Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

*Starred Review* When Justin Grey, the Earl of Clifton, sets off on his first dangerous spy mission, Lucy Ellyson fears he’ll be killed by the French. Seven years later when Lucy meets Justin coming out of the Duke of Hollendrake’s residence in London, she feels like killing him herself. Before he left for France, he promised that as soon as the war was over they would marry. Lucy waited as long as she could before finally giving up hope and getting on with her life. Now that they’ve found one another again, Lucy expects Justin will finally fulfill his promise to marry her. Until she discovers that he plans to wed the very wealthy and quite lovely Annella Corby. All of RITA award-winning Boyle’s signature literary elements—deliciously acerbic writing, splendidly original characters, and sinfully sexy chemistry—blend brilliantly together in the first scintillating installment in her new Widows of Standon historical Regency trilogy. --John Charles

3.0 out of 5 stars Cool cover. Love the necklace., January 8, 2010
This review is from: How I Met My Countess (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm a romance novel addict even at my advanced age, so I've got a lot of books under my "have read that" belt. And I have read just about every romance written by Elizabeth Boyle and each time wonder why I did it. Doesn't say much for my learning curve, but there's always something about each book that I like and makes me think that the next one will be even better. The problem for me is that the Boyle heroines have too much 21st-century freedom and are full of modern-day sensibilities and actions. This new young heroine trains spies, is an expert at picking locks, breaking spy codes, cheating at cards, understanding foreign terrain and dealing out a mean uppercut. Not that these are usual activities for a 21st-century woman, but it would be even less likely for a 19th-century female. She is also illegitimate, from the lower classes, and at the end of the book ends up married to an earl. So to enjoy this book, one must suspend logic and just go with the story, enjoying the romance and the fairy-tale ending it is bound to have. I believe a younger reader will enjoy this much more than I did.

2.0 out of 5 stars Boyle has lost it, December 10, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
At times I like to read an "uncharacteristic" romance, and Boyle is one to turn to. However, this effort is beyond poor. Really, most of her recent efforts have had me shaking my head. I enjoyed "Love Letters from a Duke," it was silly, unrealistic, but made me laugh, and sometimes I need that. But this story does not make you laugh - and laughter is all Boyle's novels have to recommend them, which I think says it all - do not bother.

2.0 out of 5 stars Just kind of silly, January 27, 2010

Jen Takacs (Grand Rapids, MI) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How I Met My Countess (Mass Market Paperback)
I love romances - I read tons of them, but I find myself really confused by the glowing reviews for this book. I couldn't like the male lead - man I can't even remember his name- yikes. I kept thinking, if this guy loves and respects her, why is he moving so fast? I mean really - their first kiss he is groping her like a drunken frat boy. Ugh. Love is more than sex - and I just never saw the love part well developed here. That and the spy stuff was just silly - the father was supposed to be the "spy trainer" but somehow it's delegated to his daugher who he supposedly loves and wants to protect, but sends her around unchaperoned with a bunch of rowdy men, hmm. I was actually reminded a lot of the Johanna Lindsey books I loved when I was 13 - but as a grown woman, I need something a bit deeper.
