Summary: I loved it!
Review: I have quickly become a Connie Mason fan. This was a great romance filled with lots of passion. For the first half of the book I found Lily quite annoying. She loved Matt's love making but then would accuse him of using her. The lack of trust between the two of them caused them a lot of problems. I was anxious for Matt to finally admit that he truly loved Lily. I read this book in a day. I didn't want to put it down. Great read, Ms. Mason!

Summary: I hate you, hate you, love you, hate you, hate you, love you
Review: I loved this story and couldn't take myself from it from the very start. It's the kind of story, Ms. Mason is known for. Passionate and real characters with the backdrop of the American Revolution behind their story of learning to trust and love one another.Matt is the American cousin of English nobility. He is invited to the coming-out ball of young and vivacious Lily Montage, given to by her father who wants to make peace with his bride-to-be by getting his daughter married and out of the house. Matt had made it no secret that he was only marrying Lily for her inheritance so that he can arm his ships to go back to war with England. Through a tale of mistrust and deception (on the part of Matt's former mistress) and being shipwrecked on a deserted island, Matt and Lily learn to love with their bodies before they find the love in their hearts that has always been there from the start. A wonderful, fast paced read, don't miss this book!

Summary: Very Good, Emotional
Review: Matt married Lily for money and never denied it. Lily being shunned by her Father when he wanted to marry a woman who didn't want her around. I got so mad at both of them neither would admit they loved the other until they both thought that they has lost the other. As always you feel as though you are right there living the story with the characters. Very good Story.

Summary: I hate you, hate you, love you, hate you, hate you, love you
Review: This story was good, but a bit long and repetitive. 3/4 of the book is spent with the leading lady (Lily) telling the leading man (Matt) she hates him and doesn't want him. She has good reason. He sets out to get her hand in marriage because he wants her dowry. She doesn't want to get married, so he almost rapes her to put her in a position where she'll have no choice but to marry him. He stops at the last minute, but they are seen by Lily's step- mother. Lily's father insists that they marry. Matt gets his money. Over the next months, they fight non- stop. Lily believes Matt is still seeing his mistress. Matt believes Lily is falling for his lawyer. Still, they have a passionate sex life. The love scenes are great, although it gets old seeing each of them begin with Lily protesting and saying "Stop. I don't want you." Matt manages to change her mind each time, followed by Lily swearing that it will never happen again. The couple end up stranded alone on a desert island. They are there for a couple of months. They finally open up to one another and fall deeply in love. Finally, a break in the complaining and fighting. This part of the story is encouraging. As soon as they are back in civilization, all of the old themes repeat themselves... they are suspicious of one another, Lily "doesn't want" Matt, etc... They have a huge fight as Matt goes off to fight in the war between American and England. In the end, all is solved and love prevails. I love Connie Mason, but I just didn't enjoy this story as much as others. I believe Connie's medeival romances are her best.
