AN ARISTOCRATIC ENTANGLEMENT - With the voice of a songbird and a beauty unrivaled in Regency England, Marissa was the singing sensation of the season.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A Daring Beauty matches wits with a charming rakes,
By "ketera" (Euclid, OH United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rose Domino (273) (Paperback)
It began as an innocent flirtation and likely would have remained so had dazzlingly beautiful opera singer Marissa Merrilli and her lovestruck young lord been left to their own devices. But a meddling family and notorious gossip combined to drive Marissa into an aristocratic entanglement she had never desired. Still, everything might have worked out eventually if not for the unexpected interference of wealthy, debonair Gervase Maxwell. Gervase's erroneous assumption that Marisa was a fortune-hunting woman of easy virtue was a clarion call to battle that the volatile, headstrong singer could not ignore-and an unforgivable mistake she swore to make Mr. Maxwell pay for dearly. A good read
2.0 out of 5 stars
Not my favorite,
By Flower Girl (MN, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rose Domino (Signet Regency Romance) (Paperback)
Unfortunately, I did not find this book to my liking. Contrary to the scenario described on the back of the book, which sounded very promising. Instead, I found the writing sometimes wordy and confusing (might be trying too hard to be in the period); characters were tedious and average, at least I did not feel the great "battle of the wits" as expected; and the plots of mystery were rather twisted and forced. However, I did like the feelings between heroine and her Italian mentor and her friend, there was a lot of tender feelings there. Nevertheless, I had a hard time to be drawn into the story and retain my attention there. Not my favorite book.
