There's not many Historical Romance books from the 70's-80's where the main character really stands out & grabs & draws me right away into their story, most times it takes some warming up for me. But our "heroine Angie Howard (Angel) sure did for me. She had me laughing out loud from beginning to the end. Her story is told in the 1st person so you really get to know not only Angie herself but her thoughts & views on things and how she looks at life, which makes it all the more entert...more

OK, this is one of the first "trashy" novels I read as a 12-ish-year-old (then re-read) and I remain surprised at how much this story has stuck with me. The historical tidbits are great and have proven useful! I might need to find this again and see if I'm still drawn in.
I loved this book. Very racy though and sexually graphic. Not what I expected when I bought it, because it did not have a cover. It was still really good though and kept me on the edge of my seat.
I was still in love with Jennifer Wilde's novels so of course I had to read it.. and I loved it!
My first steamy romance at 13 and still have it tucked up on a shelf for future enjoyment.
I loved it!!
A wonderful trashy novel I picked up for 50 cents at the local used bookstore when I was a teen. What a great plot but even better, it has great descriptions of clothing, food and locale. I read EVERY book Jennifer Wilde wrote; then I found out it was a man writing under a pseudonym. Doesn't ruin it at all for me, though. He's still a great romance novelist.
It left me depressed.
Her liaison with heros ended badly
heros?
first 1.hugh
2.Jamie
3.a second chance with Hugh
4.Clinton Meredith
and 5.a second chance with Jamie
While many readers gave this book a high rating, I kept asking myself where's the romance?

This was a very refreshing romance novel where you get to see the heroine grow up. She goes through 3 different relationships and for once, none of the guys are assholes, so you kind of feel bad for them when it ends. It has the perfect ending. It is really good and I adored it.
first historical romance i read very good loved the charcters
Adventure from the git go. Great book!
