How to Marry a Marquis

Rating:
Summary: Irritating
Review: While I enjoyed Ms. Quinn's light-hearted approach to her theme, and I found much of her humor witty and engaging, I did not like the book. I thought her fiesty heroine a complete cliche. I made my way through most of the book with no extreme quibbles, but I fairly itched with irritation when Elizabeth discovered James's true identity. Her indignation was irrational and went on and on ad insufferabiliam. Also, I wish someone would explain to Ms. Quinn and her copy editor the difference in usage between "lie" and "lay."

Summary: Excellent! A must read!
Review: I read this book in one sitting also. I couldn't put it down! I loved the romance between James and Elizabeth and cried when I read Lady Danbury's letter at the end. The entire book was witty and entertaining. I loved the humor and James love for Elizabeth. I loved To Catch an Heiress, and I might add, it was fun to see Blake and Caroline back in this book, but I liked To Marry a Marquis just a bit better. I've ordered Everything and the Moon from Amazon and can't wait to read that! Good work Julia!

Summary: Refreshing, humorous and light-hearted romance
Review: For those readers who have grown tired of the heavy-handed, overly-dramatic romances, this is the book for you. I don't want to read another book where the unyielding, yet sympathetic, hero finds himself bleeding on the battlefield only to realize that he loves the beautiful heroine. Will he live long enough to express his true feelings? Of course! How to Marry a Marquis is the antithesis to the heavy-handed romance. Julia Quinn has crafted a charming story about a beautiful (of course), uncoordinated, soft-hearted girl who falls in love with a man who is not what he pretends to be. I laughed out loud while reading the book! I am looking forward to reading Quinn's next endeavor.

Summary: Touching and funny
Review: After reading "To Catch an Heiress" I couldn't wait to read James story. I was not dissapointed! The dialog between all the characters was snappy and really kept me interested. The book worked so well for me because of the balance of humor and drama. When she discovered his secret and the two had a huge fight I cried for pages!! I sure hope Ms. Quinn plans to write more about the Hotchkiss family, especially Susan. Also, I liked having Blake and Caroline from TCAH appear in this book and hope to hear from them and James and Elizabeth again. Thanks for a great read!

Summary: Absolutely adorable, great book
Review: This book was great. The characters were likable and deep. When John desribes his feelings, I sighed. There was actual dialog that evolved into love. It wasn't a "first look" then love, it evolved from 2 mutual personalities. There wasn't any violence, (Like Rosmary Rogers and her slap happy hero's) In this book you actually believe that they are falling in love. The only thing i didn't really like about this book were the countless visits by the crew of TCAH. It got kinda annoying after awhile. All in all this was a great book, i really recomend that you purchase it, it's worth the money.
