The situations aren't entirely preposterous and her characters are 3-dimensional and very likable. And she tries to deal with some of the social issues of the time, while keeping it pretty light and easy. So if you love historical romance and love to laugh, cheer on, and groan with the characters then this book and this series are for you. (  ) shadiphoenix | Apr 2, 2008 |  [close] I love Sally MacKenzie's books. The passion and laughter just jump off the page. However, this was not one of her best tales. If you haven't read her books before, I suggest starting with the Naked Earl or the Naked Marquise as both are much better. The passion was there, the humor was there, but there were too many issues that could have been solved with ONE conversation...that should have taken place WAAYYY earlier in the book!! The secondary story also just confused me rather than added any value to the story... The actions of both lead characters left me wanting to clout them both over the head...numerous times! As I said, I normally love her books and will still buy the next one. So unless you're a diehard fan...pass this one by. (  ) jjmachshev | Mar 22, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 082178076X, Paperback)He Couldn't RefuseJohn Parker-Roth cannot believe that marriage is necessary for his happiness. He would far rather pursue his interest in horticulture, but if one day he should find a female who shared his passion for flowers--a level-headed, calm sort of female--he might reconsider. Certainly the lovely young woman who has just tumbled into his lap will not do, as she possesses neither of those admirable qualities. Yet Miss Margaret Peterson does have many things in her favor. To begin with, she is a true English rose, blushing a delectable pink. And she is not entirely clothed. Her full mouth begs to be kissed. If only she would not wriggle so...oh, dear. He cannot ignore the sudden vision of her in his bed, but he must. What? Is Meg actually asking him to kiss her? Well, well, well. John Parker-Roth is a gentleman, first and foremost. And he cannot turn down a lady's request... (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:23 -0400) The first test round has been closed. Visit the Open Shelves Classification group for details. |
