Play It Again, Seidel
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book is one of the best I've read all year. The characters are realistic and sympathetic without being paragons. The Regency soap opera is a great plot device that is so much more than mere device. Seidel uses the language beautifully and it seems downright tragic she is not better known AND that she's not really writin romances anymore. Her characters are engaging, her plots are tight and well-paced and her writing is incredible. I can't gush enough about this book enough. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
you'll read it again and again

Set in the interesting world of daytime soaps, this book feels real, the characters, the situations, the depth of feeling. Jenny Cotton is the author/producer of My Lady's Chamber who loves her job so much she can't bear to see it as 'work' and strives to recreate a family within her work environment (a common theme explored by KGS)When a new actor arrives on set, the experienced but wary Alec Cameron, he challenges and changes the dynamics and things start to shift.The clever weaving of a regency romance (the setting of the soap opera) and modern day television, the exotic world of TV and the reality of people's complex feelings, makes for a lovely novel. KGS writes beautifully as always, and I don't know why she is so underrated but if you can pick this book up, do, it is well worth it and a definite keeper.
Great characters

This is a wonderful story, with marvelous characters and a very unique "story within a story". "My Lady's Chamber", the Regency soap opera that is at the center of the story, would be a smash if it were real. As always, I fell completely in love with KGS's protagonists. Highly recommended
