this was great. a bit boring in places but the story is heart wrenching. Was so excited to get to read this relationship develop! She rarely fails, another great read!
OK I said the last book was a fantasy, but this one is even more so. So, if we accept that premise, I can enjoy it. I like reading the intertwining stories of each of these books, but this hero was wayyyy to perfect. Rich, beautiful, a daredevil, brilliant, and carrying a torch for a girl he knew...
New York Times bestselling author Jude Deveraux uncovers the passions and scandals that take a small town by storm when two cousins switch lives. Ariel and Sara never imagined their high-spirited attempt to step into each other's shoes would cause such upheaval. The lifelong pen pals, who look e...
Oh, what wicked smelly webs we weave....For all the complainers out there who hate it when historical romances, medievals in particular, gloss over the ripe aromas and body hygiene of the time, this is the book for you!I admit that I've griped on numerous occasions when a heroine's legs and armpi...
I had a very rose-tinted opinion of this novel because it was one of the first 'Adult' novels that I read as I emerged from the warm bosom of 'Young Adult' books many moons ago. To me, this novel was complex and adventurous and full of adult themes that my previous back-catalogue would not have e...
I thoroughly enjoyed this one! I find Jude Deveraux to be a bit hit and miss, but when she hits, the nails it. I'm not sure what drew me to Reagan, the heroine. At the beginning of the book she was helpless and naive. Forced out of her uncle's house after learning that the man she loved only want...

4.5 STARSWhat a remarkably beautiful story! I loved this, even despite the somewhat controversial ending, I really loved this. When poor, down on her luck, Dougless Montgomery gets jilted by her boyfriend and left to fend for herself in rural England, at a church no less, she accidentally summons...
About now, I thought I am already aware of the cliches in a paperback romance novel. A lady would meet a man -sometimes twice her age - if not troublesome or arrogant or prideful, the man is either so sweet and so kind. Of course all the heroes should be good looking. Then goes the heroine. Of co...
Updated 3/1/2013 - While doing a re-read with my local book club I was anxious to see if this would stand the test of time. I once again devoured the book and I’m glad to find it's still one of my all time favorites.Ranulf, The Black Lyon is a fierce, alpha warrior. He’s well known for his vici...
Genre: CRSensuality: PGI first read this over 20 yrs ago and have been putting off this re-read for a very, very long time. I would have put this off forever but I recently read a new NA that was obviously a nod to Jude and the trope that she popularized, if not invented, in this bk. The "if you ...
Esta é a minha estreia com a autora Jude Deveraux, apesar de ter mais dois livros dela na estante para serem lidos. Estava mesmo a apetecer-me ler um romance com uma nota leve de mistério e pela sinopse, este livro parecia ser perfeito para o meu actual estado de espírito. Não é segredo nenhum qu...
Olivia asked Casey. “Anything interesting happen?” They were wearing pretty Regency-era dresses and sitting on chairs that had been set up outside the gazebo. Onstage, Lori was flitting around Gizzy and teasing about how wonderful the soldiers were. She seemed very young but at the same time quit...
The old house was cute and homey. There had been fresh muffins on the counter when Eli checked them in. The room had two big beds covered in spreads with blue and white flowers on them. Homemade quilts were at the foot of each bed. Eli stepped past her to set their bags on...
It wasn’t yet full light and no one was about; she liked the quiet. She wondered if Colin would remember their appointment, but he opened the door to her. He was wearing a black tank top that showed his muscles and he looked very good. She felt such a spark of electricity shoot through her that s...
Above all, she couldn’t give him time to look in her eyes and see that she was hiding something from him. In these last days she’d come to remember the good and bad of being with someone who knew her so well. With her past boyfriends, all she’d had to do was look good and ...
He spoke of Sara with love in his voice, and Mike often felt the man watching him.It went against Mike’s grain to throw any sports match, but he didn’t want to make Sara’s father look bad. At the first tee, Mike didn’t make his best effort and the ball fell far short of the hole.Dr. Henry Shaw lo...
He wanted to see what was there without blundering into something. When he saw the ruins, but no horse and no girl, he nearly panicked. It took time to calm his heart, which seemed to have leaped into his throat. She had taken the horse and left. Or no! Maybe she’d been found and abducted. Would ...
Jessica treated the rambling old house as she would have a ship, and the overfed, underworked bondsmen and women as her crew. Ceilings and floors were washed, as well as everything in between. She set Nicholas to hauling barrels out of the cellar so she could take inventory of supplies as well as...
and already Cassie had thought of a thousand ways to murder the obnoxious Leo Norton. She couldn’t believe he was friends with Jeff. In his fifties, with a big belly, and a loud voice, all he did was leer—and his leering was directed solely at Cassie. “What’s a little honey like you doin’ with th...
Jamie called. “Yes,” she answered and picked up the box. She sniffed a bit and put on a smile. She wasn’t going to let Jamie see how much he’d upset her. As she rounded the corner, Jamie was coming toward her on his crutches. But before he could say anything, there was a knock on the door. “Fun’s...
“Tynan?” she asked in disbelief. “Is that you?” “Where’s Chris?” he asked at once. Pilar sat up straighter. “I don’t know. She’s been gone for hours and I heard the dogs and men yelling but I didn’t hear anything from her. Ty, I’m worried about her.” Tynan’s face showed what he thought of Chris l...
Their expressions did not reflect what she was feeling inside.“Bet you didn’t expect us, huh, Jackie?”“No,” she said as politely as she could, but her heart had fallen to her feet. Only yesterday she’d had to deal with Terri, and in the hours that had passed since then, she hadn’t stepped outside...
Because of “her” he hadn’t had much sleep in the last few days and now, because of “her” he wasn’t getting any more. Every time he dozed off, the well-trained horses stopped moving. Twice, Angus woke with a jolt and saw that the beautiful horses were munching on the grass at the side of the road....
Nellie said, not meaning it. At the moment she felt as though she never wanted to go home again.“You would look pretty in that,” Jace said, looking in the window of the store next door, Chandler’s largest, most expensive department store, The Famous.Nellie never gave much thought to her clothes. ...
This is where I came in, she thought, remembering being in the back of Robert’s rental car and trying to get comfortable around Gloria’s luggage. But now, sprawled beside her, his long legs stretched out, was Nicholas. He was absorbed in a battery-powered video game that they’d purchased this mor...
Joce asked. “My grandfather manufactured helmets and he traveled to Europe several times. Maybe they met then.” “Uncle Alex didn’t go to the war. He had some disability that kept him out of it, so he stayed in the U.S. and moved money around.” “He was a banker?” Joce said, but Luke didn’t answer ...
Everything horrible that had happened in the last weeks was his fault. Like Axia, he had no doubt that Perkin Maidenhall was now on his way to the Teversham estate with an army of men. And now, because of Tode, Axia’s bit of freedom was to be over. A vision of Axia chained inside one of the Maide...
Are you here?”The voice was familiar and comforting and seemed to come from far away. She snuggled against Jared. Light was filtering into the room so it was day, but she had no intention of getting up. With the way she felt, she might stay in bed forever.She felt him kiss the top of her head and...
“You should feel good,” he said. “If it had been up to me I would have left before Osmond showed up.” They were in Kim’s house and Reede’s phone hadn’t stopped buzzing as Mike kept him informed of what was going on. “He was an actuary?” Sophie asked as she sipped her second glass. “Yes, which mea...
Jecca said.Tris reacted instantly. “But it’s not the end of the summer. You still have weeks. Months. Reede wants me to go back to work, but I’ll postpone it. I’ll go to New York with you and we’ll—” He broke off because Jecca was staring at him.“You mean back to Edilean,” he mumbled.Roan was chu...
