Summary: Wonderful, fascinating read
Comment: After reading "My False Heart" by Liz Carlyle, I couldn't wait for her second book to come out. It does not disappoint. It is a story of a man and a woman who are destined to be together despite many obstacles.
I fell in love with Cole. He's respectable - not a "rake" or a "rogue." He is the nephew of Jonet's brother-in-law, James. James suspects that Jonet poisoned his brother and wants Cole to spy on her and report back to him. Hence, Cole is hired to tutor Jonet's two young sons and moves into her house - and the attraction is immediate.
Jonet is a very strong heroine. There are many evil goings-on in her house. Someone is trying to bring harm to her two small sons but she will protect them at all costs. Cole is witness to this evil first-hand and joins with Jonet in protecting his two young charges.
This book is first-rate. You will find yourself really becoming involved with the characters, primary and secondary. This is one of those books that will make you want to stay home from work so that you can read it, uninterrupted. It is a book you will find humorous, mysterious and erotic - it has it all. Do yourself a favor and read it.

Summary: it's not S&M.
Comment: This is not Ms. Carlyle's best romance...her best is The Devil You Know, which is really quite spectacular. But I'm just writing a review to say that it does *not* have S&M in it, only light bondage. There's one scene in which he ties her up and talks dirty to her and she loves it. Whether you love reading about it is another issue, but anyway, it's not S&M.

Summary: Apallingly bad
Comment: Cole as a hero is easily the most dull man anyone could ever have the mistfortune to meet in a romance, and Jonet is a cow of the first order. She wants to have sex with him but doesn't trust him and is a most unpleasant person right the way through the book. Even her love for her sons does not redeem her.
As for the supposed villain of the peace, the whole thing is so flimsy and ridiculous as to be totally unbelievable, and ayone with half a brain would know her and Delacourt's secret. A light read for people who really don't care too much about anything other than plot.
The violent SM Bondage scene is really totally out of keeping with character and is not in the least sexy. In fact the book has about as much sizzle as a damp firework. Her debut novel was good, this was appallingly bad. She breaks the basic rule of any good writing, show not tell. She gives details about her characters and situations with all of the pompousness of Dickens and none of the flair or interest.
