5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of the Six Sisters, March 15, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: DIANA THE HUNTRESS (Mass Market Paperback)

Diana, hands down, has got to be the best of the Six Sisters - and the Six Sisters the best of all Chesney's series. This sister is like a stormy "breath of fresh air" unwilling to give up the freedoms of a tomboy until she learns a lesson to break her heart, though not her spirit.

The predicaments she lands herself in with much alacrity from Lord Mark Dantry, are extremely amusing and highly original. And the chemistry between the two is better than Minerva and Sylvester. Dantry is a rake on the verge of reform when he meets his match in Diana, a veritable goddess, warring for his heart.

This installment presents a full tapestry of life in the Regency period as it shifts back and forth from the country to London and back again. All the familiar characters and married sisters are back to contribute to an overall delightful experience. Though Minerva is hailed as the favorite of the six by many, read Annabelle, Deirdre, and Daphne simply to appreciate getting to Diana.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the two best of the six sisters series!, March 17, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Diana the Huntress (The Fifth Volume of The Six Sisters) (Hardcover)

This is one of the best of the six sisters series. Believable characters, charming escapades and deft storytelling make this and Frederica in Fashion(the two youngest sisters) the two best in the six sisters series. Diana only lives for the hunt and may do so provided she dresses as a man. But what she hadn't counted on was when she meets the tall fair Lord Dantry in her man's disguise, she never in her entire life wanted to be a woman more than at that moment. Don't waste your money on the other sisters stories.

This review is from: DIANA THE HUNTRESS (Mass Market Paperback)

Marion Chesney has a marvelous sense of humor; her storytelling is amazing. She combines a lot of mystery with a smidgen of romance. This is about the 25th of her novels (also writes as M.C.Beaton) I've read and one of my favorites! Our heroine, Diana, hates the idea of being a lady preferring the hunt, with her father's blessing...at first. He now feels she MUST become a lady and this is the beginning of the headstrong Diana's escapades! Can she disguise herself as a boy a get away with it?
