Summary: Keep them coming Julia!
Comment: After reading Wicked Angel, I eagerly awaited her next novel...... I read it in its entirety the very day I received it in the mail - I have to admit I wondered how she'd be able to top Wicked Angel... Well- here it is-
Although WA is still my favorite, I loved this book as well. The plot was so unique... 3 friends (handsome young rogues!) try to go on after one of their dearest friends has been killed by Adrian in a horrible duel that should have never taken place..... The character development was amazing... You know when you read a book and you feel like you really KNOW these people? Your heart ACHES when theirs do? Well- this is that kind of book! Isn't that what a good book is all about!
What a refreshingly spirited heroine Lilliana is - (she reminds me of Whitney in Whitney, My Love by Judith McNaught). Her antics to get Adrian's attention had me grinning the whole way through - I love it when she paints a picture of him on a mule! Not only is she witty, beautiful and caring, she is a deep, strong person - just the woman Adrian needs to make him whole - IF HE EVER COMES AROUND!
It is so touching how Julia shows us how Adrian, a MAN (in every sense of the word!) who is so determined to keep his feelings locked away, consumed with self-pity and guilt over what he has done, slowly learn to trust, love and give his heart to his spirited, country-bumpkin hoyden of a wife!
This is a BEAUTIFUL love story- definitely a keeper... save this one for when you have time to savor and enjoy - and get lost in this book without any interruptions....

Summary: Superb!
Comment: This is the first Julia London book I read and I'm determined to buy any other book of hers I can get my eyes on. The plot is quick, very very interesting, the dialogues witty, the characters very well developed.
Lillie makes all sorts of things to attract his attention during the daytime. In the night he is a wonderful lover, but during the day he completely ignores her. Adrian certainly has good reason to avoid getting very intimate with anyone, after his father's behavior and the killing of his cousin. Adrian, though a rake, is adorable, especially after the accident he has. He married her for revenge against his brother. The simple, timid country girl proved a real surprise in their wedding night. But he is determined not to feel anything for anyone again in his life. So Lillie starts making all sorts of extreme things to provoke some feeling inside him, even if that feeling is anger! Adrian slowly starts to notice his wife and finds out she's not as simpleton or as demure as he thought. After some time he realizes that he cares for her and wants to tell that to her, but everything goes wrong. Adrian has a terrible accident that makes him even more distant than before. But in this time of need she stands beside him, despite his angry words to her. But they have to fight all the lies that are thrown between them until they realize, what the reader already knows, that they are made for each other.
I stayed up until late reading this book wanting to find out how it ends and at the same time, wishing it wouldn't end. I'm looking forward to read about the two other rogues, especially Arthur. I am only sorry I haven't found Julia London earlier. I think of her at the same level with Jude Deveraux and Judith McNaught, my favorite authors. If you haven't read them, do it now!

Summary: Pretty Good
Comment: Julia London is generally a good storyteller, and there are parts of this book that are extremely well-written and humorous, especially those where the heroine attempts to shake the hero's disinterest; these are amusing enough in themselves to justify reading the book.
However, I do not consider this book on par with some of her other novels. I really didn't like the hero that much, nor did I find all of his psychological problems particularly interesting. I find it implausible when 18th century characters spout 20th century college psychology. And I find one of the basic premises, that he would kill his best friend, to lack credibility.
With that disclaimer, this isn't a bad read, just not as good as some of her other books.
