Book Description

May 24, 2005

The final chapter in the delectable Gentleman Rogues trilogy by a consistent USA Today bestselling author.

A Lady's Vow.

The very last thing beautiful young Elizabeth Dunaway plan to do is marry! Determined to liberate the women of Britain, Elizabeth opens a private Ladies Club, scandalizing every male in Victorian London.

A Hero's Promise.

Of course, Ross Carrington, the Earl of Blakestone isn't at all like most other men. As a brilliant military strategist and gentleman spy, he's at the top of his game. But when an investigation leads him to the magnificently obstinate Miss Duniway, Ross sets out to tame her rebellious spirit, but soon finds that he's met his match.

The Battle of the Sexes.

When Elizabeth's campaign for women's rights goes too far and takes her to prison, she's stunned when the powerfully handsome Blakestone comes to her rescue with a marriage of convenience. But there's nothing at all convenient about waking up to the arrogant earl, wrapped in his embrace.As her dashing and attentive husband begins to romance her, she soon discovers that marrying Ross just might have been the most liberating thing she could ever have done.

5.0 out of 5 stars strong Victorian romantic suspense, May 25, 2005
This review is from: Marry the Man Today (Mass Market Paperback)
In 1853 suffragette supporter Elizabeth Dunaway plans an incident to insure she will be arrested as a way of protesting the lack of women's rights. However, her scheme goes awry when Earl Ross Carrington rescues her. Even more shocking Elizabeth is forced to marry her "hero" for proprietary sake.

Though a bride attracted to her spouse, Elizabeth continues her support of women's rights working as a conductor on the underground train that helps abused females to flee an untenable situation. At the same time, Ross keeps a vigil on developments in Russia and Austria that could impact England. When their two ventures suddenly merge, they realize they love one another, but first England is in jeopardy.

MARRY THE MAN TODAY is a strong Victorian romantic suspense that grips the audience from the moment that Ross rescues Elizabeth and never slows down until the final altercation. The story line is action-packed starring two courageous champions although their respective causes differ. Fans obtain an intriguing look at the frustrations of the early suffragettes struggling against a tide of "family values" that assumes a woman needs a man for food, shelter and safety/protection. Though the merging of the two subplots seems strained, readers will appreciate this fine historical tale.

1.0 out of 5 stars Characters one dimensional, predictable plot, September 18, 2005
This review is from: Marry the Man Today (Mass Market Paperback)
I liked Needham's previous books, so I picked this one up right away at the local bookstore. That said, following is a short synopsis. Elizabeth Dunaway is a beautiful, 19th century feminist, who is by her own rights, wealthy and smart. She's an intelligent business woman who owns a book shop (which carries books geared towards the rights of women), and the first exclusive women's private club, i.e. White's on estrogen. Enter the hero - Ross Carrington, Earl of Blakestone, diplomat for the government, all around good guy. Predictably, he sees her, wants her, and ends up "saving" her after she is thrown into prison for disorderly conduct - leading a women's march for rights.

For me, the book was entirely boring. The characters were one dimensional. Elizabeth is portrayed as the perfect woman, always does the right thing, always is successful...in other words, she can do no wrong. So is Ross. There is no depth within the characters, no sexual chemistry. It was a struggle to get through, took me days, I even chose to do laundry instead of reading the book. Even Elizabeth's close friends were more interesting. The characters were flat, the plot was flat, the ending was flat. Not sure if the author was hurrying to meet a deadline, or the characters didn't appeal to her, so she just wrote a mediocre storyline for them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quick Enjoyable Read, January 5, 2008
This review is from: Marry the Man Today (Mass Market Paperback)

Unlike some of the other reviewers, I read this book in one evening and enjoyed it. It brought home what women at this time faced. I liked the fact that Elizabeth was a feminist who was also able to have a strong supportive husband and live "happily ever after"
