Summary: Witty, Sexy, Fun!
Review: A CRACKING GOOD READ! I really enjoyed this book! I can't top Desmond Chan's review - it says it all. All I can say is that when I start talking back (out loud!)to the characters and giggling and laughing out loud, and chewing on my finger and curling my toes, that sounds like a great book to me!The sexual chemistry between Sebastian and Juliet was incredible! The dialogue between them is witty, sensual and intelligent. Some of the seduction scenes are very inventive - particularly when Sebastian sets out to make her "heart race and her bones melt" (the first of two scenes involving chess), not to mention when Sebastian teaches Juliet to shoot. But don't get me wrong, there is a story here and a relationship here, not just a series of seduction scenes. Obviously, these two characters have a lot to resolve and it was all resolved satisfactorily in my view. I was a bit wary about the abduction thing, worried that it would be cliched, but that really is background for the action and is not overdone. The real story is about Sebastion finally being honest with Juliet and himself about what he has done and what he really wants. And Juliet is relentless in making him face what he's done and demanding he deal honorably with the consequences of his actions. This is one enjoyable book. It's the first I've read by this author and I wonder if her others are this good.

Summary: Happy to have found a new "favorite" author!
Review: After the Abduction takes off where A Notorious Love ended. After two London Seasons -- and so many boring society suitors -- lovely Juliet Laverick still longs for the only man to make her heart race, namely, Morgan Pryce, the dashing rogue who kidnapped her two years ago. With the help of her brother-in-law Griff and sister Rosalind, together they track Morgan to the estate of Charnwood, to find Sebastian, Lord Templemore and Morgan's identical twin brother. It is here that Sebastian delivers the devastating news, that his brother Morgan was feared dead. Naturally, Juliet does not believe him as she instinctively knows that Sebastian is her kidnapper, no matter what he calls himself, and will use any means to trick him into admitting that he was her kidnapper. Confessing to her abduction would bring disaster and scandal upon them both and might prove fatal for his brother who he was trying to save. Feeling remorse and longing for Juliet, Sebastian cannot trust her to open his heart and tell his secret for fear of compromising his attempts at saving his brother from the hangman. Sebastian wants nothing more than to continue with the one kiss he stole from Juliet the night he left her that has haunted him for the last two years - and Juliet, now two years wiser will use her feminine wiles to gain his confession. The sexual chemistry between Sebastian and Juliet is incredible and the dialog between them is quite witty. The seduction scenes are so hot that you will find yourself squirming with delight. I loved when Sebastian set out to make her "heart race and her bones melt" which was innocent enough -but when he set her on a pedestal - well - you will just have to read that one yourself! WOW! The story is fast paced and will keep you turning the pages just in anticipation!

Review: An entertaining read from beginning to end--even if the bounds of credibility are occasionally stretched a bit. Who cares? It made by flight seem short (and I'm not a happy flyer). I'm now in the process of finding all her previous books.

Summary: Jeffries does it again!
Review: At last fans of Sabrina's series get to sink their teeth into Juliet's story, and it's the best thus far. The youngest of the Shakespearean-named siblings grows teeth and claws and goes gunning for Sebastian Templemore, who masqueraded as his twin brother Morgan and kidnapped her. Sebastian had (what he thought were) good reasons for his actions, but getting him to reveal them, or even that it was him at all, makes for great banter and sexual tension between this pair. If this series has a fault, it's its addictiveness: beware. You'll want to read them all!

Summary: I was wary after reading negative reviews...
Review: but found them to be without foundation. While this book is not quite as good as the other two it he series, especially the first, (which do need to be read before this one) I nevertheless enjoyed it a great deal. Sebastian is so torn, trying so hard to do the right thing and always missing it by a mile; he never really realizes the truth of what he's made of his life until the very end. Juliet is not really immature, not as she was in the previous book. She has grown up a great deal, but she is still fairly innocent even as she learns to be crafty and determined. Indeed her family thinks her immature and naive, and it is that belief that, to a large extent, set in motion the events that led to this book. But Sebastian is in dire need of her outlook on life and her personality, just as she needs his steadying influence. Sometimes you knock them each upside the head, but in the end it all works out as it should. The book isn't perfect and isn't Jeffries' best, but it is a pleasant read and is a fitting ending to the Laverick sisters' trilogy. 3 and 1/2 stars Hmmm...has she written a book on brother Morgan?

Summary: Enormously Disappointing - almost unreadable.
Review: Having always enjoyed this author's work I was delighted to find this book and took it with me on vacation. Enormously disappointed in it. The plot is a lazy bit of contrivance "I know, I'll ask him to give me lessons in how to spot a scoundrel!" and more importantly, the heroine and hero are vague sketches, not fully drawn characters with which one can find sympathy. Jeffries phoned this one in and I am sorry I wasted my money on it. A measure of how bad it is: I rarely, rarely cannot finish a book once I've begun one. This one I left purposely left behind in a bed and breakfast. Garbage.

Summary: YOU MUST READ FIRST 2 IN SERIES TO ENJOY THIS BOOK
Review: I bought this book before reading the 1st two in the series and within the first chapter and a half, I felt like I was missing something. Having read the Lord series by Jeffries, I quickly realized that she has a habit of intertwining her characters and stories so much that the books are confusing if trying to read them out of sequence. So I put the book aside and picked up A Dangerous Love and a Notorious love, and it was well worth it. Both of those books are great and this is no exception. This is a great addition to the series if you read it in order. It is so nice to revisit characters, Jeffries just makes it important to read her books in order. Other authers such as Julia Quinn and Kat Martin who use characters from different books don't put as much emphasis on the plots from the other stories, Jeffries does, but it is well worth it if you read them in order and if you don't, you feel as though you are missing something important. GREAT BOOK though if read in order.

Summary: A Delight to Read!
Review: I get a huge kick out of Sabrina's novels! They're always clever with interesting characters and situations, a lot of humor, sparkling dialogue, sultry sex (some of the best stuff out there), and a million unexpected plot twists before you get to the ending. This one had an additional plus: I'd forgotten how pleased SJ had been to announce that she'd tied the end of her "Love" trilogy into the first book of her "Lord" trilogy, and there it was. Speaking of which, a mammoth GOLD STAR for whichever editor finally figured out that all those "Lords" and "Loves" titles were too doggone confusing! I could not put "After the Abduction" down. (Pass the Visine, please!) It's a wiggling-your-toes, giggling-at-each-new-catastrophe kind of story with a wonderful subplot as well. This is one of those "keeper" books you hear about now and then. Buy it.

Summary: Disappointed...
Review: I have read this author before and enjoyed her books. This one was (sadly) disappointing especially in light of the fact that I was so looking forward to it. I just didn't *believe* any of it. The plot was contrived and the characters were hollow. Don't *tell* me about the characters and their feelings. *Show* me what the characters are like by their actions. This one just didn't ring true for me. I rarely don't finish a book but sadly put this one down. I don't like feeling that I'm being talked down to by romance authors. I'm always looking for authors who actually give me some credit. I can figure out what's going on in a story by following the action. I don't need it spelled out to me so simplistically. Read and enjoy her other books.
