Summary: Just didn't seem as good as the others.
Review: I really enjoyed her previous books and this one was ok. But I especially enjoy books that make me laugh at the couples antics. This book just didn't do that for me.

Summary: Low key, but appealing romance.
Review: I've enjoyed Joan Wolf's regencies since I was a teenager. It's hard to describe, but her writing style has an aura of calm and rationality that makes the unfolding of the romance seem inevitable. In other words, they are real and more touching than more overwrought romances. Adrian's and Sarah's romance feels like a rain soaking into a bed of rosebuds. Adrian's the aristocrat who gives off an aura of noblesse oblige; Sarah, painter and merchant's granddaughter, is obviously meant to be a duchess despite her lowly birth. A beautiful romance.

Summary: One of my favorites
Review: Joan Wolf is a great writer. She takes the standard marriage of convenience plot and twists it into a truly interesting read. This was a bit of a departure for Joan because she actually let you see who the villian was, but I liked that. Her strength is in her characters and the bad guy's character was as well developed as the rest. I especially liked how the 2 main characters didn't fall in love at first sight. It was a gradual thing. Truly a winner.

Summary: Wolf gets applause with this book
Review: Joan Wolf is a name that is easy for me to buy before the reviews are read. She has a great way of developing engaging characters with humor, eloquence and deep-felt emotions. This book was more light weight than previous novels, but certainly worked for me. The faults would be the action parts of the book. I would want something more gritty, BUT that would change the tone of the story and another writer maybe.

Summary: charmingly sweet seduction
Review: The courtship is so charmingly sweet that you may fall in love; you will certainly understand why the herione did. If you tire of books where the hero and heroine spot one another across a ballroom and tumble immediately, irrevocably and often inexplicably into love, you will be seduced by Ms. Wolf's skilfull handling of the wooing. From the opening page until the wedding, Ms. Wolf writes a top notch romance. Unfortunately, after the wedding all we get is a "who's trying to murder the heroine"-type plot with little romantic tension.

Summary: AWLFUL!!
Review: This is the first and the last book I shall ever read from Joan Wolf. It was simply the worst romance I have ever read. No emotion. The main characters were more like subcharacters. The only reason why I gave it 2 stars was because the ending was interesting.
