I love when I come across a free book and it is such a good story. I always enjoy historical romance and this was no exception. Although the time frame is different from the favorites currently for setting. It is the time of restoration in England. The returning of freedom of the English Roman Catholic brought the return of many who had fled to exile. Nicholas was just that an Earl who had been living in exile. On his return he is trying to keep a promise to his father to get back their fa

While I'm frustrated I can't remember the particulars of this story well enough to compose an in-depth review, ( I read it on the airplane at the beginning of a two week vacation.) I do remember I really enjoyed it. The premise of a kidnapping where the heroine is totally unaware she's been kidnapped (she thinks he is just helping her run away from an unsuitable match) was fresh and fun. Still, the light-heartedness never became silly and the author adeptly lead the reader into much more emo

May 11/11: Inaugural kindle read
January 3-19: I started trying to read this on my laptop. Painful - and not fair to rate a book based on that. I'm going to shelve this one and re-read it once I get my kindle.

I usually don't like historical fiction, but this was an exception. I enjoyed it. It was something new and fresh. I thought it was sort of amusing since Katherine didn't know she was actually being kidnapped.

How wonderful to find a romance set in Restoration England. Such an interesting time, and so little used as a setting.

I'm in need for a little historical romance fix. 1663 is the year that opens this story.
This was a freebie for kindle so I'm reading this with high hopes and optimism for an interesting and well edited book.

Update: I did finally buy it, but I found it was mostly like any other romance. While it's fun to have a strong man melt, poor Nicholas went through the wringer. I was considering 2 stars, but for a romance it was fun.

Argh, I read the first three chapters that were available on GoodReads, and it's okay but not enough for me to want to buy it. And the cover bothers me because she has "honey" colored hair, and the model on the cover clearly does not. Why do th

i enjoyed this book. my only gripe was that it really didn't take much for the heroine to fall in love with the hero. she saved his life and he took her with him so she could get out of a marriage betrothal.

a free nook book that was good - yippee! The story moved and was fun to read. I see that the author wrote a sequel for the 1/2 brother - great idea, but most likely I won't read it.

2.5 rating. Has some nice moments and I like the Restoration setting, but overall did not turn out to be my kind of romance. I think plenty of other romance readers will enjoy it.

I always like these until I get to the corny ending--but this one was fun!
