Summary: Based on Reality
Review: I loved this book and it is one of my all time favorites. The mystery is actually not too contrived, as someone suggested in another review. As they say, truth is stranger than fiction. Without giving too much of the plot away here, I found out after I read this book that these bad guys are based on fact. In my historical research on other topics, I found reference to this group of baddies. They were real. *shivers*

Summary: A Great Book!
Review: I loved this book; I could barely put it down. The characters easily came alive and the romance between the Duke and Bella was pure and sweet. There was also a great mystery and a wonderful ending. This is a great book for teens and those begining to read historical romances, but long-time regency readers should enjoy it too.

Summary: not quite as good as some of her others...
Review: I usually love Judith Lansdown'e regencies. Her characters are usually warm, funny and appealing. I enjoyed the romance between Bella and Diamond. I loved the funny situations, especially when the Diamond takes too much medicine. But I found the "mystery" in the story too overplayed and that actually took away from the romance that was so enjoyable. Certainly a good read but missed the mark. Sometimes it is okay to write a regency love story without all the secondary stuff that tends to be added to these sorts of stories.

Summary: very poor entertainment
Review: I wasn't able to finish this book because of the preposterous plot, wooden dialogue, and cardboard characters. My advice is that you NOT buy this book.

Summary: I loved this book very much.
Review: Judith A Lansdowne has written another winner here. I finally was able to purchase a copy this past weekend. I loved Diamond and Bella's re- lationship. I also liked the mystery in the story.

Summary: Another gift to readers from a talented author
Review: Judith A. Lansdowne lights the way to Regency England once again in this heartwarming story. Writing about lovable characters, with touches of sweetness and humor, Ms. Lansdowne's books are truly gifts to readers. I highly recommend all of this author's work. Rosemary Stevens
