Summary: the good news and the bad news
Comment: It's been years since I read a Harlequin. Well written in some places - Elizabth Roll is a wordsmith at times and other times the narrative is disappointing. The characters are contradictory - Lord and Lady Blakehurst are at times both strong and weak. He's supposed to be experienced in the ways of women, but he fails in the most amusing ways to be able to pull himself together sufficiently to communicate with his wife. Thank goodness they had the dogs for comic relief... anyway, enjoyed it - as a freebie. I probably would not have purchased it on my own if there were a cost.

Summary: Typical historical romance, but yeah I loved it
Comment: Predictable but nice, nonetheless. Being an avid fan of historical/regencey romance stories, I found this to be a good read.

Summary: His Lady Mistress
Comment: Do people even talk to each other? Time and Time again its one massive miscommunication after the next. I wanted to smack the both of them for not talking to each other. I like historical romance but this one just drove me nuts
Customer Rating:
Summary: A well written formulaic romance
Comment: The writing never made me cringe, and the plot kept moving along. Keep your expectations low and you'll enjoy this one (and I don't say that about all of them!). I'll look for more by Elizabeth Rolls.
Customer Rating:
Summary: great historical setting, horrible characters
Comment: Great sex scenes and the build up of tension, though there is some suspense of belief here, like how the hero couldn't tell the girl was a virgin just because he had all these misconceptions (he had thought she had been previously ravaged for her master, who is in fact her psycho cousin.) And the hero treats the heroine like garbage, a really bad message for women here, because Verity blames herself for faults that really don't amount to anything in my honest opinion, and yes, if they just sit down and talked, the book would have last ended in 50 pages. For a free ebook, it's great. For a satisfying historical romance read, I suggest you look elsewhere.
