Meh. As far as I know, this is the first book by Hunter that I've read. I stumbled across it because I was looking for some guardian / ward romances this was on a list of them. I enjoyed it in the beginning. But there is a fine line with guardian / ward romances. It's a very fine line. And this one crossed it. It's one thing for the guardian to seduce the ward but he can't regret it. And this one not only regreted it but he didn't want to do it to begin with but couldn't stop himself *rolls eyes

The Saint, I’m afraid to say, was the so far weakest book I’ve read yet by Madeline Hunter. I adore her for her very intricate and clever storylines and intense emotions. Unfortunately this book did dissapoint me in respect of the storyline (which is all in all not bad but not excellent like other efforts from her).
This is Vergils story who unexpectedly inherited the title after his brothers suicide and with it also the duty of guarding his brothers ward Bianca – a young girl with ancest More...

I liked this story much more than the first book in the series. Vergil's story was much more real and rich for me. I didn't want it to end.
My heart wrenched several times for Vergil and his difficult choices. And I struggled along with him in weighing and managing all the responsibilities he had to assume as head of the family. I'm glad he was strong enough to let Bianca make her own decisions about their relationship though.
As for Bianca, while I applauded her am More...

The titles in this series are cringe worthy! But I did promise to give them a try . . .
I have to say that I am not a fan of books where men are in some kind of guardian "position" for a woman with whom they are having an affair/relationship. It seems like just another powerful man scenario, and this is the second book in the series to use this plot device. T

When I started the book I was sceptical about the "American heiress who wants to be an opera singer but is being held captive by her starchy English guardian", which seemed like a sure-fire formula for a TSTL heroine and histrionics. But Bianca was actually an engaging and interesting heroine, and I liked her desire for independence and her strength in the face of Vergil's (initial) obtuseness and everyone's pooh-poohing her ambition, even if she was a little stubborn and thoughtless o

I loved this book. The overall theme appealed to me. Vergil was a man who was as straitlaced as they come. Not because he wanted to be that way, but he had a family that was depending on him to make the right decisions after his older brother passed away. So when he finds out he has been named guardian of an American young miss, he is very surprised.
Color him even more surprised when he finds Bianca in the situation he did after she gave his brother the slip. Bianca has dreams of her More...

Second in this series, story of Vergil and Bianca...
For the first half, this would fit in the "explosive couples" category- between the unconventional American and the "Saint" there are a lot of sparks... but Hunter does have a way both with words and her characters, and again, this one works. I for one was not entirely sure who the bad guy(s) really was/were up until the end, although I did have some suspicions.

Not one of my favorites, but still interesting! I knew the outcome of several of the plot points, having read later books in the series, but I still enjoyed the process. A bit too much deception for my tastes, but I understand.

Really enjoyed this one; overall I have the "seducers" series to be inconsistent. I think this is my favorite of the series; but it could just be I was in the right mood for it.

I liked the story and the setting. Guardian wants to protect his charge from America. Heroine having been raised in America was brash and sassy. Wants to be an opera singer. Hero wants to convince her not to. Romance ensues.

I loved this story, it was so romantic! Wonderful characters, great story line, and plot! Just enough suspense, mystery, and passion! Especially loved the ending!

I should be ashamed to even list this in my books, but seriously... I got on this whacked out trashy-romance novel kick in January and this was one of the first few I read. As soon as I was done, I went on to read all 19 trash-novels by this author because she rocks my romance-novel world. :) As cliche as it probably sounds, she really is a good writer and weaves history and mystery throughout all of her books with characters' lives being entwined from one book to the next.

Compared to the other books in the series, this one felt choppy, conventional, and overall, unimpressive.

Snooze fest. If I didn't enjoy the series, I would have stopped reading the book.
