Summary: Loved it!
Review: I loved this book! It was fasinating and I enjoyed how the two fell in love. Suzanna and Ian are wonderful together but I wish that we could find out what happened to them after he came back from England to reclaim Suzanna: Kids, Home, live in the states or England? This could have been an opportunity for the author to begin a saga! Finding love for all of the sisters in each installment!

Summary: Breathtaking Romance
Review: I loved this book. I've read it twice, and I still cannot get over the incredible romance that Susannah and Ian share. I loved Susannah's family, and only hope that in the future, Karen Robards will revisit Susannah's sisters and write their stories of romance. The intimate scenes between Ian and Susannah will take your breath away. The ending will make you smile and laugh, and the relationship between the two lovers will keep you in stitches of laughter and in near tears simultaneously. I recommend this book wholeheartedly. Read it and you'll know what I'm talking about.

Summary: For un upgraded version, try "Dark Torment". Skip this one.
Review: Karen Robards did a good job of telling her story about a family in the deep south in 1769. Most of us have little knowledge of the everyday life during that time so Robards did a good job of researching her subject. Religion plays a big part in the family life of a southern preacher--her father. His four daughters are who the story centers around. Susannah is the key person who shows southern hospitality and sweet innocence in the matter of the heart. The scene is ripe for her to be swept off her feet by a young dashing--reprobate. Robards spins her yarn telling how these two opposites' paths cross and love blossoms. This was a quick and interesting read. It has a wonderful twist on the prince charming subject. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in learning about southern comfort, history, sibling rivalry and the rags to riches theme.--- Beverly C. Sanders

Review: Karen Robards is one of my favorites. Her more recent book, "Dark Torment", is extremely similar to "Nobody's Angel", and surpasses it in character development, plot and tension.
"Dark Torment" is the much better version, and I recommend you skip "Nobody's Angel" and go to the real thing.
Suzannah's and Ian's relationship seemed slow, and there wasn't much tension (until the end on the ship).
There was continuous reference to Suzannah's religious beliefs, but she fell into bed with Ian with almost no urging. Not too believable and overly hypocritical.
I feel the end was also anti-climactic, and felt that Robards had included too many unnecessary secondary characters. They just got in the way.
My advice read "Dark Torment".

Summary: try something else instead
Review: Nobody's Angel is the story of a prim, eldest daughter of a preacher who is a mother figure to her three sisters who falls in love with a wrongfully convicted Marquis who is sold to her as an indentured servant. I don't think that I could have read the words "prim" and "mother-figure" any more times than I did in the first half of the book. Unfortunately, there is no chemistry between the characters - they are fairly boring and uninteresting. I think an important facet to romance novels is that you should fall in love with the characters as you read - that isn't possible with Susannah or Ian or the Redmond family. Robards attempts to establish the 4 sisters as a "Little Women" group but fails. They have none of the charm of Alcott's characters. The writing and dialogue is mediocre at best. Don't waste your time on this book...I realized that pretty early on but I read up until 3/4 of the book before I realized that it couldn't be redemmed and then just skimmed through to get to the predictably unsatisfactory end. Pick up a McNaught or Brandewyne novel instead.

Summary: Pretty Steamy!
Review: This book was amazing after the first initial chapters. I drug myself throught the first 5 chapters. It starts out really boring and i wonder why my best friend is telling me to read it. Then, out of the blue, they're going at it like crazy! It's pretty steamy when it gets to the "intimate" parts. I completely recomend this one! Eventually you will feel like you are Suzanna and Ian has just swept you off of your feet. It's pretty good stuff! P.S. This girl gets FREAKY!!

Summary: Wonderful story
Review: This is a story that is a bit different than the normal boy gets the girl. In this case the girl buys the boy. She buys a "bound man" to help out of the farm, in spite of someone else warning her about him being to dangerous. Well she gets more than she has bargened for (in the love dept.) and less in the farming department (he was a Marquis in England) thought I didn't understand all of the timing of the book. It was a very enjoyable read with a strong woman character who kept her strong personality and convictions.
