Summary: Excellent excerpt - I was captured from the first line!
Review: I read the excerpt from this book, and it was EXCELLENT! I do not usually read the Historical romances, but I had decided I definitely needed a change of pace. I have been reading Harlequin romance(intrigue, silouette,temptation) novels for years. For something different, I decided to give Historical romance a try. I read the excerpt from "A Gentleman Of Substance". Well, I certainly wasn't disappointed! It captured my attention from the very first line! Drake is such a strong-willed, no nonsense person, and I look for that type of character in the books I choose to read.I haven't had a chance to purchase the book as of yet, but I am certainly looking forward to it. If the entire book holds my interest like the excerpt did, well, I think I will definitely be sold on historical romances. Keep up the EXCELLENT work, Deborah! I look forward to many, many hours of enjoyable reading from your books!

Summary: A marriage of dire necessity...
Review: Lucy Rushton finds herself in the worst predicament for an unwed vicar's daughter in Regency England -- standing over the grave of her charming fiancé, Jeremy Strickland, on the very day she realizes she is pregnant with his child. When Jeremy's brother, the brusque and aloof Drake Viscount Silverthorne finds out about Lucy's condition, he offers her marriage, to rescue her reputation and to claim the child as his heir. This cool, practical arrangement is soon put to the test as Drake and Lucy learn more of each other. Soon they are hard pressed to master their unbidden desire for one another. Their budding love is threatened by Drake's scheming relatives, who will do anything to keep from being disinherited.

Review: Ms Hale has given us another best seller. Her style is lyrical and perfectly researched. She's given us a hero to die for and heroine to drive him nuts. Thanks for the great romance.

Review: This book was wonderful. What a fabulous love story! The plot twisted and turned so I could never second guess the next event. I was delighted with the outcome. I want a bookshelf full of Ms. Hales books and can hardly wait for her next one. Write FAST Ms. Hale!

Summary: If only there were more Drakes in the world!
Review: What a wonderful hero. Drake is more engaging than the "lovely" Lucy. But even Lucy rises above her shallow personality to shine in many ways. There are enough twists and turns to keep you guessing about what will happen next. A real page turner! Don't miss any of Deborah Hale's books. They are always wonderful!

Summary: That's what this book is about
Review: You know, that's what this book is about. It is jeolousy, it's deceitfulness, vindictiveness. You know, it's all those things. But I mean, God, what can Deborah Hale excpect when she is on top. It's like Napolean, you know, when he was king, and people were trying to constantly conquer him, you know, in the Roman Empire.
