BACK COVER REVIEW
The moment Polly entered the Chisholms' elegant garden party in her cut-offs, she knew the weekend was doomed. Polly didn't stand a chance of impressing her sister's future in-laws - especially Ben Chisholm, the authoritative older brother. Ben was everything Polly wasn't - or so she thought. Then one day on the beach his kisses aroused emotions in Polly that she'd never known existed. But ...

Lord Weylin catches her trying to sneak the necklace back, and so begins a delightful search for the meaning behind this mystery. Excellent ...

Joan Smith

John Curley & Assoc, 1978

Here's one for the keeper shelf.
The heroine Ella Fairmont is a bookworm and has a super secret identity as Miss Prattle, the gossip columnist for the Morning Observor. She is not high in the aristocracy, nor is she wildly beautiful, or considered terribly outgoing with broad interests. However, a lovingly scheming aunt gets them invited to a week long houseparty at The Duke of Clare's country estate. This event is widely ...

University of South Carolina Press, 2003

Spectacular Book for F. Scott Fitzgerald Enthusiasts!!
If you are a fan of F. Scott Fitzgerald, this book is an absolute must-have! While I own just about everything that is written by or about Fitzgerald, this is perhaps my favorite book to peruse. It is compiled just like a personal scrapbook and is replete with photos of the Fitzgeralds as well as articles (by and about Fitzgerald)written in the 20s and 30s. Much of this content you will not find ...

excellent Smith regency, but...
if you're looking for Christmas to figure heavily into the story it does not. This really doesn't take away from the story-in fact this book can be enjoyed anytime of the year. The story-of green country lass Cicely and handsome Lord Montaigne is a fun romantic comedy. Smith does a great job with the dialogue between the characters,very enjoyable to laugh out loud funny, The story also shows ...

Donna G. Humphrey

Ampersand, Inc., 2007

Passionate and moving
When Donna Humphrey met her death in 2005, she left a life that had been marred by sadness and depression. She had had her good moments, too, such as the births of each of her four children on the Kansas prairie. She was a woman of staunch faith, but, like Mother Teresa, spent many years feeling ignored by God. Her poetry reflects all of that--the highs and the lows--which made her who she was. ...

Reality !
This was a good book, and a must read for anyone considering becoming a host family. Joan reveals the day-to-day details of her experiences and describes what life becomes when a foriegn teenager comes to the USA. It reminded me of reality TV. A cross between "Seinfeld" and the Osbournes. Very enjoyable.

Fawcett, 1988

Delightful Joan Smith romance
This is one of my favorite Joan Smith Regency romances. The following is an excerpt from the back cover: "Pamela Comstock's semi-engagement to weak-kneed Nigel Raleigh interested neither party. Luckily for all, Nigel's gaze wandered to the Flawless Fleur, the lovely French actress taking London by storm. But when the star quite suddenly vanishes from Nigel's country estate, her dashing ...

Joan Smith

Isis Publishing Ltd, 2001

A Prudent Purchase
Joan Smith is one of the great writers of Regency Romance, and this book is a classic and a keeper. I bought it in hardcover because my paperback edition is falling apart after being read many times. In one of Ms. Smith's best efforts, colorful, 3-dimensional characters abound, the plot flows, and romance slowly blooms between two writers, Prudence Mallow and Lord Dammler. Prudence, shy and ...

Joan Smith, Susan Mesner

Time Warner International, 1992

Great Reference
OK, so I didn't exactly READ this book through... there are tens of thousands of quotations in here, along with such things as John F. Kennedy's complete inaugural address and other famous speeches in their entirety. When I was searching for "just that right quote" for a speech I was preparing, I found exactly what I was looking for, along with a dozen others I wish I could have used. And that ...

Wheeler Publishing, 1997

Really Enjoyed it!
This was a story about Catherine, a young vicar's daughter from a small town near Bath, who inherited a London house in a disreputable neighborhood, found herself involved in her tenants' interesting going-ons and also fell in love with one of them. It was written as a first-person tone, Ms. Smith did a wonderful job to display her characters, from main to sub-characters, even to street ...

Jehovah Jukebox

Joan Jobe Smith

Event Horizon Pr, 1993

incredibly remarkable woman
Jobe Smith has applied the word Jehovah as an adjective not as blasphemy. Such as did Erskine Caldwell when he wrote God's Little Acre. Well, I have read this book and it is a well-written and original bunch of slice-of-life poems about a single mother in the 1960s and her survival and struggle to make a living in the stinking misbegotten go-go bars of that era. It's a remarkable piece of ...

Future Perfect (Silhouette Romance)

Silhouette, 1984

From the back cover.
Past imperfect... Dolores Parker had never really believed that football hero Dutch Kampen could be serious about an egghead like her, so for years she'd tried to think of their college romance as a lighthearted diversion. Things hadn't changed much when Dolores returned to her alma mater as an english professor and ran into football coach Dutch. Together, the "grind" and the "jock" were ...

Adorable Children's Book
This is the sweetest book my son has ever read. It is totally geared toward children. My son loved recognizing the landmarks he has grown to love. A must read for all of Cleveland's children and anyone who ever thought about trying to explain relocation to their child.

Excerpt from back of book: "Although Charity did not share her father's unusual power and had never seen any ghosts, she didn't doubt his ability to communicate with the great beyond. From manor to manor they traveled to placate offending spirits... which gave Charity little opportunity to ...
