Summary: Could be better
Review: After reading her first book MY DARLING CAROLINE, I find this book disappointing. It has none of the spontaniety or flow as in the other book. I found myself impatiently scanning and skipping pages to get to the end.

Summary: Very exciting! A love every girl wishes she could find!
Review: Ashworth brings fantasy and reality together in this enchanting story. A lonely man of danger and excitment and a well brought up lady find a love that is thiers in this adventure. Ashworth composes this fairy tale beautifully!

Summary: WOW!
Review: I absolutely loved reading this book. OK, so it was not 100% in compliance with the strictest historical documentation. So what, it was close enough, and the superb writing and outstanding characterizations of both protagonists was pure pleasure to read. Great entertainment. I seldom have enjoyed a book more, and I'm fairly picky. Ms. Ashworth could give other authors lessons in how to write a steamy, sensual, yet loving and tasteful love scene. I believe she may be without equal in this area. I highly recommend this book. Enjoy.

Summary: She must hide her heart from a man who cannot be faithful.
Review: Natalie knows from her own family's experience of the devastation that can be caused by an unfaithful spouse, so she is determined not to fall for Jonathan's good looks and charming manner. However, she needs him to introduce her to a notorious spy-thief that he is acquainted with, so she persuades him to allow her to accompany him on a forthcoming trip to France.Jonathan knows she is not telling him everything about her motives, but it suits him to have her around, especially since he has been seriously considering the idea of marrying and settling down...and the two of them HAD shared a rather devastating romantic interlude in a garden five years ago. It piques him that she tries to hold herself aloof from him, although she responds fervishly to his passionate kisses. The surprising truth is that he wants more than passion from her...he yearns for her heart more than anything else. What I enjoyed most about this book is the wonderful description of the hero's love as he waits for Natalie to confess she loves him. You can feel the hurt he feels when she states that she could never marry him. But through it all, his love never waivers, his patience never fails, his faithfulness endures to the end. Natalie is a very lucky woman! The ease with which the gently-born Natalie managed to escape the protection of her family was a little hard to believe for the period, but this book was so memorable that I forgive the author for her little inaccuracy. Truth to tell, I'd give this book TEN STARS if I could!

Summary: A very romantic story!
Review: Natalie wishes to meet the Black Knight ( a Robin-Hood type thief), whom she claims to be in love with. Natalie goes to Jonathan, a man she shared intimate moments with, for help. The results are, that she and Jonathan, share an adventure that truly entertains the reader. Who is the Black Knight? Is love the real motivation for Natalie's wishing to meet him? And, what part will Jonathan play in Natalie's life? These are a few of the questions you ask yourself, as you start to read this book. And, while you may know the answers; the way Ms. Ashworth defines the story, makes it a truly worthwhile read. There are some flaws in Ms. Ashworth's writing. And, they probably will jump out at you. The unlikely behavior of the heroine, for this particular time period is hard to ignore. However, I chose to read the book as I would any other implausible historical. And many of them are; even those from very seasoned writers. The geographical mistakes, are a little harder to overlook, and could have been prevented. I would have loved giving this book the top rating. It truly is one of the most romantic books I've ever read. The love scenes are beautiful. The leads truly walk off the page!
