Review: "The dangerous lord," started out good, but by page 150 or so, it started getting unrealistic and the rest of it was a big disappointment! I dont like the heroine's stubborn attitude either! The plot sounded interesting but it turned out awful! This is a poor written book that could have been better! Its as if the writer started out great but then got lazy and just hurried up and finished the book, without caring if it turned out good or not! If any of Jeffries stories are like "after the abduction" and "the dangerous lord" quit now! If she can get a disappointing book publish, surely anybody else can publish their as well and i bet theirs would probably be a whole lot better! This is not a good read but a waste of time! I'm done reading anymore of her works!
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Compelling and engrossing Review: "The Dangerous Lord" proved to include both a believable story-line and sympathetic characters. Both the hero and heroine have secrets in their pasts which prove to be the basis for the stumbling blocks in their relationship. I really cared about the outcome and enjoyed the sensuality. Brava Sabrina Jeffries!
Rating: ![2 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-2-0.gif) Summary: A disappointment Review: After reading the excerpt and several of the reviews, I expected an highly engaging read. Ian's need to marry and produce an heir provided the necessary tension, but the rest seemed contrived and a patchwork of scenarios from other romances. The humor was rather flat and I didn't get very interested in any of the characters. I kept reading to find out about the great mystery that darkened Ian's soul - it was certainly a tragedy that could warp a young man. If this was the best of Ms. Jeffries as some of the reviewers suggest, I probably will not be looking for more of her books.

Perhaps that is why I was somewhat disappointed... I expected it to be overly wonderful like the reviewers said. However, It was an ok read. It only needed more humor and character development. It wasn't boring either cuz i finished it... It's just that in the end, the story wasn't really gripping for you to think about it.

When her friend is on the verge of accepting Lord St. Clair's proposal, she is forced to write about him to stop the marriage. Ian is forced to find a wife and produce a male heir within 2 years.

Review: Felicity becomes your friend, your alter-ego, as you step through this delightful story of two strong-minded individuals coming up against one another. Ian must have a wife and is dutifully courting a young lady who is "in love with another". Felicity, to aid her friend, uses "Lord X" to expose Ian and his mistress. Shorn of his bride-to-be by "Lord X" and his gossip column, Ian feels Felicity should step in and fill the breach. This is just the start of a book you simply can't put down!
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Best romance I've read so far! Review: Holy Moley! I'm going to have to start downgrading my other ratings if people are putting out books like this! Definitely five stars across the board. If anyone ever sneers that some people read -- sniff -- _romances! _ hand them this book. It's so well-crafted, so intricately plotted and actually contains real humor! Yes, I said humor! The characters are delightful and people I want to meet, with incredible chemistry between them. The setting is very much a part of the plot and the situation; the dialogue is sparkling. I so admire how there seems not to be a wasted word in the entire book as the plot keeps lunging forward, pulling me with it. Honestly, I could not put this book down. Do I have anything at all to nitpick? Perhaps the final chapter wasn't needed, but for those who require a celebration to top off the happy ending (I'm not giving anything away; this is romance after all), you have that as well. If only they'd have put a cover with a little more pizzazz on the book (the clench back cover is really quite pedestrian, as opposed to the incredible romance within). To sum up: BUY THIS BOOK! And congratulations, Sabrina Jeffries on a job well-done. (I just did a search on Amazon.com and found that there are two more books in this series... and one of them, The Pirate Lord, is out of print! How could you have your publishers do this to us? Argh. I'll find it somewhere...)
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: A Historical Romance to Remember Review: I can't remeber that last time I had so much fun reading a regency romance. The Dangerous Lord grabs the reader from the first page and keeps you entertained until the end. Felicity Taylor is a young woman who is forced to provide for her family the only way she can...by writing a gossip column as the infamous Lord X. She has four brothers and a household staff who are dependent on her gossip column as a means of financial support. Ian Lennard needs a wife and Felicity's gossip column has caused his fiance to elope with another man. Ian tracks down Lord X and is stunned to find that he is a she. The characters lead each other on a merry chase as they think up ways to thwart the other's plans. The end result is a great love story with lots of attention to detail. The Dangerous Lord is a wonderful story and very entertaining.
Rating: ![3 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-3-0.gif) Summary: Good strong characters! Easy read! Review: I enjoyed the book and really liked Ian. However, I got a little tired of Felicity's obession on Ian's past and 'mistress'. She certainly is independent and clearly has her opinion on things, but she came across too pig-headed around knowing everything about Ian's past. Although she knows that Ian is a good person, I felt she made unreasonable demand on him in the amount of time she knew him. I like the way the author writes, but was a little annoyed with Fecility.
Rating: ![4 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-4-0.gif) Summary: An interesting read Review: I enjoyed this author's writing style a great deal. The characters were intelligent, wity and the men were sensitive. What more could a girl want? As for the story-it started off well. Our heroine wants to save her quiet friend from marrying someone her parents want her to so she spreads gossip. As the notorious Lord X, Felicity can write about anyone she chooses and stay incognito. Only Ian, our dangerous lord, doesn't like being the subject of a gossip column and tracks her down. Then the conflict ensues. He falls for her, but she won't marry him until he can tell her the truth of his past. That's where it starts to get boring. We don't hear of his exploits as a spy in the war or any other interesting story. What we get is an accident. And the bad guy just disappears, never causes anyone problems. Sure, he is a vicous, violent man, but he would never harm anyone. I could have used a little more intruige and conflict. All in all, though, it was a good read. I enjoyed the other two couples featured as friends to Ian so I think I'll pick up the first installments to this series.
