I loved it looking forward to reading more books from this wonderful author.
A real page turner
I enjoyed the adventure these two characters experienced in the search for their happily ever after.
I loved this book!
Believable relationships
Vella’s regency novels are such fun.
This had a great storyline and good character development. Unfortunately, I do not enjoy the explicit description of sex. I skipped over that part but don’t like having to do that. The teaser for the next book in the series was great and I am curious about the plot but not sure I will read the next book because of the descriptive sex. I am frustrated with authors that do this when the book has such a great plot. It’s not necessary to describe explicitly what is happening in bed.
The story started out strong but The plot didn’t make sense. The heroine acted like a ninny. Could not finish it.
I enjoyed this book so much that I read it twice.
I like this story line but I must say many of this type of romance have bedroom scenes which are not realistic. Fortunately the women have been strong and not whinners but lets get real.
Was a great plot. Very different from the rest. Loved all of the history.
I really enjoy her books… Very easy to read, and the characters are interesting that I makes me not want to put the book down, and read the entire book at one sitting.
Story wasn’t horrible. But the dialogue was atrocious. They referred to each other as “Duke” and “Duchess.” “Duke” would never have been used as a name or form of address. The heroine would have addressed the hero by his title, his last name, or as ‘my lord.” By the end of the book, I hated every sentence they spoke to each other. It was grating.
I liked the premise and the characters but it seemed as if everything was rushed. I wanted a build up of the relationship between the hero and heroine. The antagonists were really heinous.
Great feel good story
Wendy Vella creates wonderful characters that you want to spend time with and root for throughout the book. There is a great deal of tension throughout the books and unexpected twists that make her books real page turners. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves strong leading women and passionate wonderful male leads.
As with all of this authors work, it was a page Turner. I have read this work and her other books/series multiple times. I strongly recommend this book as well as her others.
I loved this enchanting love story. I greatly enjoyed the story line. This was my first book with this author and it will not be my last!
Beautifully written love story. A must read!
