review 1: LOVED IT!!"Tempting Juliana", is another well written and highly entertaining Historical Romance. Dr.James Trevor, is also the Earl of Stafford. He was the 2nd son and never thought to inherit the Title. James owns New Hope Institute. This is a clinic that vaccinates anyone who wants if from Smallpox. This was a very interesting element in the storyline and pretty accurate to the times. James wants to eradicate Smallpox from England. Lady Juliana Chase is the matchmaker sister of the 3 Chase sisters. I read about her in Bk 1 "Lost In Temptation", also a very good book. Juliana decides to match James with her friend Amanda. Amanda has been betroth to Baron Malmsey and older gentlemen she doesn't want to marry. She goes to Juliana for help, The story has so many nice twist ... moreand turns that you can't figure out how Juliana and James will come together. Every Characters life has gone Topsy Turvvy with Juliana matchmaking schemes. Needless to say everyone gets a very nice HEA. Lauren Royal understands the Historical period that she writes in and she adds a bit of history in her telling of the story. I love the way she develops her cast of supporting characters in each book. Her stories are well developed and with layers of strong characters you want to get to know better. I Highly Recommend The Regency Chase Family series. Very enjoyable story!!
review 2: I couldn't finish this book despite trying hard. I put it down the 1st time & read a different book hoping that it would be better the 2nd time around but after reading a few more chptrs i decided it was a waste of time. It's funny because I've read several other of Lauren's books, 2 of which I really liked (Amethyst & Lily), another 2 which were average but i hated the heroine in this bk. Her character totally spoilt the story for me. I found her frivolous - supposedly wanting to marry 'for love' & has rejected many suitors but for physical imperfections mainly. How stupid is too dark or his hair is the wrong color? She's a big busybody in a way that i found unacceptable; meddling in people's love life by forging / making up love letters.When her much put upon brother introduces her to yrt another suitor she's all accepting for the reason that he is a Duke. How mercenary is that? The hero I liked. He inherits a title but continues selflessly in providing physician services to the poor - he has a clinic providing smallpox vaccinations. I hated that the heroine was all squeamish too. She can't even sew properly. In fact she doesnt seem to have any worthwhile skills other than knowing how to flirt. So shallow!Giving this whole series a miss. So disappointed. less
