I know Ms. Johnson can write better, I've seen it....,

This review is from: To Please a Lady (Mass Market Paperback)
I wish I had seen some of the later reviews before I picked this book up. Definitely, NOT one of Ms. Johnson's best efforts. Where was the plot? The character building? The descriptive narrative? The building of sexual tension? She did her usual historical homework, but even that seemed contrived to me. It seemed as if she had to keep up with her previous books by putting in endnotes, so let's find some information that might fit the time period. If they shrunk the typesetting and moved the margins outward, where her previous books were printed, I don't think this story would fill 175 pages. When I finished the book, I couldn't believe that was it, where was the rest of it? Argyll gave up way to easily, even if he was greedy. What of Queensbury? He just disappeared. Sometimes I had trouble believing that Robbie was actually 18. At other times he was the epitome of the horny 18 year old. Unfortunately, he was very difficult to take seriously. I won't even try to get into Roxy's character, or what little there was beyond craving Robbie's body. Please Ms. Johnson, I know you are capable of so much better than this. Quality over quantity will guarantee my loyalty as a reader every time

This review is from: To Please a Lady (Mass Market Paperback)
Susan Johnston is known for juicy and erotic love scences and all of that was missing in this book,after this I don't think I will be buying anymore of her books.First the hero is an eighteen year old who has basically lived a full life,he is in my opinion infactuated with a twice widowed mother of 5 and soon to be twins with the hero.the lovemaking in the book is very tame compare to her other novels,she has another one due out next year if I do get it I would rather saved myself the money by getting the book from the library.

This lady was NOT pleased,
This review is from: To Please a Lady (Mass Market Paperback)
This one is for all your prudes who complain about excessive sex in Susan Johnson novels. This one, I will personally vouchsafe, is impeccably clean. I did not quite get what the danger in the book was all about , because Roxanne had to be shut up in some house in the beginning for a very long time. Robbie is more of a whining teenage boy, if that's the type of lover you prefer. Also, Roxanne has kids, which kind of diminished the exciting factor of romance novels. The lead antagonist is Argyll who lusts for Roxanne, but he gets vanished after a few chapters, though it would have been nice if he reappeared to show some consistency. Too clean and too boring
