More About the Author
Joanna Maitland is a Scot (with part Irish ancestry) though she and her husband now live in England, near the border with Wales. It's a magical area, overflowing with the kind of historical sites that would tantalise any author's storytelling tastebuds. To add to her nomadic history, Joanna spent the Swinging Sixties living in Scotland, France, Germany, and London, and she still enjoys travel to faraway places which can give her backgrounds for her historical romances. Recently, she travelled to St Petersburg in Russia; the Austrian capital, Vienna; and Venice, Queen of the Adriatic. All three have the kind of fascinating locations that Joanna loves to include in her stories; you can read about them in her trilogy, THE AIKENHEAD HONOURS. So far, thirteen of Joanna's Regency romantic novels have been published by Harlequin Mills & Boon. The most recent is THE EARL'S MISTLETOE BRIDE, a Christmas tale of mystery, marriage, and mistletoe! Joanna's books are available in many countries of the world, both in English and translated into at least a dozen other languages. There is even a gorgeous Manga version in Japan, of which she is very proud.

Ridiculous plot; unlikable characters,
By
This review is from: My Lady Angel (Harlequin Historical) (Mass Market Paperback)
I just didn't warm to these characters! Although it was a ok read, the plot and all the "weird" happenings just did nothing for me!
Angel, despite all her attempts at being "head of the family" rarely had a thought of her own. Yes, she had survived an abusive marriage and yes, she had migraines and yes, she had debilitating monthly cycles ... but as head of the family (sounds very godfatherish!), she did little of showing strength or compassion. I found her almost childish in her thoughts and actions. Frederick (our hero) seemed incapable of being kind. He was one angry, scowling man -- always defensive. I didn't even like the way he took his mistress for granted. He was ready to throw her out into the world (to find another protector) after he found his true love. Angel was the one who wanted to make sure the woman was allowed to become a respectable widow again! My list goes on and on ... and I don't want to spoil any ending by revealing too much. I enjoyed some portion of this book but towards the end skimmed through many pages. The whole PLOT was just ridiculous ... Frederick at one point abducts Angel and wears the mask he wore when they met at an infamous ball (he was known to her as Max)-- where she thinks he used her after she passed out -- a weird scenario in itself. Bleh! That was after Pierre (her maybe other cousin) has kissed her while calling her another's name ... Bleh 2! No characters were endearing to me including the nasty Aunt who seemed to hate people without reason? Even Angel's father (dead a year) seems to have been a horrible man!!! Although I slogged my way through it, I cannot recommend it!

BACK COVER REVIEW,
By Pollyanna (Columbus, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Lady Angel (Harlequin Historical) (Mass Market Paperback)
Was Lady Angelina Penrose some grasping harpy? Or the beautiful widow longing for love that others saw? The Earl of Penrose wanted to think the worst. But when he learned otherwise, Frederick doubted he could ever make amends for their unfortunate introduction. Until he spotted Angel at a ball that could ruin her reputation...and he felt honor bound to save her!
Abused by her late husband, Angel had come to the risque ball for a little harmless flirtation. And she found it with a mysterious stranger known only as Max. But even under the spell cast by Max's gentle kisses, she sensed there was something disturbingly familiar about her masked lover...
