review 1: Having read the third book prior to books one & two, some of the suspense was removed for me. I knew that Lark and Oliver would end up happy in their marriage, and I knew that their baby would be a daughter named Phillipa. However, there was still much that was a surprise. The source of Phillipa's name, for instance, was a touching moment not far from the end of the book. The whys and wherefores of Oliver and Lark coming together as a couple, and Oliver learning to be an adult rather than continuing to act the spoiled adolescent - both fun to read throughout the book.I must say (and call me a prude if you wish) but I really like that there is not much sex outside of marriage in these books, and that which is mentioned is indicated as something that really is not approp... moreriate and there are no details. Granted, there are some steamy sex scenes in these books, but every single one of them takes place within a marriage. With all of the flippant attitudes towards sex these days, it's nice to see something with a little more of an "old-fashioned" tune.
review 2: Wow, picked this up in a thrift shop during a visit to the States lightyears ago. Don't think I've ever read anything by this author. Well, this was better than the cover and title led me to believe, or perhaps it was just particularly appreciated as the first book read on (almost) vacation? Hadn't read a novel set in the Henry's time in a while, and enjoyed the pluckiness of the author's tone. Not terribly plausible for protagonists to escape from execution, but hey, this is a romance novel... less
