CLASSIC ANNE STUART!!
By A Customer
With some authors I just NEED to have every book they've written and Anne Stuart is one of them. If you've read any of her books (historical or modern) you know she goes in for a dark hero who is usually more bad than good (or maybe I should say so bad he's good). At any rate, I stumbled across this earlier book and WOW!!! What a ride. It takes place right after the French Revolution and our French heroine has managed to survive but not without a load of emotional scars. She is living in England when low and behold she is presented with the opportunity to take revenge on the Englishman (our hero) she blames for all the woes she and her family suffered during the reign of terror. And we're off. . . Needless to say things don't go as she plans. Great story line, great characters who are FULLY developed and complex. Wonderful "secondary character" love story. Order this book! It is worth the extra you will have to pay for a used copy. A definite keeper to add to your Anne Stuart collection. It's 394 sexy pages of adventure, tears and pleasure!

Strange, weakly-motivated characters, in a plot that spins around
By SusieQ
This book was described to me as a superlative example of the romance genre.
Well...it wasn't superlative for me. First of all, I did not buy the reason that had Nicholas being the tormented dark hero that he was. It was very lame and confused. I *think* what the author wanted to say, is that Nicholas's father didn't love him -- or at least, Nicholas *thought* his father didn't love him, and when his older brother died and Nicholas was all that was left, his father regretted that and let Nicholas know it. So, this was Nicholas's excuse to become a womanizing rakehell bent on self-destruction.
Secondly, I couldn't come to terms with Nicholas refusing to help Ghislaine's family when they were threatened by the oncoming French Revolution. He really loved her at that time, although she was only 15. But Nicholas gets a letter telling him his father's dead, so he uses THAT as an excuse to become all hard & cold, and tells Ghislaine's father he won't take her out of the country? Huh? This is the love of your life - your first love no less - the one person who makes you feel all tender & happy - and you're going to go haywire and not help her or her family, because you got a letter telling you your father's dead, and suddenly you feel unlovable?
More reasonably, I could see Nicholas feeling unlovable at age 35 after years of being a skanky rake, but at age 22, Nicholas should have been more mallable and willing to believe in love. But of course, if he had helped Gilly's family, there would no further story, because Gilly wouldn't have had anything to hate him for!
And that brings me to my third point: (SPOILERS) How can you ever love someone who left you in a very dangerous situtation that ultimately destroyed your family? Nicholas's failure to come to their aid brings utter destruction and Gilly's parents are killed. And she's left to sell herself on the streets of Paris. Excuse me, but all that would DEFINITELY come between me and whatever uncontrollable attraction I felt for a man. Even a mere fictional character should have more sense. (END SPOILERS)
I also thought the subplot between Ellen & Tony was just a chore to read, not a bore necessarily, but a chore. If one more person or happenstance interrupted their potential lovemaking, I was going to SCREAM bloody murder. I hate it when authors play around that way -- bringing their characters to the brink, and then having someone walk in on them, or having a cat knock over a dish; over and over. It doesn't increase the dramatic or sensual tension - it just gets old, FAST, and annoying. Despite the flimsy reasons given for the choices they made, Gilly and Nicholas were by far a more interesting couple than Ellen and Tony. I suppose the author wanted a 'light' sub-story to counterbalance the 'dark' romance of Gilly and Nicholas but Ellen and Tony are two average characters; just blah. Their ho-hum romance never really took off.
The constantly changing settings gave me a headache. The characters are whipped from England to Scotland to Holland to Venice to France, (and flashbacks to Gilly's youth in France as well). (SPOILER ALERT) When Nicholas had the battle with the man who raped Gilly (entirely due to Nicholas' failing to rescue her, I could not forget) it was so melodramatic. And then he ends up killing the guy who sold her to the madam. (END OF SPOILER)
I guess the author was trying to redeem Nicholas in the heroine's eyes - well, it worked for the Gilly, more fool her, but just didn't work for me.
2 stars for the somewhat intriguing heroine with a vengeful backbone (I much preferred Gilly when she wanted to poison Nicholas) but, the unbelieveable motivations of the main characters; weak secondary characters, and really melodramatic actions in the last few chapters soured this story.

mesermizing, haunting, unforgettable, Stuart at her best!
By Deborah MacGillivray
I thought I had read every book Anne Stuart had written, but somehow, I missed this wonderful one. Fortunately, I discovered one listed on amazon.com used, because for some stupid reason, Avon doesn't have the good sense to keep this one in reprint. It another of Stuart's display of genius, that mesmerizes the reader to where you cannot put it down. She catches you up from page one and won't let you go, until she puts you through an emotional ringer. She gives you another of those Gamma-Rogue Males that has a black heart and a blacker soul.
Ghislaine de Lorgny is out to kill Nicholas Blackthorne - along with numerous cuckolded husbands - and she has plenty of reasons. Gilly blames the death of her family on the guillotine and the loss of her virtue at Blackthone's door. When Gilly was fifteen, Nicholas visited his Godparents (Gilly's parents) just as The Terror was sweeping through France. Gilly fell in love with the beautiful Nicholas, and Nicholas demonstrated affection for Gilly. But when her father begs Nicholas to take her to England, away from Napoleon's nightmare reign, Nicholas coldly dismisses him, unknowingly consigning Gilly's family to death. She escaped with her 12-year-old brother onto the streets of Paris, where she watched her parents killed. Left to see to her brother's and her survival, the nightmare continued. An evil man sold Gilly into prostitution and had her brother carried away, likely killed. Gilly has carried that hatred for ten years, but finally her time for revenge has come.
Nicholas Blackthorne, the last of the mad Blackthornes, has lived his life knowing his mother and father hated that his brother had died instead of him. So, he did everything he could to live up to the mad Blackthorne's reputation. He lives with so many regrets, one being he feels responsible for the de Lorgny family going under the blade. When Gilly's father asked Nicholas to take her to England, Nicholas had just received a letter telling of his father's dead so he'd carelessly brushed off the man. For the last ten years, Nicholas believe Gilly was killed with her parents; her face has haunted his mind.
He does not recognize Gilly as the chef his cousin Ellen hired a year ago, but he soon finds out after Gilly tries to poison him. Instead of turning her over to the local magistrate, he takes Gilly prisoner and spirits her off to Scotland, then later drags her across Europe.
Hot on their heels is his cousin Ellen and Tony. Ellen has always loved Tony, but he has been more of a big brother to her. Tony has been trying for the last two years to shift their relationship, but fears he has left it too late. He sees this rescue of Gilly as a means to be close to Ellen and change her thinking towards him. Their secondary romance makes this into two loves stories, not just one.
Nicholas Blackthorne is one of Stuart's total bad boys she delights making you love. Gilly is unforgettable, her pain and betrayal stings, showing her indomitable spirit. The reader is exhausted after their emotional battles. It's one of those books you won't ever be able to forget.
Now someone explain why Avon does not reprint such high quality writing?
