Never a Dull Moment! Terrific!

Hot, Hot, Hot, this book was terrific! I could not put it down. Kept me up late and got me up early, neglected my family just to read one more page. It was wonderful. Brenda Joyce is the greatest! The story of Jane Barclay and Nicholas Bragg, the Earl of Dragmore. Their lifes were in constant turmoil, always something going on. They had so many mis-understandings, but Bredna Joyce did an excellent job of bringing out the characters' viewpoints in such a way you could understand where they were coming from. Jane became Nick's ward when she was dumped on him uninvited. All he needed was another problem. The chemestry between these two sizzled. You won't be disappointed! This is a must read!!

Could Not Put It Down!

It was that good. I mean it had just enough excitement, romance, suspense to keep you awake. Nicholas and Jane were just explosive together. I loved it when Nicholas found out that Jane was faithful for the 2 years they were apart. It made him realize that Jane truly loved him and that she loved him even if he was a half-breed and a the son of a rapist. I thought Nicholas was a true gentlemen because he kept on wanting to fight his feelings for Jane because she was his ward and a innocent girl. But Jane knew what she wanted, and she wanted Nicholas, so she went after him. She even tries to wear her mother's dress to make Nicholas see her as more of a grown-up woman, so she can compete with his mistress. I thought they would never get together because circumstances kept on keeping them apart throughout the book.
