A delicious romantic tale of love and laughter

The love between the hero and heroine is a "love for all time." It will keep you engrossed to the very end.

Romantic and absorbing!

I just finished Brenda Jernigan's LOVE ONLY ONCE -- what a great book! Absorbing, romantic, non-stop tension. This is definitely an author to watch. I can't wait for her next one.

CAPTIVATING, SENSUAL, SUPERBLY WRITTEN

Ms. Jernigan has once again written a well researched, captivating, exciting story. She has brought Elizabeth and Jonathan to life in a story that will warm your heart and soul, as well as other parts of your body. One minute you'll be reaching for your winter coat, the next wishing you were wearing a bikini. Jonathan can warm up my chilblains any day. Once you read it you'll know what I mean. I highly recommend this book. What a great way to start the new year. I can't wait for Ms. Jernigan's next book Dance On The Wind.

A Great Read!

Elizabeth Trent doesn't know what to do. She's about to walk down the aisle to marry the man of her dreams, Jonathan Hird, but she has a terrible secret. She was raped and she is now pregnant. She can't find the strength to tell him, so she ends up leaving Jonathan at the altar without a word or note.Hurt and humiliated, Jonathan sails from England and memories of Elizabeth. He's been living as a pirate for the past two years and now he's back. Stronger, dangerous and firm in his belief that he cares nothing for Elizabeth, he's talked into finding Elizabeth a suitable husband.Elizabeth and Jonathan meet again and they are still attracted to each other, but can Elizabeth make Jonathan see that the only suitable husband for her is him? Will she ever find the courage to tell Jonathan the truth of why she left him at the altar?We first meet Elizabeth and Jonathan in THE DUKE'S LADY, a story about Elizabeth's twin brother, Adam. The first few chapters in LOVE ONLY ONCE have some flashback scene which helps get the reader up to speed, after that it pretty much runs it course uninterrupted. Ms. Jernigan set the story very nicely, creating a steady pace with a few surprises thrown in to shake things up a bit!

Fast paced and awesome!

Jonathan Hird returned from war wounded, but alive. He was to marry the woman he loved, Elizabeth Trent. But Elizabeth left him at the alter with no explanation. Her brother, Adam, was Jonathan's best friend; however, he would not tell his sister's reason for disappearing. She had made Adam promise. Jonathan took to the sea with Jean and Pierre Lafitte for two years, returning only when word of his father's illness reached him. He meant for his visit to Adam to be brief and uneventful. Adam's wife was nearing her time for birthing their child. Therefore, Adam talked Jonathan into, not only caring for his father, but to find Elizabeth a husband since she was in that same area. At the same time, Captain Lee (a dangerous enemy of Adam, Jonathan, and Elizabeth's - to name only a few), was back from the dead for revenge on them all! ***** An awesome tale! Fast paced and so full suspense I could not put it down! Don't begin reading this one until you have plenty of time or you may find yourself forgetting all your plans so you can see what happens on the next page. Highly recommended reading from an outstanding author! ***** Reviewed by Detra Fitch
