Summary: Humorous Regency romance
Review: In 1820 England, in the gossip rag The London Gazette, columnist Lord X exposes the questionable dealings of Ian Leonard, Viscount St. Clair. The rumors spread, which ends Ian's engagement to the shy Miss Hastings. Though not upset that he no longer will marry Miss Hastings, Ian is irate that some idiotic noble could disrupt his life when he needs an heir. Ian searches for Lord X only to find him to be the beautiful Felicity Taylor. He decides she will have to provide him with an heir but Felicity wants nothing to do with him. Willing to use blackmail to achieve his goals, Ian threatens to expose Felicity as being the notorious Lord X. As they negotiate a marriage contact to settle their dispute, neither one expected to fall in love. THE DANGEROUS LORD is a humorous Regency romance starring two powerful combatants. The story line is witty, entertaining and fun. The lead couple is an enjoyable pair, as their battle of the sexes will provide sub-genre fans with much pleasure. The secondary charcaters add depth and motivation to the lead protagonists. Several minor players deserve their own tales be told by the bewitching Sabrina Jeffries.

Summary: Obstacles Get In the Way.
Review: On the whole, this is not a bad book, but it is the weak link in Jeffries' "Lord Trilogy." Unfortunately, THE DANGEROUS LORD lacks the brilliance and wonder of its predecessors.
Left penniless and in debt by her father, Felicity Taylor replenishes the family coffers by writing a gossip column for a London newspaper - incognito. (Sound familiar Julia Quinn fans?) When her mousy little friend is about to marry the notorious rake Ian Lennard, the Viscount St. Clair, Felicity strikes out wielding her wicked gossip pen. In her scandalmonger column, Felicity accuses the viscount of keeping a mistress. After all, the devilish man does own the home, and an attractive woman does live there - with an infant! Such a vicious attack inflames St. Clair and he sets out, for revenge, against the camouflaged columnist.
Though Felicity and Ian are both likable characters, their likableness is just not enough to carry the story. The author casts them as two people who analyze every situation. They examine every circumstance -- either together or solely. They talk, they scold, and they sermonize. Their endless moralizing completely clouds whatever chemistry the two lovebirds might have.
What a shame the author chose this path, because her story had great potential. Felicity's four young brothers are one of the story's highlights. Each scene with these little devils is marvelous; too bad the author didn't exploit these rascals further! Jeffries' earlier books in the trilogy - THE PIRATE LORD and THE FORBIDDEN LORD supply the other secondary characters. Unfortunately, the author did exploit these supporting characters. The drawback? If not familiar with Jeffries' earlier books, the reader may have trouble figuring out whom all these people are.
And that incredible ending! Egads, but Felicity Taylor is marvelous - what a woman, what a wonderful woman, let's all hear it for Felicity and her plan to save the day!
Yes, I was disappointed in this book. Sadly missing was the delightful wit, the feminine bedevilment, and the electrified sexual tension, the qualities that were so noteworthy in the parent books.

Summary: A terrific romance !
Review: This 3rd installment of the Lord series will not disappoint you ! The characters are full, the story line is intriguing and the tale is hopelessly romantic. I found the character of Felicity to be strong and independent, as well as the character of Ian to be fascinating. While Ian's character *does* seem different than in the previous story, I think it doesn't deter the reader from enjoying this book thoroughly. If you have not read any of Sabrina Jeffries' previous books, I'd recommend reading the first two Lord books before this one, but it's definitely a terrific romance worth enjoying !

Summary: FINALLY A HEROIN WITH A MIND!
Review: THIS BOOK IS SUPERB. THE HEROIN HAS IT ALL, BEAUTY, WITS, AND SHE IS IN NEED OF A MAN. THE HERO IS OF COURSE GORGEOUS, SMART, AND HAS A WOUNDED HEART, BUT THIS BOOK WAS A JOY TO READ. THE BROTHERS WERE ADORABLE AND THE HUMOR IN THIS BOOK IS FANTASTIC. ONLY PROBLEM WAS THAT THE ENDING IS A LITTLE RUSHED--STILL A WONDERFUL BOOK!

Summary: AN OK BOOK
Review: This book was somewhat of a let down after I read her 2 previous books. I found the chemistry lacking between the two main characters and the storyline very flat. I was waiting anxiously for the debut of this book since I read about the hero in her last book. He portrayed Jordan's best friend from "The Forbidden Lord." Her heroine is as plucky as the heroines in the last 2 books, but I didn't care too much for the hero. He was lacking in warmth and devoid of emotions. I highly recommend her two last books.

Summary: Wonderful story
Review: This was a terrific book. The characters Ian and Felicity were complex and witty and therefore very interesting! Ian was such a mystery, and not like the normal arrogant rake. Felicity was much simpler, she was just trying to hold her family together no matter the cost. I really liked that about her. They both had issues from the past which shaped them, but didn't weight down the story. The chemistry between them ignited right from the start. They were both passionate people and were well matched. I liked them both very much and this book was highly enjoyable!

Summary: Stubborn vs... Stubborn
Review: Two bullheaded characters trying to outwit one another. There is so much time spent on that, it's a wonder the couple ever fall in love. Cut out about 100 pages of that and paste in some romance. The couple has chemistry but there are too many misunderstandings and Ian's "BIG SECRET" was not even worth being a secret. His reason for having to marry would have been enough. Felicity is clever but she played just a little too hard to get. For goodness sakes, she's penniless and has four brothers to provide for, why refuse the Viscounts' proposal. If you can make it through the first 225 pages, the last 150 pages are pretty good.
