Delightful
Published by Anne Grime , 4 years ago
Great characters and stylish narrative and dialogue. Very funny at times, a requisite for any good romance.
The heroine does seem to get knocked on the head rather frequently but the author, and the heroine, do acknowledge this and it in no way detracts from the story.
Keeper.
Mistakes can be sexually satisfying.

I just started reading books by this author and I must say that I have enjoyed each one so far. Her stories make me chuckle at times. She writes with humor and passion. The characters were warm and easy to get to know. By the third page I was hooked. The only thing that bothered me was that Maggie got knocked out a lot, other than that it was a nice mystery, fun and had several titilating love scenes. I like this writer and plan to read more. The last one I read was The Lady Pirate which I thought was GREAT! I would actually rate this book a 4 1/2 star book.
Always a Winner!

One thing you must say for Lynsay Sands - ANything she writes generally has outrageously funny dialog and this one scores a 10!Talk about a comedy of errors - or should we say a breakdown of communication.Since her brother Gerald died and left her property without the proper funds to maintain, Lady Margaret must find a way to support herself and old family retainers that she cannot let go of. She assumes her brothers pen name and begins to write articles for a local newspaper. Now everyone knows that a certain amount of research must go int these articles, so donning a plethora of disguises, Lady Margaret has gone into a number of places no 'Lady' should be seen in.Enter, Lord James, who is alive because her brother took the bullet intended for him. On his deathbed, James promised Gerald to look after his sweet innocent sister. To find this sweet innocent sister in the bordello - dressed as Lady X - well he just had to save her!This was one terrific read! I don't see where anyone who reads this will not absolutely burst out into gales of laughter! This is an outstanding book by an outstanding author. All her books are keepers - especially this one!

I read everything Ms. Sands write. She is a must read for me. This book is one of her best. It was hilarious. I loved evey minute. I could not put it down. I recommend you read all her books. They all have good stories and a large amount of humor.
Charming Book

This is the first book I read of Sands and it won't be my last, just enough charm, fun, romance. Great combination. I hope she writes Lord Mullins story next.
Another big score for Lynsay Sands

Not much of a review writer, but I am the male half of the team that runs WISE Writers and Readers at MSN. And we picked this book at the Book of the Month for February 2002. And I must say it earns it.I have been a fan of Lynsay Sands since reading Lady Pirate, and with each book only grow more an ardent admirer of her writings.The book was simply a great read. Her characters are funny, but not stupid. I really hate when writers force their characters to do stupid things just to further the plot. Lynsay never resorts to this. Her characters often end up in really hysterical situations, but it because it happens in the natural flow. She never insults the reader with sappy,paperdoll characters, but gives you living breathing people that you truly 'See'. She is in a class by herself, and I note many writers trying to imitate her lately. There is only one Lynsay.When I pick up her book I know I am going to smile, laugh out loud and come away knowing I enjoyed myself to the fullest!!Thank you, Lynsay!!
