Folks, this is as good as it gets for romance books. Royce is the manliest of men and Jennifer gets through him and he her. It is the most romantic book I have ever read. I think the best thing about this book is there is so much interaction between the two, you laugh, cry and don't even want to break to go to the bathroom. I read in 2 days!!!!! I just finished this book as a 3rd book of the Westmorelands and I don't think Judith McNaught could make me feel more in another book!

I was thoroughly impressed with this novel, I have to say! It was an exciting, surprising story with more twists and turns in it than a mountain road. My first, McNnaught novel, I was delighted by her rich and real characters and enthralled by their miscommunications. A touching romance with real issues played out amidst feuding Scots and Brits with swords, skirmishes and betrayals. I'm glad a took a chance on this novel. I loved it!

When I started reading this book I realized I had read it some time ago. It was good enough to read a second time.

One of my favorite by this author. I love the feisty Scottish heroine, Jennifer, who struggles against her attraction to the arrogant English Duke of Claymore.

I think Judith McNaught is one of the best writers of historical romance. The characters are believable and altough flawed still make you care what happens.

A cute book set in 15th century Scottland. Heroine is a 17 year old Scotts-woman who has wound up captive of the hero, an Englishman who is her clan's greatest enemy. A lot happens in this story and it was certainly entertaining but a bit shallow. I found myself skimming a lot, the story's formula was predictable and while the characters had a lot of charm, I didn't fall in love with anyone. There is a bit of a spanking moment if you like that kind of thing, it wasn't the best, but there it was.

Really?! This author really needs to get her facts straight. 1820's England, and the elite are dining on... fresh lobster?? um NOOOO!!! Lobster was not considered a delicacy then. Lobster was considered a scavenger, a bottom feeder, unfit to eat... thus only fed to slaves here in America. It was not considered as "real food" until the slaves started asking for more. And as much as Americans did not like the English then, they DID copy them in everything fashionable, including food.
And more little things, like "she went downstairs at 5 minutes past 11, (but) the clock gonged 11 as they went out the door. huh? so the 5 minutes in the drawing room went backwards?
And... she drags the simplest little scene out for too many pages!!
