Summary: one you can't put down
Review: after hearing the buzz surrounding this book i decided to give it a try and was definitely rewarded. i am a huge fan of kat martin's work and have read a fair number but, like anything else, some of her works can start to sound repetetive. "innocence undone" is one of the better regency romances i have ever read.Jessic Fox was a girl who saw a live of poverty stretching out before her and swore that she would be a lady. after seeking help from the aging marquess who agrees to help her. skip ahead a few years when mathew, the marquess' son, comes home from battling the french as a captin in the english navy. he remembers the rag clad girl who he knew as a young boy and refuses to believe the jessica fox that he sees now is any different. what he can't deny though is the incredible pull he feels towards her, though he vows nothing will come of it, though the marqess wants nothing more than for these two people he loves most to marry. this book has so many scenes that were not only original but had me smiling and laughing. the wedding scene was classic and something that was so different from what most other authors would have handled it that i had to take my hat off to mrs. martin. as always this kat martin book is duly steamy and even has a side story of gwen, jessica's friend, meeting up with her man, adam harcout. their story is just as enthralling as matt and jessi's. this book was one of those you want to read on a rainy day when you have plenty of time because you don't want to put it down. it's fun and just a good read. check it out.

Summary: TRUELY A KEEPER!
Review: I have only read a few Kat Martin novels and this is one of them. I found that she is a gifted novelist that captivated my attention. I was stuck on one author and wouldn't buy any others but one day I saw this book and decided to buy it. That was the best decision I made. I could not put this book down. The story line was well thought out and the charactures were marvelous. I would definately suggest reading more of Kat Martins work. Thanks for challenging my imagination.

Summary: Enjoyable, but I skipped over the last few chapters
Review: I read a lot of Kat Martins books and this is truly captivating like all her others. It held my attention, couldn't put it down, laid by the pool and read until done. Very interesting read. It goes to show you how some men are just narrow minded.

Summary: Not What I Was Looking For
Review: In a nutshell, this whole story is based on a series of huge misunderstandings thrown together. Jessie Fox becomes the ward of the Marquess of Belmore. The Marquess's son, Matthew, believes the girl is a gold digging tramp and is determined to expose her. Well he marries her instead, and treats her to countless unfound suspicions, lays the blame on her for several different things gone wrong, and treats her downright cruel sometimes. The reason? Her mother was a prostitute, so she has to have inherited her mother's wickedness. The attraction he felt for her is her fault because she is putting on a false character front to snag him thus inheriting his land and title with him. After all, her mother was a prostitute and it stands to reason that she has to be just like her. There's nothing more I hate than reading about a close minded hero who will jump to conclusions based on some convuluted logic like that. He does not realize what a jerk he has been until the last sixty pages of the story. At that point, I was not interested in how sorry he was. I was just glad I was nearing the end of the story.

Summary: Romance Novel Done Right!!
Review: Innocence Undone was everything I could have wanted in a romance and more. The story was thoroughly developed, the passion between the hero and heroine sizzled, and there was enough adventure, conflict and subplots to keep me enthralled in the story. I hated to see this book end. Matthew is a strong hero who is afraid to love because of his not being shown open affection as a child. This struggle is what makes him the deep, brooding romantic hero. His developing attraction to Jessica, and ultimately his journey into love, is fueled by Matthew's mistrust of and fear to love. Jessica is a strong heroine. She begins life without much hope and a prayer. She is the daughter of a doxy, she is abused by her brother and she resorts to all sorts of undesirable behavior. Underneath all that, Jessica is a loving, caring person who wants to rise above her pitiful lot in life. Jessica eventually becomes this headstrong, intelligent, and nurturing young woman. And although Matthew doesn't think he and Jessica "suit", he finds himself on a journey that causes him to break down all the walls he has erected around his heart just to keep up with his father's ward. The conflict between these two characters is classic!! The passion between them is timeless!! If you don't read this book for anything else, read it just to find out what Matthew does when he thinks Jessica is going to marry someone else!! You will fall in love with all the characters. And, you get to see two other romances develop along with Matthew and Jessica. The story of Gwen and Adam, Lord St. Cere, is heartwarming and makes me believe in knights in shining armor. Even "Papa Reggie" finds love in this twilight years with Lady Bainbridge. Trust me when I tell you that this is a romance for all ages. If you enjoy this book half as much as I did, you will have found an unforgettable romance that you will want to read over and over again.

Review: It was a good book, but a little too much misery for the characters and I found I was skipping over the last half to get to the ending. Still, it was okay.

Summary: Not my cup of tea
Review: My biggest problem with this book was that I didn't like the two main characters, Jessica and Matthew. Matt was pretty much an arrogant jerk throughout the book and Jessica's integity was lacking. I still don't understand why Jessica liked Matt anyway.I also tend to hate any book that has the "hero" having sex with other women, especially after he has met the "heroine". And I do not care to read about anyone else having sex besides the two main characters. In this book there are many such sex scenes written in great detail (yuck). The only redeeming part of this book was the romance between Adam and Gwen. I really wish the whole book had been about them!
