Summary: I Had To Force Myself To Finish
Review: Normally, Deveraux's novels are so interesting and captivating that I read two a day. It took me almost a MONTH to sludge through this one, and I almost threw the book away in disgust. It begins interestingly enough, then moves on to idle chit-chat about Trevalyn's travels. When they finally do hit the sheets, it's as unromantic as Jude Deveraux's scenes get. If anything, their encounters were mechanical. The epilogue also left the reader hanging, if they bothered to read to the end.

Summary: Enchanting. I could not put it down.
Review: Jude Deveraux s masterpiece. With The Duchess Deveraux shows her readers what romance is all about. A great heroine, full of energy and strength. A hero who you wish would come to life and sweep you off your feet. I stayed awake all night just to wish the book had never ended.

Summary: A masterpiece, not her best but a very close second.
Review: Jude could not have have written a book that had more perfect timing then that of The Duchess. Everything that was needed to be said was said at the right time. Everything that was done was done at the right time. However, she could have described the characters a bit more. Also, she could have wrote more on what Trevelyn was thinking. Every reader knew what he felt, its just that I had a hard time figuring out what he was thinking.

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful, and based on a real historical character
Review: If you enjoy this book, be sure to watch the movie "Mountains of the Moon". It is about the real man that Trevelyan is based on, Victorian explorer Captain Sir Richard Francis Burton. They even have the same scars!

Summary: I loved this book.
Review: Trevelyan was/is one of the most arrogant men there ever was but I still loved him. I think deep in all of our romantic hearts we dream of having a man like him love us as he loved Claire and to believe we have that something about us that can conquer someone as hard as him. His declaration of love to the "Pearl" was one of the most romantic and deeply passionate declarations I've ever read in any book. That in itself made me want to love him. Noone is perfect but love can sometimes conquer all and I think it did for Claire and Trevelyan.
