4.0 out of 5 stars I liked this book...., December 10, 2003

By 

Just a Dreamer "[e-mail]" (Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Impetuous Innocent (Mass Market Paperback)

After a long absence from reading (10 years), I have been catching up like crazy...One of my favorite authors is Stephanie Laurens...she writes and my heart soars. She is very romantic/descriptive ..My kind of writer ..

I will have to say, and I see (by her reviews) most people have liked her new stuff more, I think her older books are more romantic..I also have found her recent writings more sexual, I see her old writings more heart felt and thought out more. I do not think sex in a book is all there is for romance, and I sure hope making romances more sexual and less romantic is not a future trend.

... In addition, I hope Ms. Laurens you remember... there are I am sure ... many that buy books for enjoyment.... for the artist of words...and you are that an artist. Hopefully that woman that grabbed those books, wont get published. She seemed to think woman just read the romance for sex..and thought I was crazy when I tried to show her my favorite authors.

Back to my review, I loved this book, only thing that I didn't like was her age, when I saw she was 18 I thought, oh lord she is a baby....there is no way I am going to get into this book (I like my heroines older) but it was not to bad....I would give this book a three and a half star..However, you never get half stars on here...*sigh*

Laurens' writing always grabs you from the first page. Her style is easy to read and follow. This story is pleasant, neat, and tidy. The characters look for love within the typical "ton" strictures. I liked Georgie and Dominic. HOWEVER, where are Laurens' characteristic sex scenes and steamy passion that usually ignites the pages? None. None. None. I kept reading...hoping...but NONE. If you're looking for a nice love story sans sex, this is for you. If you're looking for sizzle, don't bother.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible, May 10, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Impetuous Innocent (Mass Market Paperback)

I picked this book up, after barely reading the back cover, because I've read quite a few SL books and I have always really enjoyed them. However like many of the other reviewers I wish I hadn't. The book is boring. Besides the fact that there is no sex, (which I can deal with) there is also no sexual tension and no romance. Why on earth these two get together is beyond me. Georgina is supposed to be popular and vivacious but everytime she is w. Dominic she turns into a blathering idiot. Where's her backbone? And why on earth dominic would ever want to marry her is inexplicable. I would reccommend Stephanie Laurens to fans of the genre but stay away from her older stuff. I'm glad this was not the first book of hers I read, at least I know she can do better!
