One of the Best!,
By macker@hartingdale.com.au (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love's a Stage (Paperback)
I fell in love with David Landry about the same time the heroine did, and equally in love with the writings of Tom and Sharon Curtis. Their writing style is elegant and charming, their characters appealing, attractive and often very funny and the stories out of the ordinary. This is probably my favorite Regency romance. Its the best!

Love's A Stage, by Laura London,
By A Customer
This review is from: Love's a Stage (Candlelight Regency #565) (Mass Market Paperback)
Love's a Stage was charming and eminantly readable even if for no other reason than that the authors (Sharon and Tom Curtis--no confusion here!) are masters of their craft. Laura London, in general, writes Regency Romances in a voice remenescent of Jane Austin, characters who seem to step right out of Charles Dickens (especially the heroines), but with the attention to romantic chemistry and sexual attraction that is almost indespensible to modern audiences. There is no sex in the Laura London Regencies, like in Austin's novels, but there is always plenty of innuendo, unlike Austin. That said, Love's A Stage had a sort of aesthetic value, but was, unfortunately, not quite up to speed. The plot was a bit forced (our intrepid heroine sets out to single-handedly stop a murderous sabotour who moonlights as the darling of the London stage--we all need a hobby!). The heroine Francis was often rather annoying; she either talked too much about nothing to be likeable, or didn't say enough about nothing to be charmingly eccentric. The brilliant, explicitly sexy hero, who also happens to be a nobleman and (go figure) a quirky playwrite, just didn't seem to work up any appreciable chemistry with Francis until the book was practically finished, though he did have some great one-liners. I recommend The Bad Baron's Daughter or The Gypsy Heiress, both Regencies by Laura London.
