Definitely Wicked.......2007-06-12

The third book in the Malloren series, Something Wicked, Elf's story, is more on par with the first delightful book.

Elf, the twin sister of Cyn, has always longed for adventure and at age 25 resigns herself to the fate of spinsterhood. Elf longs for the one man she knows she can never have, family nemesis Fort Ware, the Earl of Walgrave. Fort carries hatred for the Malloren's that not only goes back to a long standing family fued, but the incident in which Fort has to shoot and kill his mad father. He blames the Malloren's for forcing this event into play, but the truth is he hates himself far more than anyone else and at times has hoped for death at the hands of the Mallorens. When a masked and disguised Elf stumbles across a couple of men plotting to kill the king, she is horrified to discover one of the pair is Fort. Fort, believing she is a French woman named Lissette, ties her up and takes her to his house where he is surprised to find he is attracted to her. Fort, suffering from depression over his father's and his own actions, has not been able to enjoy women in months...he offers Lissette the position of mistress and she refuses. Elf "Lisette" escapes but decides she wants one night with Fort and so disguises herself again as Lisette, and then finds and seduces Fort. We are next thrown into a grand adventure of treason, betrayal and passion at its rawest.

This book was so awesome mostly because of the revealed emotions of the hero and heroine. I love when an author lets you see inside a character to see all the emotions, lust, hate, love, both the good and the bad. Elf was delightful because she is strong, spirited and fun but not self destructive. Fort's intensity in everything he does whether its hate, sex, love is just great...unlike one of the characters in the previous books, he is allowed to have the feelings, even unreasonable, because he recognizes that they are unreasonable and acknowledges his own fault in his disasters. I hope Brand's story is half as good as this one.

a most unsuitable man, jo beverly.......2007-01-08

first off i gotta say that i loved the mallorens, so i may not be the most impartial reviewer. i liked "an unsuitable man" mostly because the female lead, was a strong woman, who took a some hard knocks, picked herself right back up, got on with her life and went after the things she knew would make her happy. i'm not gonna get into plot at all, the book flowed well and kept my interest from cover to cover.

Didn't care for it at all, she pursued the guy the entire book.......2006-10-09

Shesh, the heroine kept throwing herself at the guy the entire time, sending him gifts and slept with him, but he hated her family (and her). I realize it was the love of her life and all, but she shoulda had more self respect.

Unlikable characters.......2006-08-15

This book was horrible. The characters weren't very intelligent or likable. Elf (what a name!) is just a nimrod who thinks she's smart. And Fort (I kind of do like his name) is laughable as a hero or a seducer. He actually gave a speech to her about how he would handle any unexpected pregnancies while trying to get her into bed. So wierd.

Bad writing, bad characters.

Something boring........2006-06-20

I was thoroughly unhappy with Fort in "My Lady Notorious." I was not especially excited to read about him in "Something Wicked," but the reviews were promising. I should have stuck with my first instinct.

This book was incredibly boring. I found most of it to be about the plot against the king. I prefer not to have a whole lot of subplots in my romance novels.

Fort was not a likable hero. He sired two children out of wedlock and only supported them financially. What a jerk! I don't care if that was how things worked in the mid-18th century - I prefer my heroes to be a little more noble than that.

Elf bordered on desperate. Fort didn't deserve the attention or pursuit she afforded him. I think Fort should have realized his folly and pursued Elf. He was the jerk all along and should have been the one to lose his pride and pay the price.

Fort thoroughly debauches Elf and her brothers barely batted an eye. It seemed out of character for all of the Mallorens. And speaking of out of character, where was Elf's spunk? She became a doormat and showed very little backbone in dealing with Fort.

Some reviewers here on Amazon have commented on this book's sizzle. I have to say - I completely disagree. There were only a couple of sex scenes and they were short and very undetailed. If you are someone who likes vague, veiled sex scenes, this book's for you.

The ending seemed abrupt and a disappointing ending for such a long, drawn-out story.

I wouldn't waste my time with this one.

Book Description

In this classic of English architectural history (first published more than half a century ago), John Summerson provides a perceptive and highly readable account of a major building period in the history of London. Encompassing the architecture of the capital from the Great Fire of 1666 through the city's early nineteenth-century expansion, the book remains an indispensable guide to the genesis and development of Georgian London. Summerson examines the way in which building was conditioned by social, economic, and financial circumstances and discusses some of Britain's most important buildings and their architects. While Summerson's text is essentially unchanged in this edition, it has been corrected in the light of new research, expanded to include a few significant buildings that were originally overlooked, and enhanced with new illustrations. The Appendix of surviving Georgian buildings has also been carefully updated.

Book Description

The career of R DJ S Stevens (1757–1827) lasted from the late baroque to early romanticism. Trained as a choirboy, he was apprenticed at the age of eleven to William Savage, who undertook to instruct him in the "Science of Musick." After leaving Savage, Stevens pursued, somewhat unsuccessfully at first, a career as an organist. In 1782 his luck changed when he was elected an organist to St. Michael’s, Cornhill. He spent the rest of his life earning his living as a composer, organist, and music teacher whose pupils included the illegitimate daughters of Lord Thurlow, the Lord Chancellor. Among Stevens’s works is The Anacreontic Song, which serves as the melody for The Star Spangled Banner.

Book Description

Rebecca Schroeter, a talented musician herself, was seldom on stage, but always at the center of the bustle and socializing off it. Haydn, the most famous composer in Europe, met her and demanded her attention, with the relationship continuing until his death in 1809. Rebecca Schroeter's life is almost an archetypal one of the period—a romantically-inclined young woman, an ambitious and supportive wife, a favorite on the social scene. Peter Hobday balances an intimate account of her life with convincing historical detail to produce an accomplished portrait of the age.

Covent Garden Ladies: Pimp General Jack and the Extraordinary Story of Harris' List (Revealing History)

ASIN: 0752435469

Book Description

Harris’s List of Covent Garden Ladies was a bestseller of the 18th century, selling 250,000 copies in an age before mass consumerism. An annual "guide book," it detailed the names and "specialities" of the capital’s prostitutes. During its heyday, 1757–1795, Harris’s List was the essential accessory for any serious gentleman of pleasure. Yet beyond its titillating passages lay a glimpse into the lives of those who lived and died by the List’s profits during the Georgian era. Hallie Rubenhold has collected the funniest, ruddiest, and most surreal entries penned by Jack Harris, "Pimp-General-of-All-England" into this book.

Outstanding Fantasy Series........2001-04-18

The best capturing of what youd expect a fantasy city to be like.A handful of authors writing about people that live in a seedy city named 'Sanctuary'

Theres Warlocks,Thieves,Warriors,gods,hookers and politics hanging out in a shady tavern.Few authors attempt needlessly over worded stories.A plague of which most fantasy series suffer from.

If more authors focused on writing good stories instead of trying to be the next Shakespeare impressing us with their huge vocabulary,this would be the result.

An interesting if average collection of AD&D like stories........1997-05-11
