in the process of reading the first malory novel and when I'm done, on to The Present. I can't wait!!!!!!! Now I will have read all of them!!!! Only if the Author could read my this review, I hope she reads this: Where's Jeremy's story?!?! And there should be a book about Jason's story with Molly!!!! And what happened to the Anderson's after The Magic of You and that wonderful story about Warren and Amy (another favorite...that book touched me!). I can't get enough of that family!! All the books are great!!!
Rating:  Summary: NOTHING CAN TOUCH THIS BOOK !! IT'S AB FAB !!! Review: This book is one of the best books ever written by Johanna Lindsey.Not that the rest were not brill. This book just makes me want to go back in time and wish it was me instead of Kelsey. Derek Malory is a just the ideal type of guy and this book just touches the heart. I think the Malory family is brill . i hope many more books are written and i hope they be as brilliant as this .If u are wondering weather to read/ buy this book , dont hesitate , just run to you nearest bookstore and buy this .It is sweet romantic and it will warm your heart. "I PROMISE YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED !!"
Rating:  Summary: Outstanding plot and fun to read!!!! Review: I have to say that Johanna Lindsey is one of my favorite authors!! I really enjoy every moment I spend reading one of her books!! This one was no different!!! It was an excellent read and a visit with the Malory clan is always like coming home. I have just ordered "The Present" and hope that Ms. Lindsey's knack for weaving a wonderful tale continues through this one (though I really have no doubt)!!
