4.0 out of 5 stars If you love a scientist, this wil hit home!, August 28, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: A Scholarly Gentleman (Zebra Regency Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

While this is not my favorite of Ms. Blair's many books (I mean, we have to choose a favorite, right?), I felt a special resonance with the issues Phoebe faced when dealing with Jordan and his scientific idiosyncracies and stubbornness. He's a very true-painted character! I suspect many of Ms. Blair's readers will recognize some aspect of the men in their lives in Jordan DeVaux. I believe it is his characterization that marks this book as unique and a must-read. It flows differently than her books, at times seeming surprisingly unhindered, and at other times impossibly so, which kept my interest up. Ms. Blair's always-interesting side characters did not disappoint either!
I can't wait to see her next book!

This book is the other part of "A Notorious Lady". It contains the details of Phoebe and Jordan's romance. I enjoyed it but didn't think it was as good as some of Blair's other books. I would recommend it though, along with the above mentioned.

5.0 out of 5 stars a thought-provoking romance, September 16, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: A Scholarly Gentleman (Zebra Regency Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

I really enjoyed this book. It was one of those that keeps you thinking a long time after you've finished it. I like mature heroines, and Phoebe handles her damaged past and her uncertain future in a real and compelling way. This was far more than the usual arrogant-alpha-male-meets-lovely-innocent-miss Regency romance. I recommend it for those who enjoy something a bit more serious. That said, though it's more drama than fluff, it is still a deeply romantic story.
