Redonk Nutshell: Illegitimate daughter of renowned parents falls in love with her married guardian
On a whim, I pulled this off the library shelf because a) I want to read more of Jane Feather and b) I liked that it was set in an earlier period of history than what I usually read. So here's what we get:
Magdalen is born amid a betrayal of her mother, who was French, to her father, who is English. Because of her illegitimacy, she is sent off and raised with supporters of he More...

I was in the mood for a romance, something I haven't read for a while, and I had this book sitting around so I decided to read it. If you like romances this is a good one, not exactly the typical historical romance and not predictable. Usually you pretty much know what is going to happen in these books before you start reading; it's not the outcome that we read these books for, we already know that, but for the experience getting there. This book was enjoyable because I was never quite sure if i

This book was pretty good. I'm not too fond of books done in this time period. But as far as that goes this is one of the best I've read that's written in this time frame.
The heroine in the book is a little hard to like but you eventually can feel for her and understand her point of view. That goes for the heros in this book as well.
All in all a good book.

This book was very well written. However, I found a lot lacking in the main character, Magdalen. I thought she was self absorbed and immature. I felt Edmund deserved more than he received. I read historical romance when I am in the mood for a happy ending and I didn't get that with this book.

I did not finish this book. It's well written but sort of a light, romance novel. There are other books I'd rather spend my time reading.

Like other reviews I've read I don't know how I feel about this. Predictable ending. Ended up skim reading thru more than I actually read as it wasn't all that interesting.

It wasn't bad. I'd give it 3.5 stars. Of course I knew how it would end, so that wasn't a surprise, but the rest of the book was fairly good.

I'm not sure. I enjoyed it. The ending is predictable. You know one of the men has to die and you know which one it'll be or true love wouldn't win. The first part of it kept me interested. At the end, the whole fight scene...I didn't read it word for word...as I knew the outcome.

I loved the characters especially the hero, Guy. The writing was a little frustrating because it was so wordy. Overall a lot of history and not enough romance.

Also truly awful--and I swear the person who wrote this book is not the same person who wrote the other Jane Feather I read.

Historical romance. Really like Feather's books for a light, passionate, entertaining read.

Really not sure how I feel about this book. I really liked the characters and the storyline but at the same time I really don't think I liked how Jane Feather writes.
