Sumár recenzie
Džentlmen Jim od Mimi Matthews je nenáročná, romantická a oddychová historická romanca s dávkou tajomna a viktoriánskou a jemnou gotickou atmosférou. Hlavná hrdinka Margaret Honeywellová stojí medzi rodinným záväzkom a sľubom záhadného Nicholasa (Džentlmena Jima), pričom do deja vstupuje tajomný vikomt St. Clare, čo príbehu pridáva dobrodružné napätie. Knihu možno pokojne čítať samostatne a ocenia ju tí, ktorí hľadajú ľahké dovolenkové čítanie s príjemným záverom, recenzentka však vytýka nevhodný názov a chýbajúce prepojenie s prvým dielom.
