Summary: Lady Delafont's Dilemma
Review: I was really disappointed with this book. I had enjoyed the first book so much and was really looking forward to reading Lady Delafont's story. What a letdown! I know that married couples can grow estranged because of a lack of communication, but this story was a bit of much. Did none of the more sympathetic relatives/friends never think of stepping in and shaking this couple (esp the husband). The only justification I can find for this story is that it seems to serve as a conduit to the next installment. Lady May, a character that crops quite prominently in the first two novels, is I believe to be the main character in the next book. And as she has proved to be a more interesting character than Lady Delafont, I will probably wait to read the next book, and hope that the story is worthy of the lady.

Summary: DISAPPOINTING....
Review: I was truly disappointed. I enjoyed Emily's character in the first book, but she did not hold my interest here. I did not think her a worthy heroine. And her husband truly did not deserve the title as hero. Both characters were very wimpy and the misunderstanding was just stupid. And why did her husband's mistress have such a strong presence? I think that just takes away from the romance of the book.

Summary: A DEFINITE KEEPER!
Review: In my opinion LADY DELAFONT'S DILEMMA is definitely a 5 star keeper. A sequel to Donna Simpson's LORD ST. CLAIRE'S ANGEL it tells the story of Lady Emily Delafont, aunt to the heroine of previously mention book. Why did I rate it five stars? #1 - It has a wonderfully diverse and fully developed cast of characters. #2 - It is a touching tale of how young love shadowed by doubts, assumptions and miscommunication falls by the wayside only to re-emerge later stronger and better for the adversity it has been through. #3 - It didn't take until the last page for the hero and heroine to realize they still cared for each other, even though they still had trials and misunderstandings to work through. #4 - It has an overweight heroine who is portrayed as beautiful AND desirable and (shock) she doesn't lose the weight by the end of the book! (Superficial I know but a nice change nonetheless.) And #5 - Last but definitely not the least, LADY DELAFONT'S DILEMMA has a wonderful epilogue. I love epilogues as I feel they tie the story together and this epilogue is very touching and left me feeling very satisfied. I could go on and on but I just wanted to let readers know that if they are looking for a touching, romantic story about love and the growth it goes through they shouldn't pass up this book.

Summary: Mispublished Book
Review: Really I must starting by explaining my rating. This book is somewhat of a mystery to me. I am not really sure if I like it or not, so it gets a middle vote. It does not fall within the usual parameters of the Zebra Regency line, either, causing my biggest confusion. In my mind, the book deserves a PG-13 rating, completely not conforming to the PG standard.This book tries to push present day social ideas into the past. I specifically address the constant reference to Lady Delafont's weight gain. Two stone constitutes about 20-25 pounds. This small amount of weight gain would only really concern people today. Back then, it was barely anything, and, socially, people would probably think that Lady Delafont was looking quite healthy. I will not even get into the gay references other than to say it highlights the large amount of sex or sexual reference in this book. I honestly think that this book has confused and upset so many people because it was not properly published. Those of us who read Zebra Regency expect a certain type of book, just as those who read Harlequin expect a book along Harlequin's standards. This book does not belong in the Zebra Regency line.

Summary: 0 stars if possible
Review: While it seems that most romance novels, especially regencies, have one or two misunderstandings in the book to keep the central romantic couple apart, this book was just unending with the misunderstanding. For a couple to be so in love and not even discuss the situation in some fashion was just plain silly. And as a reader, very frustrating. And why did not any of the other people milling around in the story step in? It just did not work. Page after page it just baffled me that they were separated and for what? It just turned me off to the whole story.
