Summary: A terrific romance !
Comment: This 3rd installment of the Lord series will not disappoint you ! The characters are full, the story line is intriguing and the tale is hopelessly romantic. I found the character of Felicity to be strong and independent, as well as the character of Ian to be fascinating. While Ian's character *does* seem different than in the previous story, I think it doesn't deter the reader from enjoying this book thoroughly.
If you have not read any of Sabrina Jeffries' previous books, I'd recommend reading the first two Lord books before this one, but it's definitely a terrific romance worth enjoying !

Summary: Great Read - From Cover to Cover!
Comment: 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.

Summary: Obstacles Get In the Way.
Comment: On the whole, this is not a bad book, but it is the weak link in Jeffries' "Lord Trilogy." Unfortunately, THE DANGEROUS LORD lacks the brilliance and wonder of its predecessors.
Left penniless and in debt by her father, Felicity Taylor replenishes the family coffers by writing a gossip column for a London newspaper - incognito. (Sound familiar Julia Quinn fans?) When her mousy little friend is about to marry the notorious rake Ian Lennard, the Viscount St. Clair, Felicity strikes out wielding her wicked gossip pen. In her scandalmonger column, Felicity accuses the viscount of keeping a mistress. After all, the devilish man does own the home, and an attractive woman does live there - with an infant! Such a vicious attack inflames St. Clair and he sets out for revenge against the camouflaged columnist.
Though Felicity and Ian are both likable characters, their likableness is just not enough to carry the story. The author casts them as two people who analyze every situation. They examine every circumstance -- either together or solely. They talk, they scold, and they sermonize. Their endless moralizing completely clouds whatever chemistry the two lovebirds might have.
What a shame the author chose this path, because her story had great potential. Felicity's four young brothers are one of the story's highlights. Each scene with these little devils is marvelous; too bad the author didn't exploit these rascals further! Jeffries' earlier books in the trilogy - THE PIRATE LORD and THE FORBIDDEN LORD supply the other secondary characters. Unfortunately, the author did exploit these supporting characters. The drawback? If not familiar with Jeffries' earlier books, the reader may have trouble figuring out whom all these people are.
And that incredible ending! Egads, but Felicity Taylor is marvelous - what a woman, what a wonderful woman, let's all hear it for Felicity and her plan to save the day!
Yes, I was disappointed in this book. Sadly missing was the delightful wit, the feminine bedevilment, and the electrified sexual tension, the qualities that were so noteworthy in the parent books.
