Rating:  Summary: really great!!!! Review: Hey, I really liked this one, really good. A lot of humor, and a hero that thinks like a man. A load of funny characters, and ofcourse the happy ending. This sort of reading should be pure fun escapism, but well written pure fun escapism. This book delivers 100%
Rating:  Summary: Barbara Metzger: The Queen of Comedy Review: I am a huge fan of Barbara Metzger. Her books are a delight on every page, and "Miss Lockharte's Letters" is no exception. I was lucky enough to find a copy of this book: Hopefully, you'll be lucky, too.Rosellen Lockharte thinks she's dying of a fever. In a moment of delirium, she writes letters to the people who have left impressions on her short life. Of course... she doesn't die, and the embarrasing letters have already done their damage. Now, she thinks someone's out to murder her! Much to her dismay, Lord Stanford (he was the recipient of one of her more hateful letters) comes to her rescue! The whole book is just a comedy of errors. It's an absolute riot! Rosellen has more pluck than any heroine I can remember. Lord Stanford is dashing, but imperfect (who wants a PERFECT hero?). The Heatherstone twins (a couple of red-headed cooks) are absolutely hilarious--as is "Buck." (I don't want to spoil anything for you). Get this book! I smiled the whole way through, and I laughed out loud! Let Barbara Metzger treat you to her delightful humor! (For a similar experience, find a copy of "Snowdrops and Scandalbroth" and "The Primrose Path." Though are also hilarious Metzger novels!)

Rating:  Summary: Farce with wonderfully inept villains Review: It all starts because Miss Lockharte thinks she is dying. She's going to dye, so she might as well tell people what she really thinks. She writes a few letters to get some things off her chest. She forgives those who have done her wrong -- except the arrogant Viscount Stanford. But she doesn't die. And the letters go out anyway. The results range from attempted "rescue" by inept twins to attempted murder by inept villains. There is a romance, of course, but it doesn't have a strong part in this story. It is overshadowed by the farce. I think a stronger romance would have made this book a keeper. If you prefer farce to romance, you might love this book even more than I did. Anne M.

Rating:  Summary: A true Metzger and another keeper. Review: Metzger's characters continue to be off beat and refreshing while remaining true to the Regency period. Miss Lockhart's letters set of a chain of coincidences that seem so hilariously logical that the reader finds it hard to put the book aside until the end. I would have re-read it immediately but my sister was demanding her turn to read it. I love a book that causes me to chortle, chuckle, and guffaw. Metzger always delivers.
Rating:  Summary: A delightful Confection of a Regency Romp Review: Miss Lockharte's Letters is a delightful confection of humor, intrigue, and romance.When Miss Lockharte decides in a delirium to castigate those who snubbed her in her short unhappy life, she sets off a chain of improbable events including murder,espionage,and the discovery of true love.Leavening this serious mix with a dash of wit and absurdity, Barbara Metzger displays her skill at handling the intricate plots and deft characterizations. This is a perfect read for a hot summer day.
Rating:  Summary: Highly Entertaining! Review: Miss Lockharte, who thinks she is dying, sends letters to people who have wronged her in the past, and tells them exactly what she thinks of them, and it is not pretty. Oh, no, she does not die but the letters had already been sent. Even her letter to the handsome Viscount Stanford. This regency farce is fun, quick reading but I also think the book could have been a little longer on the romance between Miss lockharte and the Viscount. The farce is fun, but readers read regency romances for - yes, romance!

Rating:  Summary: really great!!!! Review: This book was so hilarious that it took me twice as long to read it as usual because I kept having to take off my glasses and wipe the tears out of my eyes, and it got even more so toward the end. A refreshing switch from the gut-wrenching historicals I've been reading lately! Too bad there aren't more entertaining "sweet" romances out there!
