Summary: One of the worst Regencies that I have read...
Comment: The problem is not so much with the story (although it strains credulity at certain points) or with plot devices (although they also seem improbable) but with the way that the author has set up the books. One short chapter now and then is good, but a profusion of one-page chapters scattered through such a short novel is not good. The way that the characters respond to certain situations is also less than credible, and Lady Kate's reaction to her father's secret somewhat strains credibility (she acts through the book mostly like a puppet). By comparison, the hero comes across as more alive. Some of the minor characters are interesting, and their stories are *very* interesting.

Lady Kate's Secret could have been a very promising book. Unfortunately, the author first tries to take on too much (a complicated plot with way too many plot devices) and then dissipates the charm of her heroine. The courtship of the couple, not to mention the life story of the hero (given his age) sounds improbable, although the premise is not unreasonable. Finally, the real problem is the writing, by which somehow the characters and the story end up two-dimensional paper dolls. I have not read any of the author's other works, so I am not sure if this is a general problem in her writing or only in this particular book.

Summary: A great romance
Comment: I fell in love with Nicholas Monroe, the hero. Too good looking and confident, he is the perfect hero. This story had a cast of the most entertaining characters I've read in ages. It was really fun to read -a great romance.
