An attention-getter from the first page. But Robards always writes wonderful stories.

one of my all time favorites!
Really enjoyed this book. Interesting charachters, good story line, good romance--good book.
London street urchin Jewel Combs had no future but one of whoredom and shame. Then a dying gentleman looked at her topaz eyes and still untouched innocence-and wed her to torment his aristocratic family with a final, scandalous joke after his death.
I'm a big fan of Robards. This was a classic My Fair Lady tale.
This was my first romance by Karen Robards and I was not disappointed. I enjoyed the transformation from "Jewel" to "Julia", the secondary characters added much to the story line, and all in all - it was a believable story that will have one laughing, crying, and rooting for Julia up until the very end.
This is my all time favorite Karen Robards story.
Excellent love story.
Early Robards-loved this period in her writing.
A fantastic read! One of the best!
