The Reasons For Marriage

Rating:
Summary: Very Disappointing
Review: Although, I love the author Stephanie Laurens this has to be one of the most boring books she has ever written. Stephanie Laurens is a great author but the problem is that she is too repetitious with her novels. She uses the same plot over and over again: the heroine is reluctant to marry the man she loves because she does not want to lose her independence! She used this plot in the Bar Cynsters and even that theme got tired! I seriously recommend that you not buy this book because you will be disappointed! I was.

Review: I couldn't have said it any better. Reasons for Marriage was a light, sweet, love story. Written in 1995, I noticed. Maybe that is why it isn't plaqued with the sex/porn of today's authors. I read Perfect Lover by SL and thought I would never read another of her books. The sex in Perfect overwhelmed whatever tender relationship that was developed, losing any interest in the romance/love for the main characters, a problem so many authors are writing today. I am glad I gave Reasons for Marriage a shot. I, too, love Mary Balogh, Putney, Garwood and McNaught. We've lost Garwood and McNaught. Keep writing Mary and Mary Jo. There aren't many left writing with intrique, passion (poignant passion) and that hard to find "love". The passionate, poignant, depth of love, no longer found in the writings of most historical romance authors today.

Summary: DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME
Review: I honestly came to amazon.com to warn everyone not to read this book there is absolutely no point. Nothing exciting happens - NOTHING! The author must have had her mind on something besides her writing.

Summary: Disappointed
Review: I really like this author's other works but this one didn't go any where. The two main characters were extremely well written but then nothing happened except the usual formula misunderstanding about love. It wasn't even sensual! Both characters had potential for rich dialogue, intrigue, hijinxs but nothing happened. There were no villains, no trials to overcome. They just didn't get they were in love...boring.

Summary: not her best work
Review: i returned this book the day i got it. i'm glad i got my money back. atleast borrow THIS book from a library, because you know that you can return it, without wasting your money. the best part of the book was the ending, with the roses. that was about it.

Summary: Que dire???
Review: Premier livre que je lis de cet auteur pourtant si chaudement recommandée!!! Incapable de le terminer, c'est peu dire...A éviter...Il s'y passe tout simplement rien. Faudra être très convaincant pour me faire lire un autre livre de S. Laurens.

Summary: Waste Of Time, Effort and Talent
Review: Stephanie Laurens is an automatic buy for me. So, I thought nothing of purchasing this book and looked forward to reading it. It is awful! Neither hero nor heroine are likeable in the least. I guess they deserve each other in that respect.

No plot, no real interaction, no nothing for far too many pages. If I could give this book 0 stars, I would.

Somebody might enjoy this book but I don't know why. New to romance and doesn't know any better? Read the Bar Cynster series instead. Far, far better use of your time that this. I just can't recommend "The Reasons for Marriage".
