Summary: Three and a half, Predicable but Good
Review: I keep trying to read Suzanne Enoch's books and I can't like them! I'm going to get kicked off the page by all the four & five star reviewers, but this author just doesn't do it for me. It's strange, because it's all there; the writing is good enough, & the historical details; but the characters & the plots just don't hold my interest. I can't escape a "been there-done that" feeling when I'm reading her work. And I always have a hard time finishing her books! This is the third one I've tried and I have to say, I'll give her a pass from now on.

I also have to say I find her heroines somewhat childish or maybe it's naive. Or maybe it's the trouble they seem to get themselves into. The men are always more interesting in her works, than the women. Sorry, ladies, this author remains a ho-hum in my opinion.

Summary: This is what romance is all about...
Review: I love Suzanne Enoch's books - they're always entertaining and often laught-out-loud funny. But this one was different.

It wasn't good. It was fantastic.

The story of Robert's recovery is handled with such finess, I fell in love with him myself on page two and couldn't wait to see them together. I believed his reaction to the horrors of the war - and I felt it in no way impacted his manliness.

In fact it made him human. And dynamic.

This is one of the few romances I've read lately that I didn't feel the need to skip through. I read every word and enjoyed it all.

I can only hope that the completion of the lessons will not mean the end of this series. We've still got a few Carroway brothers to marry off, and I want to see these two settled...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Perfect Book.
Review: I loved this book! I have been eagerly awaiting Lucinda and Robert's story! I wish Suzanne would come out with a book every 6 months instead of once a year - it is hard waiting for them.

If you are a fan of the Lesson's in Love series - you will be satisfied thoroughly with this book - since you get to revisit all the characters from the other books.

I can only hope that her next book is about Bradshaw!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is why Suzanne Enoch is one of the best
Review: I loved this book. Not only do we get to revisit some old friends from previous books, but Robert Carroway is a unique and utterly wonderful hero. Gorgeous but tortured, he is believable and sympathetic; Lucinda draws him out of the shell he has become through simple acceptance and then love. Lucinda's "lesson in love" winds up being more a lesson for her than for her intended student; Robert learns a few things, too, thanks to implementing her list.

This story is warm, witty, touching, and divinely romantic. These two lovers are perfect for each other and splendid characters in their own right. One of the best in Enoch's series featuring this set of characters (the With This Ring & Lessons in Love series). While it would be nice to read them in order (as I did not) to fully grasp the interconnections, it's not essential. What is essential, is to include this title in your reading.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: i really loved it!!!

Summary: The best of Enoch's Lessons in Love trilogy.
Review: I only rate the first 2 books of this set 3's as they were standard regency fare....Teach the rogues good manners and fallin love with them. But in the second book I fell in love with "Bit", Roert Carroway, the tormented war wounded brother. He was so withdrawn and so pathetic and so tortured that I wanted desparately to look into his future. And then came "England's Perfect Hero". It is wonderful. Bit is a man driven beyond despair by the horrors of war and he finds the strength slowly to pull himself out of the depths of his nightmares. It reflects one man's strengths and it reflects the support system of family, the beauty of friendship and the miracle of being loved. It was much more than a "regency". I loved it. ONce I started it, I couldn't put it down until I finished it. Great characters, witty dialogue and good story.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Starts off stong, but ultimately inconsistant
Review: I was truly enjoying this book as it began. I am always drawn more to character driven romances than those powered by a mystery or event. My problem with the book is that the plot changes mid-story. Robert is a tortured hero in the beginning, having debilitating panic attacks and unable to converse with his family. In a matter of a few weeks, though (the whole story took no more than a few weeks from start to finish) he's completely overcome these problems, fallen in love, and solved the mystery of who framed him. I'm afraid I just don't buy it. I wish Ms. Enoch had just focused on Robert and Lucinda's relationship and left the mystery for another story. It didn't meld well with this one. To add this element, she had to resolve Robert's problems much too quickly.
