Summary: I HAVE ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE THIS BOOK: "YAWN"
Review: This book was very boring. There wasn't anything about it that made it stand out from other books. JD usually writes good romances but i think that this was one of her worst. I didn't finish this book... I saw no point to it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The BEST Jude Deveraux book!
Review: This book, in my opinion, is the best Jude Deveraux book. The characters are memorable and romance between them are fabulous. It somewhat resembles another favorite book of mine, The Scarlet Pimpernel. Try to read them both

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must-read!
Review: This is just a hilarious, wonderful book. All of J.D.'s books are. You'll love Alex Montgomery.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gotta love this one
Review: This is one of my favorite romances. I love how Alex gets jealous of his alter ego. What a great predicament!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SO GOOD
Review: This was my first Jude Deveraux book and I read it years ago and 2 days ago I got bored and picked it up again. It's action packed humorous and very very romantic. With this book I found the love scenes to be very hot and steamy! but Alex Montgomery is one of the main characters that keep Jessica Taggert on her toes in utter confusion. There's never a dull moment and the end was absolutely hilarious I wish it had been a little bit longer, but nevertheless it's a good read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AAAAAh Jude!
Review: This was the first book I ever read of Jude Deveraux's. I was 16 and I fell in love with it. I have reread it about 4 times since then. The banter between the two lead characters is the best part of the book. She thinks he is just a foppish dandy, little does she know.....well that would spoil it for all of you. I recommend this book, its a keeper. Jude, hurry up and write something....I'm waiting!!!!!!

Summary: frustrating heroine ruins this one
Review: When I know I'm going to read about a "proud-tempered beauty," I'm always leery. I should have been more so with this one. Jess Taggert is such a frustrating character. One minute she loves the Raider and ridicules her husband to his face then she turns around and snap at the Raider for saying something against Alex. Plus she always, always acted before she thought. Even by the end of the book, even when every time she did something, she put herself, Alex, her siblings or the townspeople in

danger, sometimes of their lives. If I had been Alex, I'd have dumped the *&^$% ages ago and let the British hang her.

But then Alex has his moments. As himself, I like him and felt for him when termagant Jess taunted and scorned him yet again. As the Raider, he doesn't treat Jess much better than she treats him. Especially see the scene when he takes her virginity. I started out liking his escapades since he doesn't have the masked avenger part down too well. But then it seems like everything he does, causes more trouble and endangers even
more people. After a while, I began to wonder if the town would survive too much more of his "help."

I like Jess's sister Eleanor much better though I would have liked to have seen more of her romance with Nick (the Russian prince). Jess's brother Nathaniel is an interesting character and shows much more maturity and wisdom then Jess ever will in her whole life. The portrayal of the British is so unbalanced and I got really tired of them foaming at the mouth and being nothing but redcoated Evil. By the end of the book, I was skimming madly just to finish.
