Summary: Interesting, but somewhat confusing; lacks passion.
Review: The book was interesting but somewhat confusing as there were too many characters and the love story never had a chance to truly develop -- one minute the lovers hold themselves apart; the next they're in love. There is a character in 'The Offer', Richard Clarendon that sounds like he would make an intersting leading man...

Summary: 'The Offer 'is a good old fashion love story!
Review: The Offer is a patterned after a good old fashion love story. Like many of Coulter's books, the characters are extremely 'British' in their wit, humor and their narrow minded personalities. The plot is entertaining and keeps the reader interested enough to want to know the outcome.

Lady Sabrina flees her sister and brother in law's home after a an attempted rape, to only fall prey to pnemonia (lung inflammation) while traveling during a snow storm. She is found unconscious and face down in a snow drift by Viscount Derencourt. Viscount Derencourt, aka Philip, nurses her back to health during the storm in a hunting lodge. They enjoy each other's company even though Philip knows Lady Sabrina is hiding her true identity. And of course the inevitable occurs; they are found together - and Lady Sabrina is a compromised woman with a tarnished reputation. Viscount Derencourt does not even receive a slap on the hand. She is banished and he is applauded. (Sounds like the Scarlet Letter). But alas, I shall not tell you more, read the book.

Coulter is slow moving for my particular taste, however, I did enjoy the tempo and characters of 'The Offer'.

Summary: Alright
Review: THis book had it's good moments and it really did have potential. Yet some parts were so confusting and the hero of the story seemed to changed once he wasn't alone in the cabin with her. Some loose ends are never tied up as well. If you just need a bit of very light reading this is your book just don't expect too much.

Summary: EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This book was a fast reader, I usually enjoy her books but you really fall for Phillip & Sabrina. They are an excellent pair. READ IT!!!!!

Summary: I'm glad I didn't live back in those days...
Review: This book was enjoyable but I wouldn't read it again. I felt bad for Sabrina for the way society was back in those days but it's just the way it was. Sabrina wasn't a typical women for that time period & she didn't want to put up with Philip having a mistress & was told by him that he would do as he pleased & that she would just have to deal with it. While reading this book I knew in my head what it was like in that day in age & didn't really let that get to me & give it a 1 star like many readers did. I didn't rate it higher then a 3 star because I wish the author would've been more descriptive & I didn't care for the ending. The last chapter was very boring to me & wasn't very relative to what had gone on in the book.

Summary: Quite Disappointed
Review: This was my first coulter's book. Most disappointed that I bought the book. I didn't want to judge her writing by this book so I go for another (Lord Harry) of hers. Same plot like hero nursing the naked heroin. I hope she can write better than this. I want to try another of hers, can anyone suggest?
