Summary: Another good one for Simmons!
Review: Because I love the writing of author Deborah Simmons so much, I've forbidden myself from reviewing her at my own site (All About Romance). But nothing can stop me here from telling you how delightful I found The Gentleman Thief.

While this author is equally at home writing intense medievals, she sparkles like a jewel with her witty and sexy historicals set in and around the regency period.

If you enjoy words so witty that even the names of characters can make you laugh, and if you enjoy delicious love scenes, please give this one a try. I believe Deborah Simmons is as good, if not better, than Amanda Quick, and if you have loved some of Quick's older regency-set historicals, trust me that you'll adore Simmons' as well. My favorites by Simmons? The Vicar's Daughter (A+), The Last Rogue (A), this one (B+), and The Devil Earl (also B+).

Had this one not lagged ever-so-slightly at the end, it would have gotten an A from me as well.

Summary: Simmons does it again!
Review: Deborah Simmons has got to be the biggest buried treasure amongromance authors that I know! While perhaps not as fabulous as TheLast Rogue of The Vicar's Daughter, *any* lover of witty and sexy regency-set historicals should love The Gentleman Thief. Just about everything works in this book, although it does bog down slightly towards the end, only to be redeemed by a sparkling souffle of a finale.

Summary: Not worth reading
Review: I stumbled upon one of Simmon's books 'The Devil Earl' on a discount rack in a used book store several weeks ago. Since then, I have been able to get ahold of several more of her books and with the exception of one that I did not like I am hooked. Simmons style of writing provides strong heroes and stronger heroines. The combination, with her style of writing, is dynamite! I just finished reading 'The Gentleman Thief' ( and with the possible exception of it not being as 'racy' as her other offerings), I was not disappointed. The book was great. Some of the scenes are so funny that I almost made myself sick laughing! The book is basically a lighthearted romp (although there are some tense moments) with two main characters who are made for each other. Simmons has a nice style of writing that will keep you reading. I'm not much of a fan of Harlequin, but Simmons is definitely worth a read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Spectacular
Review: This was the first romance book I had ever read. I was one of those girls that was strictly interested in fantasy, wizards etc. But since then I have become a hopeless romantic. I have at least 11 other romance books and none of them even competes with this book. It has romance, an actual plot and is riviting with suspense. If you have to read one book this summer let it be this one.
