One of my worst purchases

This book was absolutely dreadful. Based on the synopsis and the gushing reviews I expected a humorous historical romance, but this was so foolish it was appalling. The heroine, Gillian, is so accident prone that I don't understand how she survived to adulthood. What is supposed to be endearingly cute/funny comes across as witless behaviour on her part. The hero, Noble, is little better. I nearly understand why he treats Gillian so very badly (certainly I would've strangled her early on) but he seems a very one-dimensional character. The change in his attitude/behaviour by the ending is not convincing and far too quickly resolved. Some of the minor characters were good (those who were not thoroughly over-the-top), so I imagine Ms. MacAllister *could* write a decent book. But for now she's on my "don't ever buy again" list.

What a fantastic book- You must buy it. It is so funny, how can so many things happen to one person? I read this book in a day and have now passed it to a friend who doesn't usually read this kind of thing but I know she will love it! A romantic farce- in the nice sense of the word. Funny, funny, funny- well done Katie- More please!!!!!

What a disappointment!!

I was really disappointed with this book. The storyline is awful, the writing and dialogue poor and it in fact was so difficult to keep my interest, i did not actually finish the book. If you like reading historical fiction, try Judith McNaught instead. This book was DIRE.

BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!

This book was the best!!! This is the funniest romance I have ever read. I strongly recommend it, but make sure you read it on an empty bladder.

Completely Hilarious!

I have rarely read a story that can make me laugh out loud from start to finnish but here is one of the very few.
I picked this one up on the strength of its' reviews but i was still fairly dubious, as i usually prefer to read the blurb before i buy a book. However the previous reviewers were soon proven to be exactly right and i read the book from cover to cover in a couple of hours!
Immediately upon finnishing it i passed it around to all of my bookworm friends and they loved it just as much. I am waiting impatiently for another to to be published but in the mean time, in between re-reading it for the third time and searching for more stories that reach up to its' high standards, i am busy forcing it down the throat of anyone who has yet to enjoy the side-clenching humour!
Hurry and write another Katie!
