Summary: Wonderful story, real page-turner.
Review: What a delightful read this book was, with charming, likable characters who pulled you into story. A few loose ends left to the stories beginning, but all in all, a delightful story.

Summary: Definitely a charmer
Review: What a nice change- beginning in England and ending in America. I liked it. And I really enjoyed this book. I liked ballroom scene. Lucas and Taylor are to meet there. Lucas (the stranger everyone is talking about) is visiting with friends and aquaintances and then Taylor makes her entrance. She is wrapped-up with her friends talking to her when her ex-fiancee, William (come to find out is half-brother to Lucas) starts making his way to her from one side of the room while Lucas is making his way to her from the other side. Both get to her at the same time. FIREWORKS! She can't stand the site of William (who eloped with Taylor's cousin weeks before the wedding) and hasn't had a chance to really get a look at Lucas (tall, dark, handsome). William tries to get Taylors attention while she tries ignoring him while Lucas's looks have "swept Taylor off her feet". Without introduction Taylor looks at Lucas and ask if isn't it time to leave- he takes her hand while they both start to approach the stairs to exit. Everyone is yelling whats going on, how do they know each other, where are they going, etc. when Taylor turns around and tells them "He's my husband!" Can't you just picture the confusion and excitement. And this was at the beginning of the story! It get's better!Both Lucas and Taylor were using each other for their on "agendas" but the attraction for each other did them in. I loved Lucas' frustration with his physical attraction to Taylor and Taylor's innocence of it. Towards the end it was frustrating that Taylor was not recognizing Lucas' love for her.
And I do agree with another reviewer about Taylor constantly calling Lucas "Mr. Ross", her saying "my daughter" and "my son" when she had just taken on the role of mother with the kids, and the boy changing his name between Daniel and David. But is wasn't enough for me to get aggrevated with the book. And I did enjoy a break from the English rogue or knights in shining armor. A Montana mountain man was kind of refreshing!

Summary: Nose Dive
Review: While this book started off fast paced, and exciting it took a big nose dive about three fourths of the way to the end. Lucas and Taylor are very memoriable characters but the ending was so anticlimatic. On the back cover it says that lucas marries Taylor to help get his brother home but that was never really fleshed out in the book. But who cares right? we want to know about them falling in love. Sure we do. But we also want the story to flow and adhere to the way the characters are presented to us. The book gave me no real reason for a self proclaimed eternal bachleor to give up his single life to help some dame that was jilted at the alter. I got to the end of the book and was like, "are you kidding me? this cant be the end."

Summary: Wonderful, I absolutly loved it
Review: Yes, I am a girl of only 13. I accidentally found the book in my mother's dresser. But I started reading it and fell in love!! I loved the story line and the romance between Taylor and Lucas. It is by far the best book that I have read in a long time. I am hooked on Julie Garwood now. I love the fact that her storys are historical. And for all of you out there who are looking for a good romance, I would suggest this. I am usually boered with books, and this one held my attention untill the very last word. I have read it many times since.
