This review is from: A Sweeter Prejudice (Romance) (Hardcover)

Jessica Hart writes sweet, funny romances. This is the first book she published and it is great good fun. Abby lives in a tiny english village, she lives in a small semi-detached thatched cottage and restores paintings for a living. Then her neighbour rents out the next-door cottage for the summer to none other than film star Nick Carleton.

Abby is not impressed with him at all. But he seems to be intent on charming her. The more he turns on the charm the more defensive he becomes. Only everyone else in the village seems to like him, and Abby finds that despite herself she does too.

This is immensely good natured romance. Abby tries to be grumpy, but you can see how Nick manages to charm his way through, and why Nick really does enjoy being with her. She is a loveable eccentric and a caring one too. Together they save frogs from dying in the bottom of a ditch.

It is a sweet romance and while there is some sex it tends on the side of sweet. This is all about english villages, picnics, village fetes, and old stately homes.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderfully Sweet Book, June 14, 2000

This review is from: A Sweeter Prejudice (Romance) (Hardcover)

Jessicas Hart writes very sweet and satisfying stories. When I was reading this book, Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr kept coming to my mind. This romance is light and pleasing and humorous, just like the film An Affair to Remember. The hero is Nick Carleton, a film star from U.S.A. --- handsome, rich, charming, pleasant and kind -- the typical Cary Grant image. He rented a cottage in an English village for the summer for vacation and there he met his neighbour, the young,beautiful and cold English rose Abigail Smith. At first he was intrigued by Abby's unfriendliness and total ignorance of his name and status. He was attracted to her and set out to thaw her coldness with good humour and charm. Abby was suspicious and distrusful of all males especially Americans as she had been seriously hurt by one. She refused to judge Nick objectively and fairly but luckily in the end she realized her mistake in time and would not deny her own heart. This romantic comedy is very enjoyable and highly recommended
