Rating:  Summary: Very emotional and passionate. Review: This was the first book by Nicole Jordan that I read, and I loved it so much that since then I have read all of the books in this series. They are all great, she is definitively one of my favorite authors. Since the very beginning the book sizzles with passion. The fist time they made love was so beautiful and so charged with emotions (he was sentenced to die the next morning) that it held me enthralled. The next morning when Aurora tries to save him and is told that the sentence is being carried out and Nick is already dead, I actually cried! Even though I knew he must had somehow scaped or there wouldn't be a story to tell, the thought of him dying was enough to make me weep. Nick is an incredible character. He is sensual, corageous, passionate, confident and so masculine. There was not a moment in this book when I found fault with the way he acts (unlike other heroes that at the beginnig are real jerks and it is not until later that they reform). He is not the kind of man that tries to deny his need for the woman he loves, he knows what he wants and he is determined to get it, even if he has to risk his life. His relentless pursuit of Aurora made me fall in love with him, and the intense chemistry beween them keeps the love scenes sizzling hot. Every time they meet is intense, passionate, carnal and erotic and I would be hard pressed to choose one favorite scene from this book. There are so many! An incredible book. I have read it twice and from time to time, I like to re-read my favorite scenes. An all time favorite.(Make sure you also read the other books in this series "The Seduction", "Desire", "Ecstacy" and "The Prince of Pleasure", they are all equally good)
Rating:  Summary: No spark. Fell flat. Review: Where was the plot? What has happened to Nicole Jordan's flare, depth, emotion and unforgettable characters? Where's the excitement in that? The hero was way too soft! Throughout the whole book he did nothing but try to please the heroine. UGH! Leaves the hero unmanly if you ask me, more of a wimp. No conflict at all! The love scenes lacked PASSION only because there was no connection between the hero and heroine. Just a bunch of sex that didn't "make it" due to the lack of story and great characters.
Rating:  Summary: Stunning romance! Review: Wow, what a great romance. I just loved this book! Aurora and Nicolas were so wonderful, I didn't want it to end. My only consolation is that I get to read the next book in the series.
