Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I agree! It's not a keeper.
Review: I try very hard to give a book a chance- but this one was difficult to get through. I had to skip over parts until I came to some dialogue due to the description would continue on and on and on. It was not until I got 3/4's of the way through the story that really got interesting. The romance did not start until the end of the book. The story is great- but I agree with others that the characters were not even aware of each other. I don't recommend reading this one.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not a Keeper
Review: I was really disappointed with this book. The two characters are not aware of each other until almost the end of the book. Then the lead male character professes love for her without even really knowing her. This will go into my resell pile.

Summary: 5 stars if romance didn't begin at the end of book
Review: I would have given this book 5 stars if the romance didn't begin in the tail end of the book. I would have liked to see the love grow or maybe an epilogue. Otherwise it was a great book but I felt cheated with the ending.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Coulter could do better
Review: I've read Coulter before, and I have never had to skip ahead for any reason. This book, however, has made me do just that. She drones on and on and on without going anywhere. I found myself skipping to some dialog just for some action. Halfway through the book, you're still waiting for something to happen. Plain and simple, its boring. Granted, it was originally written earlier in her career, but I would think that in the rewrite, some events or occurrences may be added to spice it up a bit, especially after the many other wonderful novels she's written. I am sorely disappointed. I had to force myself through the rest of the book.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: awful
Review: It took me week to read it. Lord Harry was a joke! and I love C.C. books.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Yeah, sure, and a pair of glasses disguises Superman
Review: It was alright, I guess, but the ending just completely undid it for me

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: very tedious story
Review: Lord Harry seemed very interesting in the beginning as it's a great idea for a story.

Henrietta dresses up as a man to avenge her brother's death, which she thinks is caused by Jason the Marquess of Oberlon. Henrietta devises various schemes to bring Jason to anger so that he might fight a duel with her. This part took up 2/3 of the book.

It would not have been so boring if Jason had an inkling of who she was. Henrietta was described to be beautiful and feminine. Therefore, I couldn't understand why Coulter couldn't have had Jason see the resemblances and figure out Harry's real identity.

Throughout the first 2/3 of the book, Jason encounters Harry numerous times, each time ending in anger. He also sees the lovely Henrietta three times, once at a masked ball where she is dazzling as they waltz, and two other times when she had deliberately "uglied" herself up to a point where he doesn't recognize her at all.

Then, as the long awaited duel finally came, Henrietta is hurt and this is when Jason discovers that she is a girl. He brings her to his home and nurses her back to health. When she first wakes up however, she is still full of hatred for him. Then all of a sudden, after Jason explains his side of the story, Henrietta decides that this "murderer" must be telling the truth and directly proceeds to fall in love with him. And Jason, having met the "real" Henrietta only once at the masked ball, decides right then and there that he loves her. I know that stories are a suspension of reality, but I couldn't do it here. It just seems so impossible that they would be in each other's company for a week, most of that time was spent with Henrietta sleeping, and once she wakes up and hears Jason's explanation, ALL her hatred goes away and they are in LOVE? It's a bit hard to swallow.

Also, the romance was short enough as it was, but it was cut even shorter by unnecessary side stories including one where Harry goes to a whorehouse and saves one of the girls.

There's a sense that Coulter just ran out of interest in the book and finished it as fast as she could. Lots of underdeveloped characters and feelings, particularly between the hero and heroine, and lots of unneeded scenes and events. I was disappointed as it was my first from Coulter. A bit reluctant to read another...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderfully entertaining
Review: Lord Harry showed how truly different the lives of men and women were in that time period. The shananigans that he/she would get into. It was funny and yet suspenseful.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: VERY WELL DONE.
Review: MOST OF THE TIME WHEN AN AUTHOR REWRITES A BOOK SHE OR IT LOSES SOMETHING ALONG THE WAY.IN THIS CASE C.C. NOR THE BOOK LOST ANYTHING. IT IS BY FAR ONE OF THE MOST HUMOROUS ONES SHES DONE. MOST DEFINITELY A MUST READ
