Here is what people are saying about the A Season of Virtues
 "Very fun read" | 2006-02-26 |

| A very enjoyable read, with a refreshingly different hero who isn't hesitant to speak his feelings of love out loud. Now THAT is truly unique in a regency romance! In fact, all three courting males in this story (yes, there are THREE romances going on) are very upfront about their romantic feelings toward the woman of their choice. I found myself having to remind myself occasionally just WHICH male was courting WHICH female, but that is a very minor detriment. Lots of DELIGHTFUL humor, as is typical for Lansdowne. |

Did I read a different book from everyone else below?
This book was AWFUL. From terrible grammar to inability to manage point of view to silly characters to ridiculous, unbelievable plots to, ultimately, a book which made me want to scream. I actually felt like throwing it away after only three pages. I should have done it then, actually; by the time I made it to the end of the book I swore I would never read anything by this author ever again.
Lansdowne invents new speech verbs all over the place. 'He nodded' is supposed to be a speech verb, as is 'she smiled' or 'he sighed' and similar non-speaking actions. Ms Lansdowne, if someone nods at me I don't hear entire sentences! Not unless s/he SPEAKS at the same time!
And her perspective is all over the place. I no sooner get used to being in one character's head when, hey presto, I'm in another. And another. And yet another. I'm getting dizzy trying to take in so many people's points of view! Has Ms Lansdowne ever heard of picking a viewpoint character and *staying* with that character for an entire scene? Try it. It's refreshing. And easy on the reader, too!
The characters. What an idiotic assembly! So Whit is supposed to be an amateur detective, yes? Therefore, one assumes, sharp-witted, intelligent and not easily fooled? So why does he allow his mother to pull stupid tricks on him all the time? Why is he apparently taken in by the incredibly thin tale dreamt up by the clichéd runaway heiress? And why does he not get impatient by Honor's continued butting in to his plans? As for the clichéd runaway heiress, I was rolling my eyes. Apart from the simply incredible plot at this point, I couldn't understand why everyone didn't just tell her to grow up and stop being so pathetic (as well as telling so many lies).
There are times when I wish that Amazon would allow reviews to give a zero-star rating. This is one book which definitely deserves it. A true stinker.

| No one can keep so many characters and so many sub-plots so well coordinated and so perfectly in balance like Judith Lansdowne. The woman is amazing in her ability to organize and manage her novels so that they read like a snap-shot of reality with a million things that are going on at the same time, and all making perfect sense. Judith Lansdowne writes with her usual humor and originality. Her characters always have that little extra something that removes them from the realm of the ordinary and elevated them to wonderfully amusing beings that you'd love to meet and befriend. Whitshire and Honor fall in love gently, logically and naturally, like most people in real life.. only they are not so average or normal at all, even if they don't fight all the time! |

| Garrett Forester, Earl of Whitshire, had a most unusual hobby. He collected murderers. He didn't need his beloved mother bringing guests to his London house while he was in the midst of another murder investigation. Yet he found Honor Virtue quite taking and truly liked her sister and brother. A lovely young runaway from the horse show complicates his life even more, as does objects mysteriously appearing in his house. Judith A. Lansdowne never disappoints. If you love humor with your romance and would rather your heroine and hero not be at each other's throats throughout most of the book, buy a Lansdowne. Whitshire is definitely a man of many talents who loves his life. There are two other romances and three mysteries to solve, not an easy task for an experienced author to keep straight. No worries, Lansdowne can do it. |

 "A Wonderful Story by a Wonderful Author" | 1999-02-05 |

| An unusual plot unfolds as the Earl of Whitshire hosts three young people at his mother's request. These guests bring an extra visitor, who is hiding from her past, a pile of secrets and lies and danger. This all interfers with the fact that the Earl likes to collect murderers. The characters are well developed, as is Ms. Lansdowne's usual. Whit is a little unsure of himself when it comes to the ladies, and Honor is just bold enough to provide some entertaining exploits. For the delectation of the reader, all the secondary characters are also creative. The mother is sought after by many in the ton, but is amusing as she attempts to make a match for her son. The brother is brave and heroic (of course), the sister supportive of all fun, and even the villians add a touch of enjoyment. Lansdowne writes a wonderful story with a touch of humor, mystery and romance which I couldn't put down. Whether you're a ususal Regency fan or not, this is definately an excellent read. And when you're done this one, read "Amelia's Intruige" this author's all-time best! |
