Jewel Of My Heart

Well Rosemary, you did it again!!!! I always wait for a new book to come out and usually I am never disappointed with it!!! You took me away again to unknown places and adventures. Easy reading from the first page to the last exciting moment. Now I have to wait a year for your next book..Well, I guess I'll have to read some of your past books for the hundredth time. Well worth my time, Thank you Rosemary.

Where have you been Rosemary Rogers??

One of my most favorite authors - and with this book I so remember how much I love her characters and depth of story. The story of Madison & Jeffrod is one where you find yourself screaming throughout "don't be so stubborn listen to your heart!!" Thankfully one of them FINALLY does. These two are headstrong individuals with so much passion you cannot help but want them to find true love. The heartfelt romance of Kendra's also contributed to the emotional depth of this book. For me, this book was one I just could not get enough of, could not put down and wished it would have gone on forever! No wonder I remember Rosemary Rogers as one of my favorite authors!! Only wish she would write MORE!!

intriguing Victorian romance

In 1888, artist Madison Westcott is painting a man in her room when her mother insists she come out to greet her Aunt Kendra visiting from Jamaica for the first time in years. Madison has her model Cundo climb out her window to avoid a scandal, but he is hurt when dogs chase him. Kendra's companion Jefford Harris takes Madison to task for risking Cundo's life and writes her off as spoiled. Not long afterward at a debutant ball, Madison reveals a nude portrait she painted of herself. Her family is appalled and to keep the scandal somewhat under control, Kendra takes her niece back to Jamaica with her. When the island erupts into revolution, Jefford takes his two female companions to safety in India where Jefford and Madison fall in love, but danger from a maniac with a diabolical plan endangers the trio. Around the World riding on the crest of love, JEWEL OF MY HEART is an intriguing Victorian romance with exotic locales to freshen up the exciting story line. Madison seems a bit foolish, pampered and immature, but under Kendra's nurturing, Jefford's love, and the danger they face she turns into a strong caring adult. The villain is a delightful rogue who readers will hiss at, but though incredibly written seems to pale when compared with events in Jamaica and India. Still this strong cast in several locations bring alive the late nineteenth century as Rosemary Rogers writes a rousing read. Harriet Klausner
