Customer Reviews

All the elements of a great story. . .

This was a very refreshing story. the main character was very bold, charming, honest and innocent. it reminds us of how life and love should really be! open and refreshing; like that cool glass of water you crave for after a long race or hike up a mountain. in the end it's so very satisfying!

enjoyable read

hello, I normally do not write reviews,but I really enjoyed this book.Sometimes I find that mrs. camp doesd not add enough charactor to her stories,not so with this book.I really liked the heroine charity,and I felt that she was someone that was relatable and fun.

WELL YOU CAN'T SATISFY EVERYONE --

I found the story light hearted and naive, just like the young ladies of that era. Yes many time they act silly [in our views] but at least Charity Emerson was not a whiney, fainty kind of girl at 18. Simon "Devil" Dure has inherited the Earldom on the death of his brother [never quite explained] but is protecting his emotions from being ravaged again by love. He blames himself for the death of his young wife but now must procure an heir. He is on the verge of offering for Selena Emerson, the eldest of the Emerson girls who happens to love a lowly reverand. Not the marriage to the pastor, her mother, Caroline invisions for her. The Emerson's need someone with money in order to bring out the younger girls, Elspeth, Horatia, and Belinda. I loved the simplicity of Charity's idea of approaching Simon Dure in his own home [which of course, is not done] - Dure is taken aback that this child/woman had the audacity to come to his establishment. He is entrigued by her arguments that he should marry her and not her sister. She actually brings laughter and amusement into Dure's life. He is finding it hard to adhur to the year long engagement as she unwittingly sends his desire into overdrive. Shall we say that he gets a bit hot around her? We meet Venetia, his sister who is being blackmailed by Faraday Reed, who considers himself quite a ladies man. And then there is the foolish Mrs. Theodora Graves, who deludes herself that Dure would marry her. Oh, we can't forget the mutt of a dog, Lucky and guess what Charity brings home? Churchill, the funny little monkey who stirs up a lot of trouble. Yup! Dure is finding it hard to resist Charity and her kisses and she does take advantage of the man and his weaknesses. She is not afraid to get down and dirty and play with her sisters or seduce Dure. I don't care for 400 page stories but this just keeps leading you on - couldn't stop reading and was not in a hurry [as in some books] to get to the end. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED --m You may want to read this one again.

Georgette Heyer

Take an idea and book by Georgette Heyer ("A Convenient Marriage" I believe) complete with all the contents of the the Heyer book: the heroine asking the hero to marry her instead of her sister, the hero's sister being blackmailed by the cad, and several misunderstandings. Add in a good murder mystery and you've got a great book!

WONDERFUL!!!

"Suddenly" was the first romance book I ever read and I immediatly fell in love with her writting. The characters were people I wanted to know personally. I recommend this book to everyone.
