Rating:  Summary: A sexy "pygmalian" romance Review: I absolutely love this novel. It's unquestionably one of Robard's best works. Forget tall, dark heroes ladies. I thought I liked those types the best too, until Robards introduces readers to the character of Sebastian in this novel. He's incredibly handsome, with ice blue eyes and the blond hair of an angel. Yet, he's no angel. In fact he's got many flaws (which is one of the reasons I like him as a hero--he's more real than the standard romance fare). He's a social snob to some extent and he's perfectly unfair when it comes to relationships (he initially doesn't want to marry Julia, just make her his mistress; yet, he does everything in his power to prevent her from accepting a respectable marriage proposal). From his cold upbringing, he doesn't know how to love and doesn't trust that emotion. Julia changes all that with her freely given love. I really liked Julia as a heroine because, although she loves Sebastian to distraction, she doesn't bow down to him. Although she comes from the streets, she never thinks of herself as inferior to the ton. I liked her spunk and her determination.This story is super sexy (some really hot scenes in here), ultra-romantic, and will keep you on your toes until the very end. Like all romances, readers know that all will end happily ever after, but Robards keeps the excitement going in this book until nearly the last moment. Definitely a keeper.
Rating:  Summary: The love story between Sebastian and Julia was breathtaking. Review: I could not put this book down, as with all of Ms. Robards stories. I am really hooked on her books. Loving Julia is definately one of the best. Sebastian is one of the most romantic and handsome men that Karen Robards has written.Even though he seems to be cold and heartless, Julia brings out the love inside of him. I loved the way that he teaches Julia to be a lady, and I laughed many times. I will definately be reading this one again and again.
Rating:  Summary: A MOST DEFINITE ***10*** Review: I fell in love with Jewel..she was such an "innocent". I have read all of KR's books and this is my all time favorite of all her books, in fact my favorite book period. As Johanna Lindsey says, she doesn't have to read the reviews to buy her books. Whenever she has a new book coming out, I just buy it because I know it is going to be "GREAT". I have yet to be disappointed.

Rating:  Summary: Wonderfully romantic... Review: I highly recommend this book. I could not put it down. Several times I would feel my heart leap to my throat or my stomach churn with emotion. The characters are so vivid and well written. You can't help but fall in love with Sebastian and Julia. A must read for anyone who likes a good romantic tale.

Rating:  Summary: A heartwrenching, true "cinderella/my fair lady" romance! Review: If you've seen and loved My Fair Lady and Gigi, you'll love this book. I read it twice (from the library) and cried each time, returned it, forgot the title/author and now have been searching for months to find it again- This is my lucky day! You feel so close to the characters and journey with them as Sebastian learns to "live" and love, to step out of the cold, emotionless lord and overcome social class barriers. And there's a tender twist where we learn just why Sebastian can't believe in love, that anyone would love him for himself and not for his social standing and wealth (hint: has to do with his parents, specifically his mother). Then with Jewel/Julia, you feel with her the frustration of loving, what you will do or compromise for love, and its heartbreaking price. Above all, the final message is that you don't know how precious that one special love is until you lose that person forever.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent book Review: it seemed somewhat different from the previous book i have read from her, interesting and my top 5 favourite book of her, there is no one boring page here and a must read
