Rating: Summary: Brit's Lady A HIT! Review: I have just finished Brit's Lady and found it to be even better than Ms. Dee's first two books, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I loved Callista and Brit's story and laughed at the scene where Callista set out to seduce Brit. What I also enjoyed was seeing Geronimo portrayed as a real person instead of a killer. Ms. Dee weaves her stories around historical events and people with amazing insight. If you like Romance, Excitement, and History, you'll love Brit's Lady.
Rating: Summary: Brit's Lady----The Author's best to date Review: I loved this book! I think it is the author's best to date and I look forward to her next.I found myself thinking about the characters and their situation while I was at work----I was anxious to get back to the book. The hero and heroine are such believable, good people. They are funny and real and you feel as if you know them or, at least, that you would like to know them. Their love story is not without adventure and/or "problems" like being captured by Geronimo. However, they take it in stride and react to situations like adults. You don't find yourself wondering how he/she could be so stupid. This is a book the reader can become immersed in--you feel as if you are part of the story. The author includes many historical milestones and facts so that you are learning some history very painlessly (i.e. Mary Renault). I highly reccomend this book. I enjoyed it and kept it to read again (instead of putting it in the bag for the used book store.)

Rating: Summary: A Thumbs Up for Brit's Lady Review: I loved this book, it was a quick read and pulled me immediately into the characters' personalities. I found myself thinking of Brit and Callista and that compelled me back into the story. I wanted a happy ending for this couple and was rewarded. I liked Callista's dispatches back to her newspaper although it was stretching my imagination a bit that her alter-ego, R.C. Warwic, could have such a well-known reputation to carry to people in the West. People tend to remember the story or the scandal, not the byline. However, the story was romantic and took place in another time. That's what I bought it for, to be transported on a romantic adventure. I was handsomely rewarded.
Rating: Summary: Exciting western romanc Review: In 1883, soldiers escort Callista Warwick and her mother through Apache Territory to join her father, the new commander at Fort Bowie. In the Arizona Territory, Indians attack her party. Lieutenant Caruso informs the Easterners that he will keep bullets available so that the Apaches never capture the two women. Just when it looks like their deaths will be inevitable, Britton Chance charges through the Apache line and saves the day. Former soldier turned rancher Brit meets Callista who he thinks of as Miss Starch. He becomes cold when she stays aloof. As Brit and Callista become better acquainted they fall in love. However, her father plans for her to marry a dedicated officer not some former chief of scouts. Britt believes that Callista's father is selling rifles to the renegades but knows that if he reveals his suspicions he will lose his beloved. BRIT'S LADY is an exciting western romance that is filled with non-stop action. The story line reads like a western novel because the romance takes a secondary role to the active plot line. The lead couple is an interesting pair yet the reader will never understand their motives unless they have previously read the wonderful prequel DESTINY'S WARRIOR that provides insight into Brit. Western romance fans that gain pleasure from novels that emphasize the western over the romance will enjoy Kit Dee's exciting tale.
Rating: Summary: Brit's Lady Shines Review: Kit Dee's adventure set in the Southwest depicts the compelling life of Calista Warwick and Britton Chance. Twists and plot changes hold your interest as Dee spins a literary web. A must read.
Rating: Summary: What's with the d.o.t.s.? Review: While Brit's Lady is a fast-paced romance, it's sort of like eating fast food in that it's also unmemorable. The hero and heroine have possibilities, the story has possibilities, but an over-the-top villain and an over-exhuberant. . . use . . . of . . . dots, especially in the love scenes, render the story just a tad less than average. The rendering of Indian live, though, and the weaving in of historical figure Geronimo, is better than in many Indian romances. There's no "Tonto-speak," thank goodness! But while this part of the story seems realistic, the remainder does not. I read this book the same week I read Lorraine Heath's Never Love a Cowboy. In comparison, this pales dreadfully. My recommendation? Go for the Heath and you won't be disappointed. TTFN, Laurie Likes Books Publisher, All About Romance
