Summary: Good to the last page
Comment: Having read Liz Carlyle's previous "Devil" book "The Devil You Know," I bought "A Deal..." as soon as it came out. All I can say is: GREAT READ! Aubrey Montford is fleeing from someone, along with her "son" she takes refuge as a housekeeper in a dilapidated castle belonging to the absent Lord Walrafen. When the Earl's uncle is murdered, the absentee landlord returns, only to find that his former dusty castle is no longer dusty, but is now a prosperous estate. On a mission to find his uncle's killer, Giles finds himself falling for the mysterious Aubrey. This novel has it all, a crime to solve, a mystery to unravel, a love story and sexy sex scenes. All in all, a great historical romance.
Rating: 4
Summary: Enjoyable, but Liz You Can Do So Much Better
Comment: Carlyle has written several books set in early nineteenth century England, using the same set of core characters. I read and like them all, but the first few in the series were edgier, darker, and, for me, much more interesting.
Aubrey Montford needs a place to hide, so she becomes a housekeeper for Major Lorimer, who lives in his nephew's family home, Castle Cardow. The major dies mysteriously and Aubrey is of course the first suspect. Enter Giles, Lord Walrafen, who is determined to find his uncle's killer and discover all of Aubrey's secrets. You can take it from here.
I like Carlyle's style and her characters. But she seemed to throw away the plot at the end - the old - "I've reached my page requirement, so let's put this puppy to bed" thing?
grade: B Because I know that she could have done better.
Rating: 4
Summary: 3 1/2 stars really
Comment: Something about this story that left me unsatisfied and a little irritated. Like there was something lacking in our heroine and hero's relationship that I can't put my finger on it. I found the relationship between Aubrey and the Major more endearing. I do love Liz Carlyle's style of writing, I just don't feel like this one was up to the others.
