Summary: One of Judith's best books
Review: I first read Once and Always several years ago. I have reread it many times. It is one of my very favorites because it is pure escapism. The two main characters, Jason and Victoria, are irresistable, and the story comes alive for the reader through Judith's words. If you like this book, may I also suggest Almost Heaven, and Something Wonderful. All of these are earlier works, and in my opinion, much, much better than her more recent books. There is something special about all of them, and they will touch your heart.

Summary: Enjoy this one!!!!
Review: I got this book by accident and was glad I did. It was abused and battered, the cover hanging on by a thread. Obviously well read, I picked it up figuring someone in the past must have loved this book for it to be in this condition. From the first chapter I found that I was captured into the story. So rarely today do we see such a complex structuring of the characters and their story. This is Jason and Victoria's story; there is no murderer to be found, no waif to be saved, no wrong to be righted (inless you count an interfering grandmother) just the indepth growth of a relationship. We all make mistakes in relationships, misjudge people, assume motives, and mistakenly hurt them. It is the relationship that can survive this, that thrives. What a poignant moral for a story. Although the copy of my book was printed in 1987, see if you can pick this story up, its worth the read!

Summary: Lovely!Vastly entertaining!
Review: After reading 'Double Standard', I found to my surprise that Judith McNaught could write historical romance so well. I thoroughly enjoyed it.The characters are realistic. They don't fall in love rightaway. As the story unfolds, you are drawn more and more into the emotions of the characters. This is my second McNaught book and I can't wait to read more.

Summary: Despite despair and injustice,the right person can heal all.
Review: The most amazing thing about this book is the vulnerability of the hero. We all want to be the one who tames the tiger and in this book, the heroine does. Jason, deprived and maltreated as a child, overcomes a terrible start in life to become a great businessman and one of the foremost leaders of 19th century London society. Deceived again by a woman who only wants his name and his money, tortured by his own illigitimacy, and in despair after the death of his first born son, Jason builds a wall around his heart that nothing can break down and a reputation in society that Casanova would admire. Into his life comes a girl, Victoria, who, to all intents and purposes he should resent and hate. To his immense surprise and not inconsiderable chagrin he finds she warms his heart and gradually, he begins to love her. The most wonderful scene in the whole wonderful book, takes place in his study when she gives him a present, a small black panther statuette. I defy any woman to resist the vulnerability of this gorgeous needful man. When the two are finally reconciled and his despair at having lost the only woman he ever trusted is assuaged, the denouement is nowhere near long enough for the aching heart and tearful eyes of this reader. Oh where are the Jasons of today?

Summary: Love at its best
Review: One of the best examples of Judith McNaught's writing. The plot has the required twists, before the final expected ending. Jason's plight makes one feel sick to the stomach realizing that Ms. McNaught is merely recounting things that were everyday life occurance in Regancy England. The final scene is overwhelming.
