5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read - From Cover to Cover!, March 27, 2000

By	Tina (Queens, NY) - See all my reviews

What a great book! My friend lent me this book and while I had never read any of Ms. Jeffries work before, I figured why not? Why not indeed! What a talent she is and what a wonderfully funny, sexy and intricate tale she has woven. The two main characters, Ian and Felicity, are great together. What starts out as a battle of wills between the mysterious "Lord X" and her most recent target of gossip, Viscount St. Clair, soon turns into the Viscount's cautious courting of the reluctant gossip columnist. In turn Felicity (aka Lord X) wants to know all the secrets of Ian's past, most importantly of the 6 years he's been mysteriously missing from England that no one seems to know the details of. Ian is determined to keep his secrets AND have Felicity as his wife and the courtship is an interesting one - to say the least! I also liked the fact that Felicity was a strong female character and Ian wasn't your typical chauvinistic and egotistical male that you tend to find is some romances.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dangerously Good, March 17, 2000

By	Bonnie Gilbert (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

After seeing gossip printed about him in the gossip rag, Viscount St. Clair is determined to find this Lord X and stop him. He finds Lord X all right, but is shocked by Lord X's identity.

Penniless Felicity Taylor is forced to write gossip columns to provide for her four younger brothers. Living a double life, Felicity lives as a pauper during the day but goes to parties and balls at night to obtain her information. When her friend is on the verge of accepting Lord St. Clair's proposal, she is forced to write about him to stop the marriage.

Ian is forced to find a wife and produce a male heir within 2 years. After his attempt at marriage fails, he is immediately drawn to Miss Felicity Taylor. Knowing full well she is Lord X, Ian demands marriage. Felicity refuses. Until Ian compromises her and she is forced into marriage.

What follows is a fun ride for Ian and his fiery bride. Ms. Jeffries has written an entertaining tale and although Ian isn't a lovable character, Felicty and her charming brothers make up for it. I highly recommend Dangerous Lord and look forward to more from Sabrina Jeffries in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best romance I've read so far!, March 19, 2000

By	Carol A. Strickland (Efland, NC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Holy Moley! I'm going to have to start downgrading my other ratings if people are putting out books like this! Definitely five stars across the board. If anyone ever sneers that some people read -- sniff -- _romances! _ hand them this book. It's so well-crafted, so intricately plotted and actually contains real humor! Yes, I said humor! The characters are delightful and people I want to meet, with incredible chemistry between them. The setting is very much a part of the plot and the situation; the dialogue is sparkling. I so admire how there seems not to be a wasted word in the entire book as the plot keeps lunging forward, pulling me with it. Honestly, I could not put this book down.

Do I have anything at all to nitpick? Perhaps the final chapter wasn't needed, but for those who require a celebration to top off the happy ending (I'm not giving anything away; this is romance after all), you have that as well. If only they'd have put a cover with a little more pizzazz on the book (the clench back cover is really quite pedestrian, as opposed to the incredible romance within). To sum up: BUY THIS BOOK! And congratulations, Sabrina Jeffries on a job well-done. (I just did a search on Amazon.com and found that there are two more books in this series... and one of them, The Pirate Lord, is out of print! How could you have your publishers do this to us? Argh. I'll find it somewhere...)
