THE HEARTBREAKER Author: Rexanne Becnel ISBN: 0312983123 11/2003 HISTORICAL Publisher: ST. MARTIN'S PRESS
THE HEARTBREAKER is a refreshingly different Regency about a rogue taking on the responsibility of his illegitimate daughters and a virtuous country woman raising her natural born niece. Even if you haven't read the previous books in Becnel's series, which I have not, you will have no trouble following the story or the characters. (Series books must stand alone or they don't work for me since I often read books out of order.) I was pleasantly surprised by the way his "natural" children were presented. No excuses were made for the hero's past actions, in regards to his conquests and his children. Despite that, Becnel managed to make him into an interesting and desirable character, more than redeemable. Readers who hate TSTL heroine will love Phoebe Churchill. She has starch and pluck. This one is a must read for Regency fans. Maria |
