Summary: The hits keep coming!
Comment: Ms. Blair has always delighted me with her characters' vulnerability and wit. She manages to keep them within the constraints of their very repressed society and yet they are always extremely accessible and modern feeling in their sentiments. This book has some of her best character work yet, and lots of great humor, as well as definite tension. Even knowing they must get together, she sets up enough foils that you are turning the page, eager to find out HOW. I easily identify with her characters and feel their pulse racing thanks to her very filmic style of writing. More please!

Summary: One of the year's best at the year's end
Comment: Handsome Jack Harrow has just become Lord Harrow, a viscount with a wealth of responsibilities. His first instinct is to hire a new estate manager, as the current one had grown senile.
The estate manager's daughter, Olivia Faraday, is less than excited about the viscount's arrival. Two years ago, she met him during her Season--very briefly. He represents success and privelege, everything Olivia resents. She herself is destitute. Though her sisters seem smitten with the viscount, Olivia thinks he's pompous. And he thinks Olivia is a prickly gorgon.
But the more they banter with each other, the more they like each other... though neither of them are willing to own up to the unlikely attraction.
This book is very, very good. VERY good. The dialogue crackles with life, and the author managed to breathe a lot of personality into her characters. There was never a dull moment. The story is full of wit and charm, and leads up to a wonderful, heart-warming ending. If you don't smile when you read this, I'll be very surprised. The characters were very young, but the book is very enjoyable. I definitely recommend it, especially for the holidays.

Summary: Blair just gets better
Comment: I've been a fan of Catherine Blair's work for a while now and, as this latest book proves, she just keeps getting better. Ms. Blair has a good feel for character and dialogue, and this latest venture is full of humour and warmth. The story flows effortlessly, and despite the fact that you know it will end happily--otherwise why are you reading it--Blair keeps the suspense of "will they or won't they" right up to the last page. Blair's writing in "A Viscount" shows a welcome loosening of formality--the Regency stuff is all there, but not as dense as with her first few novels--the phrase "doing the pretty" only pops up about once or twice here.
Bottom line: loved it! Can't wait for her next offering
