 Erotic April 22, 2008
The Devil Earl was not only a delight to read but in places was EXTREMELY erotic. At least I found it so. One of the most Erotic of her books that I've read so far.
I also found out that it is also part of a series that includes THE VICAR'S DAUGHTER, TEMPTING KATE AND THE LAST ROGUE. Each book mentions a character that is in other books. I found this out by reading the Devil's Earl and realized that Raleigh, a lead character in THE LAST ROGUE also knew the characters mentioned in this book as well as the others mentioned previously.
Normally I would wait to read any other book in a series until I've read them in order, but alas I'm already into THE LAST ROGUE, which I'm throughly enjoying, and will just have to wait to read the other two in the series.
Deborah is a wonderful author who will join the ranks of my other favorite authors like Johanna Lindsey, Rosemary Rogers, Monica McCarty, Jude Deveraux, and Margaret Moore.
Harlequin Historical September 6, 2005
This was a great fun quick read. This is the romance between Prudence and Lord Ravenscar. In this book you have a mix of healthy respectful mature romance with subplot of mystery. I was delightfully surprised - I plan to find more Deborah Simmons.
Not bad August 23, 2004
I thought this book was pretty good. Prudence is a writer of gothic novels and is taken by surprise when she meets the "Devil Earl" a man that in no little way resembles a gothic hero. Unfortunately many believe that the Devil Earl killed his brother and it is up to Prudence to clear his name.
I liked the gothic elements found in this novel. I do however feel that the characters could have been better developed. Overall this is a relatively light, quick, and fun read!
 A disappointment September 21, 2003
2 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have read many romance novels and having read Simmons' other book The Last Rogue, thought it would be up to par with that book's comedy and bittersweet wit. This was an absolute mess of a novel. Let me just say no proper young lady worth her salt as Prudence makes herself out to be would ever consent to accompanying a gentleman to his house! Even though the chaperone is dragged along, she is conveniently absent when Prudence and Sebastian want to be alone for their first time. The utter lack of disregard for her lost virtue is a disappointing character flaw. I know this is just a romance novel, but isn't a heroine supposed to be virtuous? There are some redeeming qualities, such as Sebastian's need for redemption and the way he notices her ink-stained hands, which is the first thing that he notices, and ultimately draws him to her. Otherwise the remaining characters are nothing but filler and a total waste of paper. The love scenes could have been more sutle and perhaps, a little more tender. I'm lucky I got this at a used bookshop. One of these days I'm going to write my own. These quick and easy romances are killing me!
A cute, quick read.... July 8, 2003
"The Devil Earl" was such fun! I absolutely loved Sebastian...he could be difficult at times, but I adored him anyway. I definitely feel that this was Sebastian's book. Though he and Pru were both well drawn, I felt that he was a bit more fleshed out. I enjoyed reading his point of view and getting to know him throughout the book. My one complaint here is that the mystery is solved when there is still a bit of reading to do. It made it drag a little towards the end...the last 20 pages or so felt unnecessary. Other than that..A fast fun read.
