    <![CDATA[<p> <strong>Jude Deveraux</strong><br/> captures the thrill of an American beauty's Highlands wedding, where a royal title is at stake -- and where love wins the day. <p> <strong><em>The Duchess</em></strong> <p> Claire Willoughby risked losing millions in her inheritance if, as decreed by her grandfather, she did not wed an &quot;acceptable&quot; man. Harry Montgomery, the eleventh Duke of MacArran, seemed perfect. He owned a historic castle, he looked manly in a kilt, and he was as much a titled Scotsman as Bonnie Prince Charlie himself. <p> Their engagement announced, Claire's future as a duchess was assured -- and she set off with her family to meet the Montgomery clan in Scotland. Bramley Castle was a damp, chill place, over-flowing with eccentric relatives. But there was also Trevelyan, a secretive, brooding man who lived in Bramley's ancient halls. Whoever he was, he wasn't at all like Harry: Trevelyan was the most exasperating, arrogant, know-it-all of a man Claire had ever met. And the most fascinating...</p></p></p></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Unlike her later books , which are barely understandable, this book is from Deveraux's golden period. A romance, but NOT full of mushy,gushy, ridiculousness like most romances. Not only are the main characters interesting and believable,but so are all the minor ones,like the heroine's little sister....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/25473710">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is one of my favorite books.  I read it about 10 years ago for the first time and fell in love with Trevalyen.  I'll break it out every year or so and read it again.  After most of the books I've been reading this time around it was lacking in a few 4 letter words, which was kind of sweet.  :)]]></body>

    <![CDATA[<p> <strong>Jude Deveraux</strong><br/> captures the thrill of an American beauty's Highlands wedding, where a royal title is at stake -- and where love wins the day. <p> <strong><em>The Duchess</em></strong> <p> Claire Willoughby risked losing millions in her inheritance if, as decreed by her grandfather, she did not wed an &quot;acceptable&quot; man. Harry Montgomery, the eleventh Duke of MacArran, seemed perfect. He owned a historic castle, he looked manly in a kilt, and he was as much a titled Scotsman as Bonnie Prince Charlie himself. <p> Their engagement announced, Claire's future as a duchess was assured -- and she set off with her family to meet the Montgomery clan in Scotland. Bramley Castle was a damp, chill place, over-flowing with eccentric relatives. But there was also Trevelyan, a secretive, brooding man who lived in Bramley's ancient halls. Whoever he was, he wasn't at all like Harry: Trevelyan was the most exasperating, arrogant, know-it-all of a man Claire had ever met. And the most fascinating...</p></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p> <strong>Jude Deveraux</strong><br/> captures the thrill of an American beauty's Highlands wedding, where a royal title is at stake -- and where love wins the day. <p> <strong><em>The Duchess</em></strong> <p> Claire Willoughby risked losing millions in her inheritance if, as decreed by her grandfather, she did not wed an &quot;acceptable&quot; man. Harry Montgomery, the eleventh Duke of MacArran, seemed perfect. He owned a historic castle, he looked manly in a kilt, and he was as much a titled Scotsman as Bonnie Prince Charlie himself. <p> Their engagement announced, Claire's future as a duchess was assured -- and she set off with her family to meet the Montgomery clan in Scotland. Bramley Castle was a damp, chill place, over-flowing with eccentric relatives. But there was also Trevelyan, a secretive, brooding man who lived in Bramley's ancient halls. Whoever he was, he wasn't at all like Harry: Trevelyan was the most exasperating, arrogant, know-it-all of a man Claire had ever met. And the most fascinating...</p></p></p></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This has to be my favorite of all the Jude Deveraux books I've ever read, and I've read quite a lot of her works. You really fall for Trevelyan and the niave yet boistrous Clair. Plus all the added spice and mystery doesn't hurt. <br/><br/>That is all. <br/><br/>~ToNi~]]></body>
