The Reasons For Marriage

Summary: A tender, emotional story with likeable characters
Review: This is the kind of story which originally inspired me to buy Stephanie Laurens, but I'm not surprised by some of the other reviews ... because they sound as disappointed as I'd sound if I reviewed Laurens' more recent books. Vive la difference!

I got so disappointed by cardboard characters and thin to nonexistent plots as an excuse for 300+ pages of erotica in her recent stuff that I quit buying her books about a year and a half ago ...

But THIS one, a Regency rather than an historical, is a treasure, one that reminds me of Mary Balogh and Mary Jo Putney's early books, which I also keep and re-read often.

Summary: Another Great Read
Review: When I see Miss Laurens' books, I know that I'm in for a good adventure. As always, I have a hard time once I start to read one of her books, I don't stop until I finished. The plot is well written and keeps at a fast past, as with all her books.
