5.0 out of 5 stars Romantic Comedy the way it used to be, December 3, 2000

By

This review is from: The Actress And The Marquis (Paperback)

"Actress and the Marquis" reminds me of a 1930s romantic comedy--everyone's constantly going in opposite directions without realizing, everyone has a conflicting agenda and if a conversation can be plausibly misinterpreted, it will be. The comic timing is great, and it's always nice to see a heroine who has some focus for her life other than whether or not she marries the hero. This is Holbrook's best book, a charming romantic romp.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorites!, December 29, 2009

I love pulling this book out to read when I need a fun read and a good laugh! I think it's cleverly written. It's delightful, romantic and funny. I like that the heroine is strong and intellectual. A great summer book.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book!, May 19, 1999

It was well written with plenty of humor, interesting situations, and lots of "action" (not action action, but isn't stale and slow moving, unlike some).
