Lady Books

When her twin brother runs through the family fortune, a young woman travel to London masquarading as a man to win back the money before her brother's creditor forces her into marriage. In London, she meets the honorable Major Wrotham who eventually penetrates her disguise and instead of despising her charade, becomes her biggest champion.

This book is so marvelous, because never once, does the heroine fade into a creature that must be saved by the hero. Instead, the hero, is just that, for the respect that he lends Lady Alex and the sensitivity he shows in helping her to be even stronger and more independent.

All of Evelyn Richardson's books are about strong independent women and the men that are secure enough with themselves to offer respect and support to the women they love. This is my favorite book by this author. A must read.

Alex Payton played a major part in Nikki Benjamin's story The Wedding Venture. Now he has his own story in The Lady and Alex Payton. This is an excellent story! Alex has had a very heartbreaking troubled life and he feels that he is damaged goods and does not deserve the woman that he loves, so six years ago he walked out on her. Now Alex discovers that she is in trouble and he knows that he is the last person that she would turn to for help, so he takes the advice of his best friend who is also her brother and he kidnaps Kari. Now alone in his secluded home in Texas he must get her to open up to him. Kari is in trouble and it could cost her life, but if she trusts Alex it could cost her heart. This story is filled with romance, mystery, and adventure. I loved hearing about Devlin and Laura from the Wedding Venture and finding out more about the mysterious Alex Payton. Nikki Benjamin is a darn fine author and I can not wait to read her next book.

The Lady and the Cad is a compelling story wonderfully reflected in its title. If there was ever a true mismatch, the Earl of Sutton and Eunice were it. The author does a masterful job at showing Eunice's innocence and her love for the Lord. That, combined with the Earl's lost state and desire for something better than what he'd always settled for, created a compelling story. This romance novel is truly inspirational and a real page turner. Better even than the regency novels written by Lori Wick (of which I've read all,) I highly recommend this Heartsong title. The author truly has a voice suited to the Regency period and I haven't read a more intriguing tale written by a Christian author reflecting that stuffy era. :)

This is a thoroughly enjoyable account of the journey of an American dress designer who brought out the first live panda from China. Ruth Harkness is an intrepid adventurer following the footsteps of her deceased adventurer husband to Shanghai in the 1930s and then on to the hills beyond Szechuan. Her wit, modesty, awe for the natural beauty of China and love of its people permeate her account. With much luck, and the help of a talented young Chinese explorer, she stumbles upon a baby panda and manages to bring it all the way back to the U.S. Harkness, unlike many of her contemporary trophy hunters, is very cognizant of the fact that a live panda in captivity will increase our understanding of this beautiful and elusive animal. She is one of the first conservationists. How many people know that the first live panda to be brought out of China was brought out in the 1930s by an amateur explorer? A must read for every panda lover. Every zoo in the world that has pandas should carry this book in their gift shop.

This book will appeal equally to the scuba diver who has either visited the wreck of the President Coolidge or is contemplating doing so and the serious historian.

Peter Stone's work is comparatively new to me but I have to admit that I have been very impressed with what I have seen so far. As mentioned in other reviews, I am currently researching every aspect of a number of ships which are regarded as some of the world's greatest "diveable" shipwrecks of which the President Coolidge is a leading example.

Having read this book and verified some of the details found within it's pages, I found a number of differences between what is published here and what is published by other leading authorities. On further investigation, however, I found Peter Stone's data to be the more accurate. Enough said.

The book contains a complete insight into, and history of, both ship and shipping line, details of the loss of the vessel plus that all-important aftermath and the way in which her master was treated, post-war salvage and modern-day diving. These are then followed by a number of Appendices containing additional relevant information and more.

Laid out in an easy-to-follow and immensely readable way, I view this as one of the most complete accounts of a single ship I have ever encountered.

I HAVE READ THIS BOOK SO MANY TIMES THAT I AM NOW ON MY SECOND COPY!! I WILL CERTAINLY LOOK FOR HER OTHER BOOKS ALONG THE SAME LINES. A DEFINITE WINNER!! I FEEL SO SEXY AFTER READING THIS BOOK, THAT MY HUSBAND WANTS ME TO READ IT ALL THE TIME!

Just as she has one character say to another in this terrific and enchanting book, "your goal is to entertain", the author heeds her own advice--in a truly superb manner.

This is the concluding book in a trilogy begun with THE FORTESCUE DIAMOND and continued into DeLACY'S ANGEL. Readers of these earlier books will not only be happy at becoming reacquainted with characters from them, but will delight in meeting several new and intriguing members of London society at the end of continental hostilities.

In this particular episode, we learn more about the Lady Serena Duchesne, who works hard to establish--and maintain--her reputation as an eccentric spinster. The daughter of a Duke, she also has a secret which she guards diligently. She is the anonymous author of several daring novels, written for and about the snobbish ton she knows so well.

Enter Mr. John Macy, "Gentleman" who arrives for the Season with impeccable letters of introduction. A retired master spy, the world of intrigue and danger threatens to reclaim him, if his interest in Lady Serena doesn't bring him down first.

This unlikely, but totally charming and slightly older couple combine their sharp intelligence to bring about several happy endings, but what else would one expect from an author who is positively a spell-binding storyteller and writer?

I loved the book because it gave so many pictures from the movie! It also did not go and spoil any of the parts. It felt like you were sitting there and watching the movie scene by scene! It also included two songs from the movie, which are "Bella Notte" and "The Siamese Cat Song." The Golden book company also did a good job on their Lady and the Tramp book, but it just did not have the Disney quality that I like. If I really could, I would give this book a hundred!

I think this book is great. I really like the dogs name Lady and Tramp, because they are very helpful dogs to the people and caring animals and thats what make me like about this book.It shows how much human an dogs love each other.

ALTHOUGH THE STORY IS QUITE ABBREVIATED IN THIS 14 PAGE BOOK, THE POP-UPS HAVE EXCELLENT ACTION AND THE STORY IS COMPLETE FROM CHRISTMAS TO CHRISTMAS.
