Rating: Summary: Excellent, as usual Review: I have read every single one of Dara Joy's books (a couple of them more than once), and this is the book responsible for me discovering her. I LOVE this book. I laughed practically all the way through it, earning me strange looks from friends and co-workers. I really enjoy how she puts humor in the story, even in the middle of her love scenes, of which there are plenty. Her characters are so real with their foibles and habits. Chloe and John just seem like a couple that was meant to be, and their chemistry heats up the book. If you like a story that will make you laugh, and still delivers a believable and hot love story, read this book. (Note to Ms. Joy: Please, please, write a book about the Black Rose! )
Rating: Summary: a great book with lots of humor. Review: I liked this book but not as much as I have the other books by Dara Joy. This one is a historical that is packed with very interesting secondary characters that drive the hero, Lord John Sexton crazy. His heroine, Chloe, has decided to set her trap for the Lord of Sex, as he has come to be known. They have known each other since childhood and are very close friends. She tells him that she wants to be a "Rake" like him and needs him to teach her how to go about it. And since it is unheard of for a unmarried woman to have sex she asks him to marry her so that it will not be considered such a scandal. He agrees but isn't quite sure what he has agreed to. He cares for her but is afraid to really love her and she must convince him that he really does love her. Its a wild tail that leaves you cheering in the end. I laughed at the humor and blushed at the sensual love scenes. They are hot!. I will still recommend this book to anyone.
Rating: Summary: New Spin on Regency Novels Review: I love Dara Joy books and this one was no exception.....it has the steamiest plot line I've ever read....also, there are several laugh out loud situations...I love it!
Rating: Summary: Not as good as others Review: I love this woman's books, but this one was, well, just not up to her snuff. Oh, it was a great book and all, but I gave it four stars and not three because I think it's good if you're into that kind of book. I just didn't like it like I did Mine To Take or High Energy (my two favorites by her). I'd suggest reading it, it's not a horrible book, but it's just not HER best. Sarah Pearson
Rating: Summary: Stunning! Take it and you'll be hooked on this author. Review: I loved this book, it's characters and Dara Joy's fabulous wit.From the start Chloe had me on her side and her irresistable rake had me drooling. This story succeeded in being both hilarious *and* touching and I recommend it as a wonderfully romantic read, though beware, I've been reading Joy ever since.
Rating: Summary: Laugh till you Cry! Funny, Sexy~Can't Put Down! Review: I picked this book up and couldn't put it down. It was awsome. Sub-plots that add to your imagination. Including The Black Rose. When I realized he was Disguised as the fop, Lord Percy, I couldn't hold back the Chuckles. Now I can hardly wait to hear his story. Ms.Joy is the best at rounding out her characters,even down to the Little Dog Schnapp's. I felt like I knew every Character in the Story and Wished I was there to actually enjoy being with the different personalities....Read This Book...You Won't be able to Put it Down...A KEEPER!
Rating: Summary: OK but not her best Review: I read Mine to Take just before I read this book; I don't think Tonight or Never is nearly as good. The romance was OK. It had some cute moments but almost all the romance seemed to consist of was sex, and this sex did nothing for me. I found myself skipping ahead to get back to the story. But chacun a son gout (also the name of the estate in the book). There are some very funny scenes and I liked the Scarlet Pimpernal subplot. But where Mine to Take set me on fire, this one was for me just an amusing read.
Rating: Summary: tonight or never? NEVER Review: I read that there were others out there that actually enjoyed reading this book by dara joy. Are they serious? did they actually read the whole content of the book? Lord Sex? Interesting...but the characters didn't convince me. Sure there were plenty of sex written into the book...but where was the romance? Ya know, the humor, the connection the courtship? If you want to love the characters and the written word, read Judith McNaught's "Whitney, my love" Here's an excerpt... "Whitney instantly sensed his presence as if it were a tangible force, something powerful and magnetic. She even recognized the elusive, tangy scent of his cologne. But she scarcely recognized his voice; it was raw with emotion, a hoarse, aching whisper. "Miss Stone-I adore you." The shattering tenderness of the words sent a jolting tremor up Whitney's spine, reaction which was not lost on Clayton. He saw her stiffen, and for one chilling second he thought he'd only imagined what had happenedbetween them in the church, but then she took an imperceptible step backward. Very lightly, he felt her lean against him. His breath froze at the exquisite sensation of her body pressing against him. He dropped his hand to her waist, gently sliding it around in front of her, drawing her nearer and tighter to him. And she made no resistance at all...but stodd quietly in his embrace." Hey, to each their own...
Rating: Summary: SEXY AND DELICIOUS ROMP! Review: I really enjoyed this one by Dara. It was just so much fun and you could tell she was having fun writing it. Like all her heroes, John was sexy sexy sexy and I really liked Chloe alot. The story was very funny and fast paced. If you like to smile and you like Regencys this is the book for you.
Rating: Summary: HOT, WONDERFUL, EXCITING Review: I THOUGHT IT WAS A WONDERFUL BOOK. FULL OF REAL EMOTION AND REAL PASSION. INTELLIGENT AND WELL THOUGHT OUT. FUNNY I LAUGHED AND CHEERED FOR CHLOE ALL THROUGH THE BOOK.
