Angel in Scarlet

Summary: So many hearts, so little time...
Review: Angie is young and naive. She falls in love with Hugh Bradford (Lord Meridith's bastard son) even with his moody ways and ugly looks. She looses to him her innocence, and is devistated when he leaves her. If things can't get worse for her, her beloved father dies, and her Stepmother, Marie, takes her off to England with her two daughters.
Angela has been in England for months. She has grown stronger after her ordeal with Hugh. She now works in Maries gambling house. One day, she sees a man from her past. Nope, it wasn't Hugh, sorry if i got your hopes up. It was Lord Clinton Merideth. The spoiled, rich aristocrat that had asked her to sleep with him when she was fifteen. Her stepmother sells Angela to him, and Angela runs away to live her friend Megan in Covenant Garden where she works as a seamstress for her other friend Dotty.
One day she is taken off the street by a man named Gainsborough. He asks her to sit for a painting. She reluctantly accepts. The painting becomes a hit. The Angel In Scarlet is known all over London, but no one knows her true identity...until she goes over to the theater, mends a dress, and, on short notice, is COMMANDED to be a walk on in the play by Jamie Lambert. Before she could do anything, she is pushed onto the stage and forced to say her lines. Big ooops when she is recognized as the Angel in Scarlet.
Angel is a beloved actress. She is wanted by many of the famous directors, and has a relationship with the owner of the Lambert Theater, Jamie Lambert.
Then, Hugh comes back into her life while Jamie is away. She tries to resist him, breaks off with Jamie, and like a fool falls back in love with Hugh. Hugh tells her that he will proove his legitimacy at ANY cost. He puts they're relationship on the line, and Angel is once again left with a broken heart. Oh, what to do...?
This is a great book. Angela Howard is wonderful heroin and is a very believable character. This is a very funny book and i loved the way Angela spoke to all those infuriating men. This is one of the greatest books i have ever read and i thank Ms.Wilde for writing it.

Summary: I can read this again and again
Review: I read this one when I was 14, and have since read it again. I change my mind about who she should be with each time. The heroine can survive on her own anyway, and she proves it over and over. A good read.

Summary: So many hearts, so little time...
Review: So many hearts broken in so little time. This book was wonderful in the fact that the ending was unpredictable. Angel doesn't mourn pitifully for a lost love throughout the entire book, as we see in so many others (including other Wilde books), and it is resolved quite well. Angel is a very believeable and loveable character with many strong traits. One thing I love about this book is the constant presence of what amounts to be a childhood nuisance. You'll have to see for yourself! It's definitely a great read.

Summary: waste of 600 perfectly good pages
Review: This book is not worth the time it took to read it. In the beginning you think Angela would end up with the supposed "hero", when that's not it at all. There are several times when Angela steps out of character. And in some instances when you deffinitly know that a man wrote this book. Even the time table was messed up. People in regency England did not give the finger, and tell people to go to ****. The only good thing about this book that was good was that you could really get into the story. And there were a few very funny scences.
