Summary: Historical romance mistakenly published as a Regency
Comment: Some rakes may be redeemable, but the hero of this story is WAY too far gone. In the author's previous book, "A Dangerous Compromise," he was the villain who was prevented from forcing the heroine's compliance by drugging her with opium when the hero arrived in a timely manner.

Ms. Donnelly, what WERE you thinking???

Another problem is the fact that the hero and heroine live together for a year before marrying. Oh, I'm sure that real lords occasionally married their mistresses during the Regency period, but not without a great deal of scandal. A "happy-ever-after" ending in this situation seems rather doubtful.

Frankly, this sort of plot line is not appropriate for a Regency; Ms. Donnelly should try writing full-length historicals if this is what she wants to do.

Summary: The Cost of Respectability
Comment: Beautiful Glynis and her brother, Christopher, have spent their whole lives on the road as care-free gypsies. But then their mother tells them the startling truth...their father was a lord whose inheritance was stolen from him by his younger brother. Their mother even believes that their uncle is responsible for their father's mysterious death. And thus Glynis and Christopher embark on a dangerous mission to learn the full truth of their shadowed past and gain their rightful inheritance.

Their first attempt to steal the documents that prove their mother was indeed married to their father fails miserably, but throws Glynis into the path of the notorious Lord St. Albans. He is unable to forget her and determines to help the siblings on their quest...for reasons of his own.

And so a story of intrigue and danger begins with few to be trusted and the stakes almost too high. But Glynis finds the greatest danger is her own growing feelings for the heartless rogue, St. Albans. Glynis is posing as his mistress in order to move in the same circles as her uncle...and St. Albans would like to make the arrangement real. Glynis should be outraged, but instead she more tempted than she thought possible. Could the price for her brother's respectability be her own?

And just so you know, Proper Conduct by Shannon Donnelly contains the love stories of both Christopher and Bryn.

Summary: Should have ended sooner
Comment: If you do not like endings which are out of character for the regency period, then this book is not for you. I have gotten rid of my copy of it for this reason.
