This author shows promise. Some of her scenes were well-written and the relationship between the two main characters was thoroughly explored. However, the conversations were absolutely wooden as written, the characters behaved in anachronistic fashion, and the title character's name is *consistently misused* which distracted and frustrated me so much that I couldn't enjoy what there was of the storyline. Whatever happened to copyeditors, anyway? Ms. Solomon, I beg of you, do a little fundamental research! As written, the hero's family name was Sinclair, but his title was something else entirely. Therefore, the title of this book should be, "Seducing Lord Something-Else-Entirely." If you are looking for good traditional Regency romance, I recommend Emma Lange, Marion Chesney, or the always stellar Patricia Veryan, but I'd skip this one.

I loved this book! Three romances for the price of one! It was a fun story, the heroine is funny and a little daring and Lord Sinclair has met his match. The tender love of Lord Clive and Lady Jane waits patiently while she sees to the troubled love-lives of her children. The adoring passion of Amber and Raphael has waited long enough and in each other they find what they have only dreamed of. The fiery romance of Marianne and Raoul begins when they agree to a marriage of convenience to spite some old foes, but it quickly becomes deeper than either expected. I even enjoyed the villians in this book and they DO get theirs in the end. Give this book a try...just enjoy it...enjoy the romance, the love and the passion...and the laughs. It's a great read!

I didn't like this book much at all; it is divided into three on-going romances at the same time, which is fine in itself, however I found the secondary characters were much more interestng than the primary characters.

The premise of the story was good, which is that Lord Sinclair marries his wife in order for her to avoid a miserable marriage to his skinflint, elderly cousin, which also saves Lord Sinclair's inheritance. In the meantime, Lord Sinclair's best friend and his sister are falling in love, and Lord Sinclair's mother is holding off on a second marriage, wanting first to see her children happily married. The parts of the book in which the Sinclair family thwart Marianne's family (the new Lady Sinclair) in their machinations ruin her were interesting and amusing.

Other than that, I didn't see a lot of redeeming qualities in this story.
