The London Belle

Rating:
Summary: A Regency with hidden treasure...
Review: A warm 'hello' to all Regency Romance fans. I thoroughly enjoyed writing The London Belle, especially researching those intriguing old monastery ruins that dot England's landscape. Although the hidden treasure in "Belle" was purely fiction, I would like to think that even in 1999 such a treasure really could exist, still buried in those old ruins. I enjoy hearing from fellow Regency fans.

Summary: Shirley Kennedy is the BEST!
Review: I didn't know a Regency Romance could be so riveting until I started reading Shirley Kennedy's books. Her writing has depth, her characters are real, and her stories are awesome. I'm looking forward to the next one!

Summary: Kennedy captures the era with flair
Review: London Belle is fast paced, emotional, and captures the era to a tee. Shirley's characters are well drawn and she has a knack for surprising her reader. I enjoyed her first book "Lady Semple's Secret" and loved "London Belle" even more. Who could resist a story of fortunes lost, family secrets, castle ruins, a jeweled chalice that brings out the best and the worst in those who possess it, and a rogue hero to die for? With each book, Shirley becomes a stronger writer and more engrossing storyteller. If you like Regency, "London Belle" is a must read.

Summary: The London Belle rings true and clear!
Review: The author of The London Belle is to be commended for her skillful recreation of the Regency era. I felt tranported in time, as if I were living alongside her characters. Ah, and such marvelous characters they were. . . Shirley Kennedy treats her readers to a wonderful blend of wit and wickedness, all the while pulling the heartstrings with a passion not to be denied!
