A romantic comedy in print form

I love all of Lansdowne's regency romances. They've got adventure & romance & they always make me laugh out loud. And it's PG rated so you can loan it to your younger sibling without fear.

Magic!

Forget the silly "Nightingale" series and read two of the novels that changed my mind about the Romance genre for the better. I'm speaking of Judith Lansdowne's "Legion's Ladies" and "Amelia's Intrigue", the latter you'll have to scour second hand book stores for, I fear. I couldn't put either of books down - not because of the (of course) love story, but because Ms. Lansdowne writes *friendships* so beautifully! I fell madly for Legion and saw him through the eyes of friends and relatives, a tender, loveable, vulnerable, strong, witty, caring, beautiful man with the ability to change the lives of all those he comes in contact with - he unwittingly makes others fall for his natural charm, both women and men. "Amelia's Intrique" with two of fiction's most warm, loving, endearing men, is my favorite Lansdowne novel but "Legion's Ladies" is a very close second. Unfortunately her other novels seem to slip into the annoyingly patterned boy meets girl/miscommunication scenario with little thought to character development and friendships (which she does on par with the amazing Patricia Veryan).

Absolutely Wonderful!

What a fantastic novel! It combines a great deal of suspense with several romances, the main one being between the Earl of Wright ("Legion") and Eleanor, the vicar's sister (not daughter, as the back cover erroneously states). As with several Lansdowne heroes, the earl has issues from his past to overcome before he can truly settle down and be happy with his lady. However, he is without a doubt loveable and tender and his habit of taking care of ladies in distress is quite endearing. The female leads are strong, courageous, and yet not at all anachronistic, which I found a refreshing change from the normal spunky heroine. The story is smoothly developed, the conclusion is very satisfying, and the romances are all extremely convincing in their development as well. I couldn't recommend this book more to any fan of great writing, let alone Regency romance.

Another Treasure!

This is another beautiful story from the magical pen of Judith Lansdowne. As with her other wonderful Regencies, this story is told with fluid style and grace. It is quite unusual as the hero spends a great deal of his time bedridden and it is through the other charming and loveable characters that you get to know and dearly love our hero, the Earl of Wright (Jocelyn). This is a touching novel filled with humour, wit, and stunning characterizations. You will want to read this one over and over.. A real keeper! (I don't think Judith Lansdowne could write a bad novel even if she tried! What a wonderful storyteller!
