Customer Reviews

I loved this book and you will too!

If you are a true lover of the Regency genre, buy this book. I have no idea what the other readers are talking about. I was positively delighted with The Dangerous Baron Leigh. True, the book moved quickly into the romance, but isn't that what we want? Cuddle up with this book by the fire and you won't be disappointed. As always, Ms. Hendrickson delivers a wonderfully satisfying Regency romance.

hopeless in Boston

I certainly agree with this book's second reviewr. I urge other readers to completely disregard Ms. Boston's appraisal...She is overly critical in addition to being ignorant of regency vocabulary. English is an ever-evolving language, and there will, of course, be words that were once used that have fallen out of common usage. Pitty for her that she can't appreciate the author's success in reserecting a regency "feel" for her book.

Difference of opinion

The Reader from Boston is, of course, entitled to her opinion, with which I heartily disagree, but she should be aware that Ms. Hendrickson is probably the premier expert today on the Regency. Her reference book is a veritable bible for authors of Regency romance. For Ms. Boston's information, btw, a woman could, indeed, be a baronness in her own right, although it was rare. They could hold other titles as well, on occasion. At least one of the Duchesses of Marlborough held that title in her own right. I, personally find Ms. Hendrickson's books a delight, and her research is impeccable.
