Very enjoyable, though unrealistic at times…

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2022

A highly enjoyable read. I did find parts of it though highly unrealistic but in my opinion, that’s what fiction is for. A good book is one that keeps you to so entrenched you don’t want to put it down and when you get to the end, you still want more. The story was highly enjoyable. I enjoyed the different plots and twists that went on. I highly recommend Mary Jo Putney. I’ve been a fan of hers for over a decade. Love the Lost Lords Series. The series is best if read in order though, in my opinion.

Fun but Not So Believable Read

Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2013

Book had many characteristics of a romance novel, handsome hero, beautiful heroine, chemistry and decent plot. However, the heroine was not believable. There wasn't anything she couldn't do regardless of the situation. Really? I lost tract of her endless talents. I felt sorry for the hero. How could any man keep up with her. Oh well!

First I have to say I'm a diehard Putney fan so, even at her worst I really enjoy her books. The 3rd story of the Lost Lords should be the Lost Lord and his Lady. I loved this book! Kiri is a "take no prisoners' kind of girl. She knows who and what she is and she won't apologize for it. I can relate to that. Because she was raised primarily in India she has a different view of the rules that young english girls have to follow.

Once she meets Damien MacKenzie, she finally finds a man who doesn't view her as a "slut" because of her Indian blood, after overhearing the mother of the man she was considering as a husband, talking with her sister about Kiri's "heathen bloodline" and making disparaging remarks about her mother, Kiri leaves immediately. Unfortunately she's captured by smugglers, one of whom wants to rape and then kill her. Damien offers to buy her to help her get away. Of course nothing is that easy but they do get away.

Damien is adorable, he doesn't have any false pride or macho front. He also knows who and what he is and he knows that Kiri is way above the byblow son of a English baron and his actress mistress. He has his own code of honor. He is fully accepted by his brother and because they were so close, he was sent to school with his brother.

Damien owns a popular gambling club but works with Kirkland who runs an spy network against Napoleon. Kiri can identify people by their scent, thanks to her ability as a perfumer. She stops a kidnapping when she visits Damiens club and because she can identify one of the kidnappers by his scent, she insists on helping thwart a plot to disrupt English politics. They accept ther help because the plot has to be uncovered ASAP.

This book was humorous, exciting and very romantic. I loved it and I loved Kiri, she one of the most unconvential heroines ever. I think Ms. Putney has a winner and although it didn't influence the purchase - The price was fabulous! Thanks Ms. Putney (and Zebra) or thinking about your e-readers!

This was a story with constant suspense, adventure, and action. Kiri was quite an exciting character. I love all the gentlemen. They are such interesting characters. My hope was constantly that Mac and Kiri could be together. As always, the ending of the story was packed with action. The plot was foiled and everyone was happy.

I love Kiri and Mac! Love the unusual dynamic between them, love the organic development of their connection as it starts with passion and grows more emotional, and love the respect they each have for the other's strengths and weaknesses. This is a spectacular romance with adventure, suspense, and steam.

Loved the love and attraction that blossomed throughout the book. Loved the cultural differences and the extended family. Most of all loved the love and acceptance, that they never dreamed could happen.

This story is about two people who should never have met, were not suited to be together and a plot to kill the ruling British family! It was a fun read!

Loved It. The story was well written and the storyline well defined. The author drew the reader in and kept our interest throughout the story as well as allowing us to experience her characters many emotions. The story had intrigue, suspense, discoveries, betrayal, espionage, violence, love, and a happily ever after.

This is a new author that I haven't read until lately. I was hooked on the first book and bought the rest of the series in addition to other books by Mary Jo Putney. She is a skilled writer whose books are so interesting that you want to read the entire book in one setting.

I love historical romances and she presents her characters and time extremely well.
