Magic!,
By Judith Tarrant (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Legion's Ladies (Zebra Regency Romance) (Paperback)
Forget the silly "Nightingale" series and read two of the novels that changed my mind about the Romance genre for the better. I'm speaking of Judith Lansdowne's "Legion's Ladies" and "Amelia's Intrigue", the latter you'll have to scour second hand book stores for, I fear. I couldn't put either of books down - not because of the (of course) love story, but because Ms. Lansdowne writes *friendships* so beautifully! I fell madly for Legion and saw him through the eyes of friends and relatives, a tender, loveable, vulnerable, strong, witty, caring, beautiful man with the ability to change the lives of all those he comes in contact with - he unwittingly makes others fall for his natural charm, both women and men. "Amelia's Intrique" with two of fiction's most warm, loving, endearing men, is my favorite Lansdowne novel but "Legion's Ladies" is a very close second. Unfortunately her other novels seem to slip into the annoyingly patterned boy meets girl/miscommunication scenario with little thought to character development and friendships (which she does on par with the amazing Patricia Veryan).

Ensemble Story Entertains,
By
This review is from: Legion's Ladies (Zebra Regency Romance) (Paperback)
This is my first novel of Ms. Lansdowne's, and it has whetted my appetite for more. She has woven a large ensemble cast of characters for her story of adventure, friendship, and romance. Apart from the villain who drives the story, most of the characters change and mature as the result of their experiences.
There is a very untypical English equalitarian disregard of class and appearances which, while it suits the storyline, required me to suspend my disbelief in order to fully appreciate the many qualities of this ensemble story. My other difficulty was that in addition to there being a large number of characters to keep up with, some characters were referred to by multiple names. For example Legion was also Joshie, the Earl of Wright, Jocelyn, and Josh. This is a small quibble. I really enjoyed the story.

A romantic comedy in print form,
By
This review is from: Legion's Ladies (Zebra Regency Romance) (Paperback)
I love all of Lansdowne's regency romances. They've got adventure & romance & they always make me laugh out loud. And it's PG rated so you can loan it to your younger sibling without fear.
