Summary: So Disappointing
Review: I usually love her books - the heroines, stories, the feelings, etc. There was nothing I liked about this one... No emotional pull for the couple, no desire to see them together - only the last page. Would not recommend.

Summary: haven't read it yet, scared to read it too
Review: Nope, that's right, haven't read it. To be fair, I give it 3 stars, right in the middle. I love Ms. Lindsey's book. I have all of them. But, the reviews tell me, it not going to be on par. So, I will wait for the mass paperback issue. I've been a fan since A Pirate's Love and went back to read Captive Bride. I used to pick up the 2 books every year. Then 1 book every year. Now,I guess that with infrequency of writing, the creative juices just have dried up. The last few books were very disappointing. But as a loyal fan, I will await the paperback issue to see how bad it can be. I hope that all the other reviews have been wrong and that this will be another Lindsey classic. But with the disappointment of the last few, I won't hold my breath.

Summary: Hinesite is Better Than Forsight
Review: Mistakes in judgment and in communication between specific people cause lots of heartache and physical pain to result. Two people want to get married because they love each other with all their hearts. Family gets in the way and trys to stop the marriage all a a result of many misunderstandings. If the characters had only been honest with each other,pain and suffering could have been avoided.As with the story in this book,I also made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes but,hopefully, we learn from them. I wish I had read the critics on this book before I wasted my time reading it. I kept thinking the book would get better until half way through the book. I then realized it wasn't going to change but I had too much invested in the book not to finish it.

Summary: Just Can't Seem to Pick This Back Up
Review: I have read every Joanna Lindsey book and have loved almost all of them. I have tried numerous times to finish this book and I just can't get interested in it. It goes nowhere and there is no romance, no chemistry, no classic Lindsey. I have bought the last few Lindsey novels in hard cover form and I have to say the last three were a disappointment and not worth the cost of hard cover. I will wait for the next book to come out in paperback. Don't waste a penny on this one-wait for the used book sales. I tried, truly to force myself to finish this one, but there are so many other good books and so little time, that I think I will read the last chapter and move on.

Summary: dull, predictable, forced myself to finish
Review: Not Lindsey at her best. Not worth your time unless you are a die hard fan keeping up with characters from other books. And then I would recommend waiting for paperback or borrow one. If you have never read a Lindsey - find another one to read. As I said it was dull, predictable, and I really had to force myself to finish it.

Summary: Tedious and Implausible
Review: It's always a bad sign when I start flipping pages foward in a book, looking for something to happen, and it didn't take very long into this book before tedium set in and I was looking ahead. Unfortunately, there wasn't much to find. It annoys me very much when period authors use 20th century concepts like drug reactions and psychobabble to motivate their characters. It simply doesn't ring true, and as a reader, I feel insulted that a writer expects me to suspend disbelief to so great a degree. Save your money on this one.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: There was a time when I could sit up all night reading a Johanna Lindsey novel. The attraction the characters felt for each other, the obstacles they had to overcome and the humor kept me hooked because I just had to know what happened next. In recent years, Ms. Lindsey's novels have not grabbed me the way the earlier ones had. They were okay. A quick read but not spectacular. I am disappointed to say that The Pursuit is the first one that I've wanted to put down and not finish. I really wouldn't call this a romance novel since most of the plot had to do with the hero's childhood feud with the heroine's 16 uncles. The hero and heroine hardly interact and there was no build-up of feelings between them to make it exciting. He comes across her at a lake and it is love at first sight. With that out of the way, the author was free to focus on the feud between Lincoln and Melissa's uncles which really isn't what I look for in a romance novel. I want to care about the characters and want to see them live happily ever after. Unfortunately this book didn't give me much incentive to read on.

Summary: "Less than awful"
Review: This was better than the last few. But, since
they've been awful - 'better' isn't saying much. Sadly, I'll just await the next Lindsey(?) novel
at the Used Book Store.

Summary: Where was the excitement? Severly Lacking...
Review: I am and have been a huge fan of Ms. Lindsey for years and have read everything by her numerous times, but lately her books are lacking. This one is another lackluster turnout and I wont be buying anything else from her in hardback.
The story was the third book in a series that began with 'Man of My Dreams', and 'Love Me Forever', this one, didn't even warrant being in the series. The characters were so dull and tepid that I had a hard time caring anything about them and wished the book was over. It droned on and on and I never was convinced of the romance between Lincoln and Melissa. It centered on too much dialog in London's social season and bored me to tears, there was no real interaction between the two and Lincoln seemed weak. The 'conflict' in the story was also unbelievable and did not help the drowning book in any way. I would've given this 1 star, but I had to remember that it is a Lindsey and she must've put alot of work into it regardless. In my opinion, she needs a break from writing because it shows... ~Melissa MacFearson sees London as an escape from her overbearing uncles and family, so she sets off from her home in the wilds of Scotland to the social whirl of London's season. She doesn't expect to fall for the 17th Viscount of Cambury, Lincoln. Lincoln Ross Burnett is no stranger to Scotland, he grew up there until he was sent to live with relatives in London at twelve years old. To stay in Scotland would surely be his own demise for a nasty and bitter feud was raging around him, marking him as a target of a brutal gang of 'savages' who were going by the name MacGregor. Now as he falls for the Scots beauty Melissa, he is reminded of his past and he also finds himself back into the feud for Melissa is the niece of those brutal 'savages' and they are once again targeting him. Can there love save him? Tracy Talley~@

Summary: Ehh it was okay
Review: I was thrilled at the thought of reading more about The Macgregor's after Love Me forever I was expecting something with a little more of a kick than wht the Pursuit had Melissa had spirit there was no doubt about it but the author din't do a go job in explain why she was they way she was usually her books are about a couple fighting the love that they have for one another but in this one melissa's loved ones were causing the problems. Lincoln the hero seemed more like a boy that thought that the whole world had wronged him in the end he excepts he was acting childish toward the McFearsons and he lets things be. This was an Okay book if you have nothing else to read, I just hope that Johanna Lindsey gets outs of her writting sulmp and gives us something that can we can copare wth her other hits.
