Summary: Ugh!
Review: I was truly disappointed! I have always found the online reviews very useful in selecting romance novels---in this case I question whether or not we read the same book! I thought that the story moved at a snail's pace! Too much dull conversation! The storyline seemed to wander in many directions. I bought this one because I enjoyed her "Charming the Prince." I'll be alot more careful in chosing her as one of my online purchases. Save your pennies for one of the many other great romance books that you can buy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Different and great!
Review: Ms. Medeiros hooked me from the very first page. I couldn't put it down

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: BORING!!!
Review: Please I can't believe all the good reviews for this book. I couldn't even finish it & tried several times. The story & characters are just plain stupid. This has got to be the worst book I've read in a long time. This is the second book I've read by this author & probably my last!!!

Summary: Sebastian and Prudence will entertain readers for years.
Review: Prudence Walker's life will never be the same after she meets a masked highwayman one dark and stormy night on a lonely road. Prudence Walker's life will never be the same after she meets Sebastian Kerr, her aunt's fiance'. Once she realizes the highwayman and her aunt's fiance' are one and the same, the real adventure begins, and love weaves it's magical web around the two of them. This book launched me into the world of historical romance.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not as good as some of the others
Review: The first two books I read by Ms. Medeiros were Charming the Prince and Nobody's Darling which are both excellent books. This one fell back a bit. I agree with the other reviewers that the constant time and scene changes can be a bit confusing and Sebastian was very selfish through the beginning of the book. There were also more characters who I disliked than who I liked. I only liked about three characters. The reason I rated this book fairly highly is because the heroine is not drop dead gorgeous. Reading romance novels sometimes makes me feel a bit lacking in the looks department because the lead females are always so pretty. This book was good because Sebastian loved Prudence even though she was not the fairest in all the land. I also liked the cat. My advise is to get this one from the library or a used book store but it is still worth reading.

Summary: A book that reads itself
Review: This book is filled with so many twist and turns I just love it. One right after the other. I love how Ms. Mederios dares to do some of the things she does in this book. The only problem I have with this book is it's a little choppy here and there, but besides that its all good. The middle was a little boring as well....overall I recommend it, this book hold new concepts and is just refreshing. One thing I thought that was particularly sweet is how both of these characteres are truly obessed with each in their own thoughts....alright stop reading this and go buy this :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: this book is awesome!!!
Review: This book is so good. It has charming emotion, cutting witt, and humor. This novel also has a certain appeal to it, maybe it's the magic of the highlands. Throughout this book, I felt as if I were in the gang of bandits watching it all. Pru should've been a little more angry with Sebastian, but I totally loved this book. I hope Ms. Medeiros writes many more just like it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: She made me believe in soulmates...
Review: This is my second Teresa Medeiros novel and I wasn't disappointed!! I just finished reading it and I'm still sitting here with a silly grin on my face. This was a definete page turner! I just had to know what was going to happen next. The action never once stopped and never once was I bored or tempted to skim pages.

I absolutely loved the way Prudence slowly evolved from the prim and proper "spinster" who had been neglected and walked over all her life to the strong, beautiful woman she had been meant to be. She blossomed so beautifully throughout the book.

But what struck me the most was how Sebastian saw the beauty she hid underneath the tight chignon and the heavy spectacles. He knew almost immediately that she was the one meant for him and she and only she could invoke the magical and deeply stirring effect on him that love and only true love can create.

I came to believe that they were soul mates and I loved that no matter what happened to them, they were always inexplicably drawn back to each other. They fought to overcome the odds and it was breathtaking to watch... because I felt as though I there beside Jamie watching it all unfold.

I loved the secondary characters. They filled me full of tenderness or made me laugh out loud. And in the end I truly cared about them almost as much as Prudence and Sebastian. Of course there were a couple of characters that I despised... but it was fun to hate them. The story was filled with laugh-out loud humour and I found myself giggling quietly as best I could so not to wake my husband as I read. I was touched and moved by this book...

I cannot wait to read another one!! I am so glad I found this author! She is amazing.
