The Offer

I just fell in love with the cover as soon as I began to read. The Offer has been my favorite ever since. This is an ideal Regency Romance. Catherine, thank you for writing wonderful stories especially "Mad Jack".

When I first bought this book, I must have read it about 5 times in a row. I really liked the story, however, I feel that Ms. Coulter should have spent more time on the ending of this book. There were too few pages between the time that the heroine finds her husband with his mistress and when he professes his love. The book started off really well, but the ending was a little dull.

I liked the story, but it seems like characters appear out of nowhere, (like Richard Clarendon, and Charles) that leave me wondering if the book is part of a trilogy or series. There is a feeling like walking into a movie part way through. I do like the fact that Catherine Coulter does not summarize the other stories in a series like so many other author's do, ruining the story if you did not start at the beginning. By accident I bought the Wild Baron, and it appears to be a paralel of The Offer, connected through Phillips friend Rohan Carrington. I wish that the trilogy's or series were identified more clearly. I like to read a whole group at once, but can't if I don't know what the other books are called. The Offer had no reference to the Wild Baron on its cover. I must say though, that I am addicted, as predictable as these books are they keep you turning the pages into the wee hours.

Coulter has out-done herself with this one. Read this book only if you have several hours, because you won't want to put it down!!! The characters come alive and you feel as if you are there with them.

This book was a fast reader, I usually enjoy her books but you really fall for Phillip & Sabrina. They are an excellent pair. READ IT!!!!!
