Summary: good brother, bad partner
Comment: i agree with saki. it was a good book but i dont understand why the hero loved his sister more than the heroine. his kindness to his family does not make up for what he did to alana. he never even said sorry. even after chapter 27, when he found out that alana was good he still continued to treat her the same way, he was still taunting her knickerbocker background. this book was well written but it's true that when it comes to romance it was disappointing.
i was also wondering, in the end when alana was about to pack her things and leave, she was feeling sad when she was thinking of "the tender times she and trevor laughed together". what was she thinking about??? there were NO tender moments before the third to the last page of the book! even in the last page, the hero never smiled at the heroine. if you want to read about a great brother, then trevor is your man. but if you want to read about a good partner, stay FAR away from him.

Summary: Well written, but not what I wanted or expected...
Comment: "Lions and Lace" was a very well written book...However, it wasnt one that I particularly loved. Trevor and Alana were both frustrating to me. First of all, Alana was frustrating in her refusal to communicate openly. I will say that she broke down and was honest before Trevor, but it was just tiring reading about her supressing her emotions day in and day out. As for Trevor, well, he was mean for 95% of the story. I actually enjoy a mean, brooding hero. But, the man has to show growth and redeem himself...Trevor, even though he would on occassion show a bit of softness, refused to break down and profess his love to Alana until almost the last page. This annoyed me because even though he was undeniably attractive, I just could not understand what Alana saw in him to make her love him so.
All in all, this was a good read, but it missed being a keeper for me because I couldnt fully trust Trevor.

Summary: Favorite book of all time!
Comment: In the 15 years as an avid reader, I have read over a thousand romance books, and will without hesitation say that this is definitely the best book I have ever read. This book never fails to lift me up when I'm down and out. So, after reading some of the poor reviews, I felt compelled to defend it.
Some of the reviews complain of the hero's cruelty. I would say said readers may have misunderstood the character of Sheridan. One should keep in mind that this story is set in 1880s, where Irish are still an outcast despite their wealth. So Sheridan, being an Irish and considering the limp in his leg, would naturally feel unworthy to have a woman like Alana. He tried pushing Alana away because he feels that Alana should have somebody better than him. That in itself is quite endearing and romantic. Also, feeling unworthy, he usually holds back, and is suspicious of Alana's declarations of love. But, never in the book did I feel any hatred from Sheridan towards Alana. In the middle of the book, we can see that Sheridan already love Alana, but only declared his love for her at the end of the book, after coming to terms with himself. In the sequel, Fair is the Rose, you can witness the kind of love that Sheridan is capable of -- he just has to conquer his insecurities in the first book.
This will be the book that I will read and re-read over and over again. Thank you Ms. McKinney for writing this book!
