Disappointing. She should stick to the Vamps

First I must say I have adored Lyndsay Sands' books for some time now, but I have been disappointed with this series. The first two books, I was able to suspend disbelief as the characters were fun and engaging and the plot entertaining. This last book, however, the heroine is an idiot. I'm sorry, she is. I just found myself rolling my eyes at everything from her flawed reasoning to her lack of sense. And Robert was little better. I found it very hard to believe the explanation given as to why he didn't wish to marry. It was too convenient, an artifice to manipulate the plot and an obvious one (as was most of the happenings in this story). The historical inaccuracies were overlookable to a point, butthe more I read, the more ridiculous and unbelieble it got, and by the end I was reading just to mock because it was THAT bad. The villan was unbelievable and overdone (though his death was entertaining. Stupid, and unlikely given how bright he had been to that point, but entertaining).
Plotwise, it's predictable. Boringly so. I'd have to say this is Ms. Sands' weakest novel to date, lacking believeable, lovable characters and having a ridiculous and overdone plot which was mostly implausible. There was little humor, little spark between the hero and heroine... In all honesty, the best written character in this book is Lisa's maid, Bet.
I think Ms. Sands should spend more time writing her sexy Vampires and stay out of Victorian England. She just doesn't have the gift to write it well. This book won't make it to my shelf. It's going in the circular file under my desk.

This is my second Lyndsay Sands book and probably my last. While I think the premise of the book probably could have been worked in to a good story, it was not. Several reasons why in my opinion. First the heroine was incredibly naïve or just plain stupid to have gotten herself into such a situation in the beginning of the book. The hero.....well, I rather like him but he also seemed to lack a bit of good sense. Not exactly my cup of tea.
The most glaring problem to me as an avid reader of historical romance was that these characters neither acted nor spoke or any way seemed real to the time period. The heroine's "ruin" seemed but a blip on the radar to her, her sisters and her brothers. The language was too modern, the conversations and attitudes way ahead of the time.
While I will probably not, as I said, buy another Sands book I think perhaps her books are geared to a younger audience, who while liking the setting of a past era but don't really like the constraints and morals of the day. If you are Lyndsay Sands lover, you will probably enjoy the book. If you are not and enjoy historical romance with at least a passing nod to the real day to day life of a past era, skip this book. You will probably be disappointed.

Husband Hunt - Lynsay Sands (ARC--supplied by publisher)
This was a delightful end to the Madison Sisters Trilogy. I will miss them all! I love Lynsay Sands historical romances and this one did not disappoint me.
Lisa Madison has loved Robert Langley for quite some time now. And now that she is older, she also lusts for him. Lisa would like to get married to Robert, but he believes that the men in his family are cursed to never have faithful wives, so he will NOT be getting married! Now there is someone else in London who lusts after Lisa...they have called him "The Suitor", he has used nefarious means to try to capture Lisa... and I really mean capture.
This is a lovely mystery as well as a romance and Lynsay keeps you wondering just who The Suitor can be. It also gives Robert a reason to stay by Lisa's side thereby finally succumbing to the inevitable. This may be thought to be a predictable novel, but then what historical romance really isn't? As long as I get Lynsay's usual dose of humor, steam, stubborn men and feisty women I'm thrilled. Moreover, "The Husband Hunt" has all of that and more.
