This book was fairly okay. I found the heroine mostly annoying. If you don't mind getting fustrated with the way the characters think/act towards each other, then you'll find a little enjoyment in your time reading it.

I can't beleive I bought this book! It was too rushed I am used to the heroine and hero caring for each other first before falling into bed together. I mean they were already doing it in the second chapter!! I only read the first couple of chapters and couldn't get myself to read anymore. I rather like books like Jude's "Knight in Shining Armor."
This novel really turned me off it's almost more like a bad contemporary novel than a historical one. I found the heroine irritating and way too childish and the hero could of been likeable if he wasn't too "easy." I'm sorry Mrs Deveraux but this type of romance was definately not my type. My recommendation for the reader definately borrow it first before you decide to buy.

Ah. Jude does it again! It seems like lately, all I want to do is to sink into a romantic book and let the characters' love life and problems sweep me away ~~ I can count on a good ending which is what I need at this time. This book didn't disappoint me! I thoroughly enjoyed this book ~~ in spite of a busy life as mother of toddler twins and a wife ~~ I managed to "escape" for a few hours in reading this novel.

Regan manages to escape her overbearing uncle and guardian and lost her finace ~~ only to land into Travis Stanford's arms. Never wooed or courted by the demanding Travis, Regan falls hard in love with this rugged American. Then she left him ~~ and that is when the novel really got to be fun for me! The heartaches they both suffered because of their stubbornness, but Travis really came through in the romance department.

This is a perfect novel for these chilly winter nights ahead ~~ it is bound to carry the reader away into a land of romance and happy endings.

This is not one of Jude Deveraux's best stories, but it is very good. If you don't like this one, don't let it be the judge of whether you will read another by this author... she's a very talented author, and many of her books are a great deal better than this one.

Although I did enjoy this story, the heroine was a little too dependent on the hero. I would have liked to see more strength in her, even though she did go through a lot in the story. Nevertheless the story was pretty good and I did enjoy it.
