Overall rating: Five Hearts! Sensuality rating: Sweet
Reviewer: Brenda Talley November 23, 2006 |

Author Lesley-Anne McLeod, in her own inimitable fashion, weaves a tale both endearing and fun. Her characters are believable, and comfortingly normal. The 'mismatched' lovers are a perfect compliment to one another, and you find yourself rooting them on, just hoping they get together. And Clemmie finds in him a hero at every turn, the kind of man dreams are made of. If you enjoy a really good Regency love match, you've certainly found it in CLEMMIE's MAJOR. A real treat. Rating: 4.0 (out of five)
This novel will delight readers of Regency Romances with its lush descriptions of place and regency era clothing and manners. Clemmie is an engaging heroin of quiet strength. As a hero, Gideon fights both physical debility and class snobbery with intelligence and courage to win the woman of his dreams. Rating: * * * * stars <out of five>
|

Changing people's opinions can be a difficult process and breaking away from being the family anchor impossible, yet Clementina does so with ease. From one scene to another, McLeod weaves a magical tale of young love amid the dangers befalling the young earl. But all's well that ends well as Clemmie's Major pulls out the stops making this a great weekend read. |

Clemmie's Major takes a leisurely, homey pace to tell tale that is as much a story of family relationships as it is a romance. Exterior conflicts add elements of suspense-it's not at all dull-but the charm is in the characters and the characterization. Clemmie and Gideon are totally likeable people separated by a social gulf that appears uncrossable. The minor players have their own distinct personalities, failings and quirks, but Clemmie's influence brings out the best in all. Does she sound too good to be true? Don't worry; she's saved by grace and humor.
Clemmie's Major is apparently a debut novel for author Lesley-Anne McLeod, but it reads as though written by a veteran. She's obviously familiar with the world of the Regency romance, but she already has her own voice and displays an original viewpoint. Treat yourself to an excellent electronic book and join me in eagerly waiting for her next release. |

Clemmie's Major, by Lesley-Anne McLeod, is a wonderfully winsome novel. What appears to be a simple love story of two perfectly suited people soon has the reader guessing as the plot coils. From twins and sneaky siblings, to mysterious accidents and vanishing children, this book is a feast for the imaginative mind. Building the beginning of the story predominately with dialogue is challenging for the readers to immerse themselve into the story line. However, the author's fresh style and unpredictable plot proves that it is a book to endure. McLeod does an amazing job with making her characters realistic and lovable. From the first 'chance' encounter until the final scene, McLeod leads the reader through the stages of friendship to love. Clemmie's Major is an endearing love story that can truly be enjoyed. |
