Summary: A worth while to read book.
Review: This book is really full of romance!! All the feelings, the words.... It kept me up almost the whole night, and the early hours of the dawn. The characters are memorable, courageous and with deep profound feelings. When they feel, I feel with them too. They are great and would be even greater,had there been more occasions to portray the special qualities that the authors had created in them. I would say this book's really a temtp for those who love romance.

Summary: Not my cup of tea
Review: This book was so depressing it was terrible, not sexy at all. 1-Matthew is a self-righteous prig who calls her the daughter of a whore thoughout, to her face as well as behind her back2-Jessica is so determined to become a lady that all the spark we see in her at the start of the novel dies 3-Jessica is already in love with him at outset of book so there is no development and joy of falling in love 4-He spends so much time avoiding her there is no chance for him to get to know her as other than a woman he wants in his bed but not to be married to; it is an arranged marriage. 5-He says this about her through out the whole book, which is very unflattering-good to swive but not to wive. 6-He has sex with his former mistress in flagrant and tasteless detail; it does not make any difference he keeps hoping it is Jessica as he does all sorts of depraved things to the woman all night. 7-Secondary couple St Cere and Gwen are FAR more exciting and take over the latter part of the book completely. 8-St Cere having sex with a mistress who reminds him of Gwen is also very off putting, why repeat what is already so gross. 9-the obsession with spanking ahd physical brutality to women throughout the book is gruesome 10-yet another wedding when Matthew's old decrepit father gets married 11-Matthew's new rape of his wife when he thinks she is being unfaithful-does this not once but twice. 12-Matthew always wanting his supposedly pure fiancee and finding Jessie lacking-he is continuously mentally unfaithful to her throughout the book 13-Said fiancee exposing all of her secrets-instead of Matthew proving he loves her no matter what, he HIDES in America for 2 years while his father whitewashes the scandal and bribes everyone or blackmails them into saying she was mistaken!! 14-His revolting behavior when they get married. she is no better. He gives her little choice, just physically overwhelms her, and then she lies to him to keep him. 15-His violence when he nearly kills her brother and then allows him to be press ganged into the navy in the hope that he will be killed so his wife and niece never have to wrry about the scandalous truth of her brith being brought to light-when of course it is anyway. The only saving grace of this book is Gwen and St Cere. They alone get two stars. Jessie and Matthew can simply bore each other to death, and they would deserve each other for both being such ninnies. As for the author, this book is completely cliche ridden and so dull you can tell even she was bored with it at the end, since her heroine and hero go nowhere but down.

Summary: Recommend
Review: This is a cinderella story. A father grieving over the loss of a son adopts a street urchin. He pays for education and transformation into a lady. Jessie has always loved Matt and now that she is a lady she wants to be his wife. Matt's father also wants Matt and Jessie to marry. Matt wants Jessie very much, but he cannot seem to get past the fact that is the daughter of prositute. You go through most of the book before Matt gets drunk enough to kidnap Jessie on her wedding day. They marry to save Jessie's reputation. Jessie feels guilty because she leads Matt to believe that more happen the night of the kidnapping that what really did. Matt is guilty because of what he did. A brush with death convinces Matt that he loves Jessie and most tell her. My one gripe with the story is that when Jessie's past comes out, she doesn't stay and fight she runs away. Since she jas fought so hard to gain what she has, this seemed out of character.

Summary: Captivating!
Review: This is the first book I have read by Kat Martin and I must say I was captivated by it. I really felt for the characters in the novel. The feelings and emotions this book draws are wonderful. I intend to read more of Kat's books if they are anything like this one.

Summary: One Great Book !
Review: This was a "Keep-me-up" all night kind of book. It was unfortunate for me that I fell asleep, while reading it. However, not one minute after I woke up I was on the "Reading Railroad" once again. I loved the characters, the plot, and most of all the romance!

Summary: I love Kat Martin's Books.
Review: This was a great book. I love how she allows you to meet secondary characters that you will find in future books. The one thing I wish she had done differently in this book was to just introduce Gwen and Adam. I found that I was excited to read their story as much as the main characters Matt and Jessie. And was a little bummed when she quickly had Adam rescue Gwen and marry her. I thought there could have been another good book there. If you love Kat Martin you will love this book.

Summary: A must read curl up romance
Review: This was the first book I read of Kat Martin's and it was terrific. I could not put it down and finished reading it within a day. For anyone looking for a great read this is it. I guarantee that after you read this wonderful story you'll want to read other historical romances by Kat Martin like I did. She is now one of my favourites!!!
