Summary: Uninvoling characterizations
Review: I love Joan Wolf romances. I find the intensity and depth of feelings expressed by her characters truly unique and impressive. This book was the exception. It was well written and the background story was well thought out, but this was a romance novel and I just absolutely did not like the heroine and hero...I never warmed up to them and as a result, I really didn't care if they got together or not. I found her to be spoiled, shallow and bigoted and to me he lacked charisma. I was really disappointed with this book, but I admit that I will still buy Ms Wolf's next book without hesitation.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Terribly Disappointed
Review: I love Joan Wolf's books, but this was a huge disappointment. It was nothing like her other books. This was a nothing but a formula romance. I find it hard to believe she wrote this, as it is so bad and so different from her other books. There was no character development; both the hero and heroine were shallow and uninteresting. I hope her next book isn't like this one!

Summary: Great as usual but...
Review: I loved this book, I only wish there had been more development of the hero and a little more danger. The book was good but not strong enough.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: No all that bad.
Review: I've never read a Joan Wolf book before, therefore I had nothing to gauge it by. I liked the book. The idea of someone wanting to marry for love is quaint but I can't fault her either. Just because someone is handsome don't mean you have to sleep with them, there are some really good looking guys that are so wrapped up in themselves they don't have time for anyone else.

A lot of people married for convenience not for love. And given the option to marry and get rich or not marry and remain poor, I'd choose married in a minute. The coming together of the two is what makes the book and a little suspense makes the book interesting.

I don't understand all the complaints about the book, I've read plenty of bad, gosh awful books before and this is not one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A winning romance
Review: In May 1813, the Earl of Hartford is disgusted with his daughter for her continual rejection of the most leading eligible males of the Ton. Alexandra wants to marry for that silly notion of love. Knowing he is ailing and worried about Alexandra's future, the Earl decides he must take action. Five months later, the Earl dies in the arms of one of the girls working at London's Madame Dufour's establishment. Even more shocking is his will that insists that his daughter must wed the benefactor of his will or both will be cut off with no income.

Initially, Alexandra thinks her cousin Geoffrey is the heir, but five months later Scotsman Niall MacDonald arrives with a stronger claim. As Niall and Alexandra agree to a marriage of convenience, they begin to fall in love with one another. However, accidents that seem deliberate start to befall Niall. Working as a team, Niall and Alexandra struggle to uncover the identity of the individual trying to kill him.

SOMEDAY SOON is an engaging Regency romance starring two exhilarating lead charcaters. Although the identity of the villain seems obvious, the who-done-it adds to the overall excitement of the tale. Alexandra and Niall make a captivating pair whose love shines throughout the novel even as their relationship fills the book with humor. Best-selling author Joan Wolf writes a pleasant historical romance that will satisfy her fans.

Summary: Joan Wolf is the best!
Review: No one writes romance better than Joan Wolf. She writes so well and understands the best stories are character-driven. Plus, with so many romance writers tending toward tawdriness, Ms. Wolf is a class act indeed! I enjoyed this book but I must confess I really enjoy those books of Ms. Wolf which are written in first person (I recommend The Pretenders or her short story "The Antagonists" in the compilation Captured Hearts). I've been reading Joan Wolf since she wrote Signet Regencies and most everything she's written in this genre is a keeper!

If you've never read her books, do yourself a favor and seek them out!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: No all that bad.
Review: Someday Soon by Joan Wolf is definitely not an easy book to read. It contains chemistry, excitement, and intrigue, but also some heart breaking turn of events that one does not really know what to feel about. However, I am giving it 4 stars because the book's premise - the impossible conditions of Alexandra's father's will - provided some predictable but exciting and explosive encounter between the hero and the heroine. I did get quite annoyed with the way Niale was treating Alexandra toward the end, but given his circumstances, I thought his behavior was reasonalbe.

Rating: 4 stars
