Summary: Cute but tedious
Review: Started with a bang, but it got so tedious towards the end, I just wanted to jump in the book and slap the heroine. Love him already will ya Pandora!!! Took me a week to get to the end, just could not get into the book like her others.

Summary: A fun read
Review: 'The Wedding Bargain' was my first Alexander book and I was engrossed from about the first page. Fun and sweet with two intelligent, witty and beatiful main characters who interact well together. 'TWB' kind of wandered a little toward the end, but it was a fun read. Well worth the time.

Summary: A fresh and original regency romance
Review: After seven or eight seasons (depends on who is counting), twenty-four-year-old Lady Pandora Effington appears headed to a life of spinsterhood. Independently wealthy, Pandora has been the leading debutante for years, but refuses to wed for anything short of love. Thus, she is dubbed the Hellion.The Earl of Trent, Maximillian Wells is known as a rake and a beast among other names. He has vowed to also marry for love and plans to stay faithful to his wife. He chooses Pandora, who will never bore him. However, she rejects his proposal that sounded more like a horse breeding to her. She demands a hero like Achilles. He demands a test to prove he is her hero. She gives him the twelve tasks of Hercules to accomplish. If he fails in even one, he must marry a woman of her choosing. If he succeeds, she must marry him. THE WEDDING BARGAIN is a satirical, yet sensual, but definitely enjoyable Regency romance that pokes fun at the marriage mart. The story line never lets up as Max toils through the "Herculean" tasks to win the hand of his Dora. The lead couple is a delight due to their constant battling and the support cast, especially their mutual best friends, adds depth to the plot. Victoria Alexander has written a triumphant romp that will elate fans of historical romance regardless of era preference. Harriet Klausner

Summary: She wants a hero and will settle for nothing less
Review: After seven seasons, Pandora Effington realizes that she must soon settle down. She's in no particular hurry, however, when the Earl of Trent suggests a bargain. He proposes that she set before him a test of her own choosing. If he wins, she must marry him. If he loses, she can name his bride. Trent is almost certain that the bride he has chosen will, in fact, be his. Pandora throws him a curve when she sets before him a test of Herculean proportions. From there, with the help of well-intentioned friends and family, it is anyone's game but the stakes are raised dramatically when the prize turns out to be love. Victoria Alexander has taken a tried plot and has turned it, somewhat creatively, on its head. The strength of this story lies in Trent's cleverness and, increasingly, what he is willing to do or forsake for Pandora. His creativity and the support of the Effingtons are the backbone of this book. The secondary story between Trent and Pandora's friends is charming and entertaining. The weakness in this story stems primarily from Pandora. According to the reputation Pandora has made for herself, there is very little she would not risk. Though she frets about Trent never speaking the words she needs to hear, neither does she confront him with her own feelings. While she believes that being in love means taking action, she does not practice what she preaches. The lack of communication between the two leading characters proved to be problematic as well. This is a well-written book with a creative twist and engaging characters. It simply would have been stronger if the heroine had been more convincing and communication between the hero and heroine had not been so delayed.

Summary: more than a little amusing
Review: I found this book extremely entertaining. As long as you can accept that the entire premise of the book is ridiculous and let it go at that, I'm sure most readers will find this book worth reading.

Summary: Cute - Fun - Charming!
Review: I loved it and I have read hundreds of romances. The tests of Hercules are adapted to historical England. This was wonderful -- and with the side characters, I liked the romances going between their best friends, too.

Summary: Witty, smart read!
Review: I LOVED this book! Victoria Alexander has written a book that is really funny without being stupid or slapstick. The dialogue is sharp and smart and fast-paced, the plot is wonderfully entertaining and clever. Too many of the romances that are supposed to be funny just aren't. This one is definitely is - I just couldn't turn the pages fast enough. I will certainly look for her other books, and can't wait till the next one (am hoping to see the hero's sisters in future books!).

Summary: OK read, but not exceptional
Review: Maximillian Wells have decided it's time to marry, and he knows just the lady that will suit him : Pandora Effington, also known as the Hellion of Grosvenor Square. Although the lady is well known for her rebellious actions and having caused a lot of duels, she has decided never to marry - unless for love. They agree to a bargain where Max will have to pass a test (The twelve labours of Hercules) in order to marry her. If he fails, Pandora will name his bride. Having already read 2 other books by the same author, it feels like the stories have been repeated. Especially when it comes to the development of the lovestory. This is particularly evident at the end of the book, because it seems that it has been prolonged by at least 50 pages too much. Apart from that I find it very entertaining and a good book for lazy holidays.
