Good Story! Unlikely Heroine !,
By A Customer
This review is from: Birds of a Feather (Signet Regency Romance) (Paperback)
An enjoyable story. I liked Joanna because she was not one of your run of the mill simpering schoolgirl miss ! She was strong, intelligent, independent, likeable and she spoke her mind. Lord Sedgewick, or Sedge was a dandy in disguise who's heroism and true good nature was notable. They were an interesting and unlikely couple which made it all the more fun :) Love can surpass even the separation of 'classes' in the Haute Ton of Regency England. *** The only thing that i would like to see happen is a change in the fate or story of Lord Ellisham aka Reggie ...Sedge's older brother. He was such a nice and sweet guy and its so unfair about his um 'condition'. I hope Allison Lane writes another story about him and how he finds love and happiness and a cure for his condition in America...that would be great :). Overall a good book tho :)

This review is from: Birds of a Feather (Signet Regency Romance) (Paperback)
This is a great book as funny as it is romantic and it is very romantic...... He is Lord Sedgewick Wylie, a seemingly careless and carefree arbiter of London fashions and more's ala Beau Brummel. She is Joanna Patterson, bespectacled and plainly dressed, careful and caring of others feelings. As similar as sand and sequins, they nonetheless keep meeting( tripping, bumping and falling) and soon the physical body scars are replaced by indelible markings on each heart. A remarkable romance that neither realize exists until yet another clumsy meeting renders them a Scandalous couple. I have always enjoyed Ms. Lane's books and this book is definitely one of her best- Read it and laugh, wince, Enjoy!!!

Non-Romance,
By AUPoohBear "aupoohbear" (New England, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Birds of a Feather (Signet Regency Romance) (Paperback)
Joanna Patterson, a homely vicar's daughter, has been hired as companion to Miss Harriet Wicksfield to act as chaperon for Harriet's first season, screen Harriet's suitors and keep Lady Wicksfield from over-spending her budget. All this is a tall order for a daydreamer like Joanna, but she prides herself on her intelligence and interest in helping others. Joanna's interests lead her into disaster as she continually crashes into Lord Sedgewick Wylie. Sedge is a dandy and a leader of the ton who prides himself on his perfect public appearance. Whenever he encounters Joanna, he meets with disaster. Joanna becomes tongue-tied around the arrogant lord and he believes her to be a brainless idiot. Joanna strikes up a friendship with Sedge's brother Reggie, Lord Ellisham and work together to find Harriet the perfect husband. Sedge is certain that Joanna is a desperate fortune hunter out to ruin his brother and their family. Sedge is determined to separate them, yet can't help but be attracted to Joanna's womanly figure. A public scandal and unhealthy family relationships create a lot of drama and nearly prevent these birds of a feather from realizing they belong together. The hero and heroine of this novel are truly not birds of a feather. Sedge is a rude, arrogant, selfish, snobby, pig who is nothing but cruel to Joanna. Joanna begins to understand that Sedge has a hidden side to him that's vastly different from his public persona but the story from his point of view does not develop his character sufficiently to really understand him or like him.
