Summary: Probably the weakest of Susan Johnson's novels
Review: After reading Susan Johnson's novel, A Touch of Sin, I rushed to find and read her other books. I've read her entire library and enjoyed every title. I was really looking forward to her new novel, To Please A Lady. I'm sorry to say that I was very disappointed in this book! It seems that Ms. Johnson has not put the effort into this novel that she has put into the others - as I was reading I wondered if the book was written to fufill a contract. Ms. Johnson's other novels were full of historical detail, great characters, and incredibly erotic love scenes. This books seems to be missing all of those! I never really liked the hero, and the heroine was the sterotypical romantic leading lady and not the strong woman that Ms. Johnson usually writes. The best part of the book was the prequel to Ms. Johnson's next, unnamed novel. Come back Susan, we miss you!

Summary: Don't Waste Your Time
Review: Clearly Susan Johnson has lost some of her earlier creativity. This book doesn't measure up to her others at all. I was amazed to see so many negative reviews, but since I love her writing, decided to disregard the reviews and buy it anyway. Big Mistake! I didn't even finish it. Next time, I'll read these reviews first.

Summary: Another Good Susan Johnson Book!
Review: I am a avid reader of all historical romances. I must say that I have found no other author who can touch a heart and soul like Susan Johnson. This book is one of my favorites...a sequal... Once again, showing why Susan Johnson is the best historical-romance author!

Summary: Entertaining
Review: I enjoyed this book and while I might agree that this is not Johnson's best work it was still very entertaining. I personally like the reverse May-December romance ( maybe because I'm the December end) and I think that strengthens the minority opinion that Mature women can indeed still hold an enormous sex appeal. Reading this book has spurred me on to order OUTLAW to get more of the history of these very intriguing characters.

Summary: To Please a Lady
Review: I have always enjoyed susan johnson's books, she has written some very good books in the past, but i was deeply disappointed with this one. There seemed to be very little in a storyline to the book. The characters were somewhat flat and at the end of the book, I was just a little baffled as to why it took that many pages for the story. but i did keep reading in vain that the story would pick up. Hopefully this is the only book i'll be disappointed with in her catalog.

Summary: To Please a Lady
Review: I have always loved Susan Johnson's books too, but this one is a real bummer. I guess it's a sequel to something I've read, but after reading 69 pages that seemed to start in the middle of a story, I'm not even interested in finding the earlier book. Who cares about an older woman with five children panting after an 18-year old kid. Come on, Susan, get back to Blaze-type writing, please.

Summary: A Very good book! Not great, but better than her last 2!
Review: I have read every Susan Johnson book there is to read. She is one of my favorite authors. Unfourtunately, this book is not her very best, but I would say it is very good. If you read "Outlaw", then you will remember Johnnie's brother Robbie from that book. I liked the story and the character of Roxanne, I wish there would have been more of a story between Robbie and Roxanne. Ms. Johnson is known for her great and erotic love scenes, and I wish there were more in this book! This is definitely a step up from the last two books she wrote. I wish she would get back to the style with which she wrote "Sinful & Wicked! I would recommend this book, though not her best work in my opinon, it ranks high enough for me to be a keeper!

Summary: SUSAN JOHNSON HAS NOT LOST HER TOUCH--EXCELLENT
Review: I loved the banter between Robbie and Roxie and the sizzling love scenes. Susan Johnson has not lost her touch she is a wonderful Romance Writer and keeps me enthralled, I'm anxiously awaiting her next book in summer of 2000. She has not disappointed me with any of her novels. I recommend any of her novels to anyone who wants to read a book you just can't put down.

Summary: A Good Historial Romp BUT Not SJ's Best
Review: I started reading this on a Thursday and finished it on a Saturday. Once again Ms. Johnson has created a romance reader's dream. The story line is full of intrigue and adventure. There are moments of humor and plenty of love and sex. The main characters, Roxane and Robbie, are in love BUT are fighting an uphill battle as they deal with the turmoil surrounding Scotland's bid to not be governed by England. Of course, Ms. Johnson inlcudes footnotes, granting us a very acute BUT easy to handle amount of Scottish history. I recommend this book BUT do not paint it as her best. The tension between the characters at times was tedious...too much petty jealousy BUT in the end they do end up happy...which was well worth the effort to finish this book. I am a big fan of Ms. Johnson and encourage romance lovers to pick up a copy of this book.

Summary: Don't waste your time or money on this subpar effort
Review: I used to buy Susan Johnson's books the moment they were published but not anymore. I wish I'd read some of the reviews before I shelled out my money.Here's my advice: Don't bother with this book if you're looking for an interesting hero, worthy of a strong heroine's love - the hero is an 18 year old Scottish Donald Trump (the Donald's money AND attitude toward women!). Don't bother with this book if you like to read stories where the main characters actually spend time together - they spend as much time apart as together with just a few love scenes. And please don't bother with this book if you enjoyed Ms. Johnson's sexy love scenes from Sinful, Wicked, or Blaze - you won't find enough here to make it worth reading. I suggest you re-read Sinful for the best of Ms. Johnson.
