Counterfeit Lady Jude Deveraux 9780671020118 Books

My review is going to sound much like the other reviews, so I'll keep it brief.I've read nearly every book written by Jude Deveraux. Some of her novels are wonderful and beautifully written with deep, loveable characters. Others are just so-so, that linger too long on the annoying shallow characters and too many sex scenes. This is one of the so-so ones. The depiction of the south during the late 1700s is wonderful, richly written, and spell-binding. The characters are shallow, superficial, oftentimes extremely stupid, and just really annoying. I'm not going to tell anyone not to read it because if you are a true Jude Deveraux fan, you can't NOT read it. But, just keep all of this in mind when you do. By the end of the book I was rolling my eyes at the fact that someone else was plotting to hurt/ kidnap the main heroine for the THIRD time....really? It could really happen that many times to the same person in the span of 2 years?? It just got annoying. Just let the couple supposedly "in love" (although they spent much of their time having sex rather than getting to know each other), be together already! And yes, as almost all the other reviews mentioned, Jude definitely mentioned the fatness of the other main character WAY too many times; we got the picture that she was fat after the first time she mentioned it. So, if you are going to buy this book I would suggest not spending $7.50 for it on Amazon, go out and find it on EBay or a used bookstore, it's definitely not worth that much. And enjoy the description of the south and the clothing, that's pretty much all that's historically correct.

It's been a long while but I don't recall this book ending so abruptly. I'll check next time I see it at a store.

It's still a favorite, the James River books are wonderful. Though I've always started with this as book one because the events here lead to River Lady and Lost Lady.
This book was great, however, it should be the first book listed to read in the "River Lady" series. Because of the way has them listed, I read this as the last book. has them completely reversed. BEWARE! Great to read all three but would have been much better in the right order!
If you are a fan of historical romance novels; Jude Deveraux is the Queen of novelists. I love this series starting with Sweetbriar, she follows family members of the original family and friends and how their families expand and grow. And while the men are all good looking, strong, and unfortunately they underestimated--the women in their lives. But to their surprise, the women have stood up for themselves and leave the nest and in some cases the women become self-sustaining and wealthy in their own right...making the men court them on their own level.....as an admirable and competent lady who will not be easily "domesticated". It ranges from making the reader laugh at the situations the women trap the men into, and the next moment, you're scared to death as the plot blows up and backfires. Ultimately proving that women are not necessarily superior to men, but instead equal, shocking both of them, while the sparks begin to start a new kind of love based on respect. I love Countereit Lady, It stole my heart as surely as Nicole's heart was stolen by Clayton Armstrong. No matter how dire the situation may be, ultimately LOVE wins every time. I recommend all of Jude Deveraux's books, but the Counterfeit Lady series has been in my heart since I first read it over 30 years ago and now I am re-collecting the series electromically, try it -- it's like potato chips----you can't just read one!! Thank you for helping me to put my new electronic Jude Deveraux collection once again at my fingertips! God bless AMAZON.
A story around a plantation and owner who thought he was in love with his brothers wife and met a lady who looked like her and wanted her - she didn't want him so he made arrangements to have her kidnapped and brought to his plantation. Only the men kidnapped her maid and so the story begins, about love, confessions, moods, greed and survival
Maybe it's just me but doesn't the main character lack any heroic qualities whatsoever. I never fell for this guy. He was weak and kinda sick in the head. This weird fixation (Bianca) on the image of his past weird fixation (brother's wife) really seemed on the verge of insanity. The only one who I was endeared to was Nicole. She stayed strong and in most cases wore the pants in this book.

I truly felt sorry for the spoiled, Bianca. Nobody deserves to be treated so nasty but most especially it should not be made out to be a good thing to call people some pretty aweful names. In the beginning of the book she was just a spoiled, pampered brat but after being ridiculed and verbally abused. Even the children were allowed to treat her badly.

I just didn't care much for this book. I can honestly say it was not a bad read but I felt I was disagreeing with the author the entire time.
Ending was not really an ending but a sudden stop. Some discrepancies in the story with the timeline which escape me at the moment but I remember they are there. Was a good story but could have been polished more to fix the errors and give a more meaningful ending, maybe with an epilogue introducing the next characters in the next book while giving us our last loving glimpses at our two departing MC’s
I have loved Jude Deveraux’s books for years. I am surprised I never had read this one. The story had so many twists I almost became exasperated. It was a very good love story and I really felt for the characters and the many challenges they faced. I would highly recommend this book if you are a fan of this author.
