Awesome book

The main characters are ones that’s grabs u and won’t let go , couldn’t put the book down , wanted to know what happens next .... enchanting.....

one of her best

Very enjoyable. I read somewhere that Susannah (the heroine) was Robards's favorite.

Even Better the 2nd Time aroud!!!!!!

As a side note..the cover of this book..the one with the woman whiping the man just made me crack up :). I remember reading this very good novel but not remembering the author because it was such a long time ago..years and years I say. I got lucky and this book fell into my hands a second time :) hehehe. In a short summary, a spinster that is busy taking care of her father and 3 sisters decides to buy a slave. The thing I don't get is that ...her father is a priest. This somehow contradicts itself, yet it works. Surprisingly, the man only stays around to get under her skirt. He turns out to be a marquis and she catches him 'sneaking' away. The sex is incredible, the guy is incredible, but he is an idiot she always seems to forgive. Ehh?! This book has it's funny parts..when he is trying to collect eggs from the chicken coop and comes out with feathers stuck to him and killer chickens after him. Her sisters always bickering..kinda reminds me of my family. :) Come on give it a try, you know you want to . and besides it's a good one.

Breathtaking Romance

I loved this book. I've read it twice, and I still cannot get over the incredible romance that Susannah and Ian share. I loved Susannah's family, and only hope that in the future, Karen Robards will revisit Susannah's sisters and write their stories of romance. The intimate scenes between Ian and Susannah will take your breath away. The ending will make you smile and laugh, and the relationship between the two lovers will keep you in stitches of laughter and in near tears simultaneously. I recommend this book wholeheartedly. Read it and you'll know what I'm talking about.

Wonderful romance with a "plain looking" girl.

This was a very fast paced book that kept me on edge anticipating turning to the next page. One of the things I liked most about this story was that Susannah was not the typical beauty that you find in most books. I read this book in one night and have passed it on to several friends and sisters who loved it just as I did.

Preacher's daughter meets bonded man with secret past

This is a wonderful love story. Susannah is the "old maid" eldest daughter of a widower preacher. To help ease her workload, she decides to purchase a "bound man." She recklessly purchases Ian Connelly,a convict who has been badly beaten. While restoring him back to health, she develops an instant attraction to this stranger who is surprisingly well educated and very handsome. Ian has a secret past and identity, and this past is still trying to hunt him down. He works diligently to prove himself to Susannah, but she has difficulty pushing aside his status as her "bound" servant. The romance that develops between these two characters is so sweet and strong, that you will not be able to sert the book down until you've finished. I literally stayed up all night to read this book, it was that good. The story takes place in both America and England, during the days when convicts were shipped off to America to be sold as slaves.
