Very Entertaining!

"SHE WAS THE MOST SCANDALOUS WOMAN IN LONDON Her escapades were legendary, her love affairs shocking. Celebrated mistress of the Crown Prince, intimate of Oscar Wilde, the twice-wed, twiced-widowed Christina Wentworth-Gibbons, duchess of Wynterbrooke, had yet to meet her match in any man. HE WAS THE MOST NOTORUOUS OUTLAW IN THE LAND The rugged, ruthless outlaw the world had dubbed the Brighton Bandit was a man of smoldering sensuality and insatiable appetites. With a spirit and daring that rivaled Christina's own, he swept the bewitching beauty into his midnight world of sin and misadventure...a world more seductive-and dangerous-than any she had ever known, until now. Yet the moment this highwayman clashed with the rebellious Christina, he was lost...lost in the sensual magic of an unforgettable woman who made him burn for what could never be his- and whose tender courage dared his hating heart to love." _______ This was my first Katherine O'Neal book but it certainly won't be my last. I love both Catherine and Richard, loved the dialog between them and loved Catherine's fiestiness.

Blazin! This was one of the sexiest romance novels ever!

I loved this book. It was hot!. One of the sexiest books ever! My brother - who had always laughed at my choice of literature -read this book when he broke his leg and said "Now I understand why you like these books! Do you have another one?"

I once threw this book!

This novel illicited so much emotion from me that I actually threw it aross the room, deciding (in frustration) that I would never finish it!!! (This is the only book I have ever done that with- so you know it's good!) Two days later I found it- having not been able to get it out of my mind- and finished it in one sitting. I love this novel. I have read it many times, will read it many times, and have purchased it many times (because I've passed my copy on to friends). It is a beautiful story- realistic in that the characters are real; the herione is no simpering virgin in a corset, but she does have fragility. The hero is no gentleman, he is a rake, rugged, fearsome- but also sweet, sensitive and loving. *sigh* The two are worthy of each other, they match in wits and spirit. The story is not very real, but it is a wonderful tale of adventure, love, passion and vengence that takes place in many wonderful nooks- thunding, gothic mansions, hide-outs in the lush forest, the theatre..... it captures my heart and imagination every time I read it!!! I would love to see a movie from this novel- I once imagined Catherine Zeta Jones in the heroine role. Ms. O'Neal is very talented and I am a loyal and avid fan.

Kathy does it again

Katherine O'Neal is a great writer, and this book shows that again. With steamy love scenes, a great and mostly believable plot, it's a great book. By the time you're done, you hate Christina's parents and the Prince Albert, feel for Christina, and fall in love with the Highwayman. And no, I'm not just saying that cause the author's my cousin!
