The Bachelor List

by Jane Feather

Customer Reviews

You really need to read the Trilogy

This is a great book! Per some of the other comments, the three books really do flow together and this one does not end with a resolution. That is the entire point of a trilogy to keep the story going. I Loved Constance and Max. Constance is a stronge willed woman who was nothing like women of her time. Max is pretty realistic to the traditional man of his era. Both have to compromise to make their relationship work.

Wonderful!

I really loved this book. The first page hooked me and I was a goner from there. Constance, Prudence, and Chastity are very well-developed characters that make you feel as if you know them personally. The story is very good with secret newspapers, self-indulgent papas, and a rather explosive relationship with a parliment member. I rather good read. I enjoyed every minute.

i really liked it

i had an overkill of romances and stopped reading them for a while in favour of biographies when i picked up The Bachelor List- it was fantastic after all that serious reading it was fun and fabulous.. quite a few people didn't seem to like, but to me, it was the perfect thing on a lazy afternoon or a stressful day at work- perfect!

wonderful!

I really enjoyed this book by a talented writer. I enjoyed the characters, their arguing, their finding love can change us all.Since this is first in a set of 3 books, I will be eagerly looking for the next in the series.

a brilliant new Trilogy from master storyteller Feather

Jane Feather has been turning out well-crafted tales for so long, to where you expect somewhere along the way that she might loose steam and let readers down, as many of the other bigger names in Romance seem to be doing these days. Well, if she does...it will be another day, for this book is a smashing good time!First in a trilogy about the Duncan Sisters - Constance, Prudence and Chastity - they are not the Victorian misses their names would lead one to believe. They are strong women's righters and publish - anonymously of course - a suffragette rag called "The Mayfair Lady". In no hurry to marry, sister number 1 - Constance runs headlong into Max Ensor, a member of parliament, and sparks and fur fly! For Max's view on a woman's place in society vastly differ from the fiery Constance - in fact that are diametrically opposed! But politics be damn, when sexual attraction pull two such together, and we know they will fall in love. Feather keeps the pace moving with witty repartee between Max and Constance, and it's fun to watch their love round off the harsh edges of both of their beliefs, especially as they struggle to learn the day-to-day way to make a marriage a marriage and not a battle ground. Max and Constance leap off the pages. They are intelligent, adults and as they try to score points on the others, it will keep readers delighted. This one is a KEEPER and leaves us desperate for the next two tales in the series.Very highly recommended!
