Summary: Wonderfully Funny!
Review: Delightful story about an infamous Earl (Thomas) who's good luck is legendary and a young lady who tries his patience at every turn (Fia) - and makes him doubt that his legendary good luck is holding! Thomas is on a secret mission to Scotland where he was to steal a "letter" that could cause/prevent a war from the Laird (DUncan). As it's a "secret" mission, he has to steal into Duncan's home to search for the letter and that's when he falls for Fia - literally - or rather Fia pushes him out of the window. Entirely by accident of course! Fia is Duncan's ward and is also on a mission - of a personal nature - she's determined to be a London playwright... And she's a kind soul who collects old/stray animals in need of TLC - the author did an excellent job of giving personalities to these woebegone animals. Their many abuses to Thomas' good nature will have you smiling! I found one of the secondary characters, Robert, quiet interesting - there's definitely anoter story there! Robert is a reknowned coward (throughout Scotland), a dandy - and once very briefly impersonated a regal "lady." ONE LUCKY LORD is a Keeper!

Summary: Indeed,DON'T judge a book by its cover. Least, not this one!
Review: I have enjoyed Karen Hawkin's style of writing in both ABDUCTION OF JULIA and A BELATED BRIDE so when I found out Kim Bennet was one of her pseudonym, naturally I was pique to read this one book under that name. However, I must admit, I was very hesistant at first cuz the front cover looked very silly to me. The guy looked weak and sheepish-not fetching for my kind of hero at all. I don't know exactly what made me change my mind but I am truly happy I ordered it in the end. This book provided me with a wonderful LAUGH all throughout my day off. After a long week of hectic work load, ONE LUCKY LORD is a perfect company for days off like today. In addition to the Editorial Reviews and Kim Bennet's words herself... I'd like to add how much I enjoyed both Fia and Thomas. Their love story was convincing and heart warming to me because it took time to develop. All the secondary characters (& the comical animals) contributed a lot of spice to the story. Oh, the dashing, smooth talker Robert ~ I wish Karen Hawkin's would write a book just for him. I also love Duncan. A book just for him would also be an interesting read. My gosh, truly, how many books have made you smile, chuckle, giggle and then laugh out loud all in just one chapter? For me, It's "NONE" till this one.... I have never read such an all-out-amusing book, yet manages to be romantically touchy at the same time. Julie Garwood also holds a lot of humor in her works. That is why she is my top favorite author. I have enjoyed and loved her style eversince I begun reading historical romance novels but so far, base on this one, Karen Hawkin's/Kim Bennet's ONE LUCKY LORD simply topped it all in HUMOR. A lot of unbelievably comical and laughable scenes! Can't wait to lend this book to my sister. Oh, Umm... perhaps I should just ask her to buy her own copy. Can't part with this one just yet :-) Do yourself a great favor and read this book. Afterall, Laughter is indeed the best medicine.

Summary: Lots of Laughs
Review: I have read many romance novels and this first novel rates with the best. It has a great storyline and is full of laughter. I found the characters warm and real. I hope a story featuring Robert will follow. I am looking forward to her next book and many more in the future.

Summary: A wonderful first from Kim Bennet
Review: I think the grin started on page one and lasted until the very end. It's rare that I actually laugh out loud while reading, but I was chortling throughout. I'm in love with Lord Thomas, I want to be Fia and I want to read another book with Robert in it. This one is destined for the keeper shelf. I am eagerly awaiting the next book from Kim Bennet.

Summary: Lots of FUN!
Review: If you enjoy chuckling as you read or smiling so much your cheeks hurt... run, don't walk to buy One Lucky Lord. The chemistry between Thomas and Fia not to mention the cast of characters (Thunder, Zeus and Lord Thomas and of course Robert, how can I forget Robert) that bring this book to life will make you wish Kim Bennet had a backlist a mile long! Thank you Kim for bringing some laughter into my day, that alone is worth any price!

Summary: A laugh-out-loud love story
Review: This lively tale has it all--from two unlikely fugitives camping out in the Scottish wilds, to the high seas, to Queen Elizabeth's court to a tavern where spies and intrigue lurk. And did I mention a really cranky horse who hates Englishmen? This romance is certainly not love at first sight. The story opens when the spirited heroine, Fia, shoves the Earl of Rotherwood out a window. Although it takes a few chapters for love to develop, the laughs begin on the first page and continue all the way to the last. It's the only book I can remember reading lately where I actually laughed out loud during the epilogue! I can't wait for Kim Bennet's next book, and, as another reader mentioned, I'm really hoping that she'll give us a book about Robert soon!

Summary: You will ache for her next book!
Review: When Fia pushed Thomas out the window, I laughed. When Fia's horse sat on Thomas, I screamed. When Fia made the rabbit Thomas caught for dinner her pet, I just absolutely LOST it. This book is a MUST read!
