What a charming couple Julian and Lily made. Lily with her love of all God's creatures proved to be the balm that Julian's bitter heart needed. I loved all the "cats" in this story, especially Sebastian! The various scrappy individuals (both human and animal!) met during this story were delightfully portrayed! The tenderness that Julian showed in caring for his grown nephew Peter was wonderful. It does not often show up in Regencies, where we expect our hero to be a ruthless rogue. Julian, who thinks he is rather a rake, turns out to be a lion that lies with the lamb. A bit of fluffy reading for a delightful couple of hours.
"The Lion's" Roar Was Worse Than His Bite
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
No one could doubt that Miss Lily Clarke was a vicar's daughter. So angelic was she, charitable and compassionate, that all God's creatures earned and deserved her boundless devotion. Even those who did not wish it, such as Julian Winslow, Lord Ashton. Long ago, Julian had taken mans' measure and found it lacking. Since then he had kept his own counsel with the long arrogant pride attributed to the King of Beasts. But Julian's fierce demeanour did not discourage Lily, who set about to remove the thorn from "The Lion's" paw.
