Customer Reviews

One of my favorites!

I love pulling this book out to read when I need a fun read and a good laugh! I think it's cleverly written. It's delightful, romantic and funny. I like that the heroine is strong and intellectual. A great summer book.

Romantic Comedy the way it used to be

"Actress and the Marquis" reminds me of a 1930s romantic comedy--everyone's constantly going in opposite directions without realizing, everyone has a conflicting agenda and if a conversation can be plausibly misinterpreted, it will be. The comic timing is great, and it's always nice to see a heroine who has some focus for her life other than whether or not she marries the hero. This is Holbrook's best book, a charming romantic romp.

I loved this book!

It was well written with plenty of humor, interesting situations, and lots of "action" (not action action, but isn't stale and slow moving, unlike some).
