Very fun read

A very enjoyable read, with a refreshingly different hero who isn't hesitant to speak his feelings of love out loud. Now THAT is truly unique in a regency romance! In fact, all three courting males in this story (yes, there are THREE romances going on) are very upfront about their romantic feelings toward the woman of their choice. I found myself having to remind myself occasionally just WHICH male was courting WHICH female, but that is a very minor detriment. Lots of DELIGHTFUL humor, as is typical for Lansdowne.

Witty and delightful.

Garrett Forester, Earl of Whitshire, had a most unusual hobby. He collected murderers. He didn't need his beloved mother bringing guests to his London house while he was in the midst of another murder investigation. Yet he found Honor Virtue quite taking and truly liked her sister and brother. A lovely young runaway from the horse show complicates his life even more, as does objects mysteriously appearing in his house.Judith A. Lansdowne never disappoints. If you love humor with your romance and would rather your heroine and hero not be at each other's throats throughout most of the book, buy a Lansdowne. Whitshire is definitely a man of many talents who loves his life. There are two other romances and three mysteries to solve, not an easy task for an experienced author to keep straight. No worries, Lansdowne can do it.

A Wonderful Story by a Wonderful Author

An unusual plot unfolds as the Earl of Whitshire hosts three young people at his mother's request. These guests bring an extra visitor, who is hiding from her past, a pile of secrets and lies and danger. This all interfers with the fact that the Earl likes to collect murderers. The characters are well developed, as is Ms. Lansdowne's usual. Whit is a little unsure of himself when it comes to the ladies, and Honor is just bold enough to provide some entertaining exploits. For the delectation of the reader, all the secondary characters are also creative. The mother is sought after by many in the ton, but is amusing as she attempts to make a match for her son. The brother is brave and heroic (of course), the sister supportive of all fun, and even the villians add a touch of enjoyment. Lansdowne writes a wonderful story with a touch of humor, mystery and romance which I couldn't put down. Whether you're a ususal Regency fan or not, this is definately an excellent read. And when you're done this one, read "Amelia's Intruige" this author's all-time best!

Excellent book, great characters, interesting story line.

Excellent book with characters you care about, and a good plot line. Main male character is calm and strong, with a good sense of humor and main female character is the same. Humor important with these two. Also, like subplots with other male and female characters. Everyone likeable and you care about all of the characters. Makes you want to investigate all of Lansdowne's other stories. Not sensual, but the characters are so lively that you can accept the lack thereof. Very good story. A keeper.

Mind candy...but not too sweet...chocolate covered pretzels.

A silly book...but a *good* silly. All of the characters are just a little bit "over the top" for a Regency. I giggled quite often while reading it (and I don't usually do that). I have read a lot of Regencies that I didn't even finish, much less keep...this one's a keeper.
