Product Description
Nicola always gets what she wants. Nicola Sparks, sixteen and an orphan, is ready to dive headlong into her first glittering London society season. She's also ready to dive headlong into the arms of handsome and debonair Lord Sebastian Bartholomew. Nicola's dream is a proposal from the viscount—a dream she's about to realize at last! So naturally, Nathaniel Sheridan's insinuations about her fiance's flawed character annoy her mightily. But when Nicola's natural curiosity gets the best of her, she begins to piece together a few things for herself. To her great surprise, Nicola realizes she's had the wrong viscount all along . . . but is it too late to make things right?

I bought this for my daughter for Christmas who is starting to really get into romantic stories. She loved it and said she would recommend it for any young girl who loves happy endings!

I bought this for a gift for a 13 year old girl and she was thrilled. She loves this author so I bought her numerous books from Meg Cabot. It made her Christmas. She loves to read and I gave her plenty of reading material to last her... for about a week. :) She doesn't put the books down until she's done reading them.
 Enchanting Tale February 15, 2007
This is a historical book for teens, and is definitely a take-off of Jane Austen in many ways. The time period is the early 1800s and the young women of that era (those about 16 or 17) are already seeking husbands and becoming engaged. Nicola, an orphan, is no different. She has become engaged to one of the most eligible bachelors in town - Lord Sebastian. But, is the fair-haired Lord all he seems? The book is part mystery, a part growing-up tale, and a cutesy romance. I really enjoyed Nicola and her headstrong ways, and she was a lot of fun because she spoke her mind and did what she wanted. I loved the old-fashioned way of writing, but Cabot definitely interlaced the book with a lot of modern humor. For instance, Nicola has just completed a finishing school for women, and tries desperately to fulfill the duties of a proper lady. She is hardly ever successful, and Cabot uses almost ever social outing of Nicola's to inject humor over her lack of ladylike qualities. A really different approach from Meg Cabot and a really cute book for female readers.
Surprise! July 13, 2006

This book surprised me because Meg Cabot generally writes more modern themed books. That is one of the reasons I got it, to see if Cabot wrote another excellent book. I was happy to see that she had! Nicola and the Viscount is about an orphan girl named Nicola who lives in the late 1800s. She is madly in love with a gentleman named Lord Sebastian Bartholomew. When she learns that Lord Sebastian isn't quite who she thought he was, she doesn't know what to do.
This book was nicely written and the story was good, but it lacked excitement. Everything just happens to fit into place perfectly, when she is in danger there just happens to be somebody there to save her. Theres no feeling of, "OMG whats going to happen next!" like there is in most of Cabots books.
Luckily, that is my only complaint! Another great book by Cabot!

Of course this book has limitations. But when all is said and done, it's fabulous. Entertaining, fun, adorable, all the right amounts of romance, humour, and suspense. This is the kind of light chicklit historical romance that you'd think so many should be able to pull off, but they don't. I LOVE the element of the love interest whom she's known her whole life and is too stupid to see right in front of her and oblivious to the fact that he's falling in love with her. There is nothing particularly surprising about the plot and characters, it's just all done so well that you wonder why others can't replicate, why something so simple that can produce such delight isn't replicated more often. Hilarious, warm, consistently entertaining, this made me smile the whole way through and I absolutely fell in love with Nicola and her..for the purposes of not spoiling the plot, let's just say her man. The point is, this is a great chick-flick-ladies-and viscounts novel, that every single person, whether a teen or not, should enjoy. (And watch out for those lethal brown eyes!)
