If you've read my past reviews, then you know that I love Sabrina Jeffries's work. I fall into every world she writes and I haven't read a book by her that I've yet to like.

At first, I thought it was going to be a normal mistaken identity turn love affair novel, but this one is much more than that. Hidden love affairs, black mail, spying and even possible death. It was filled with twists and hidden agendas, I was up most sitting up reading in my bed.

This is the middle book in the Lord trilogy, and, like the other two, it's a bit of a romp, with occasional interludes of character development revealing painful histories and inner emotions. A fun read largely because SJ does such a good job building the ever-intensifying sexual attraction between Jordan and Em(ma)ily. There are evil, scheming relatives and unsuitable suitors all over the place getting in the way of the HEA, but there is connection and chemistry to get them past these obstacles...more

I love Jordan since book 1, mostly because his interaction with his sister, Sara, who is the heroine of book 1. So I've been waiting for Jordan's book the minute I was finished with The Pirate Lord.

I think Emily is adorable and she's perfect for Jordan. Their meeting in chapter 1 is also a great start. Their second meeting is also exhilarating and makes my toes curl. This could get 4 stars, but some things really bugged me, namely the inconsistency. (view spoiler)...more

Jarang karakter heroine HR yang seperti ini. Salut untuk sifatnya ini.
Sedangkan untuk Jordan, man I love him! Dia adalah seorang pria yang berkuasa, pemimpin yang banyak akal. Dia akan melakukan apapun demi keinginannya terkabul--tapi dia harus menahan diri saat benar-benar dirinya menginginkan Emily untuk menjadi miliknya. Lalu aku melihat sisi 'manusia' dari para hero di HR ini darinya, ternyata pria tampan, berkuasa, juga manusia dengan apa yang ia pikirkan. Yah begitulah.
Ahh~ two of them...
–––------––-–––––--------–––
Jordan adalah seorang Earl of Blackmore yang sangat berkuasa, semua orang sangat menghormatinya dan segan padanya. Kecenderungannya yang menyukai janda dan wanita sensual membuatnya bertemu dengan takdirnya.
Emily datang ke sebuah pesta topeng dengan sepupunya untuk memberikan sesuatu untuk sahabatnya, sayangnya--atau untungnya (pada akhirnya)--ia menemukan sang Earl sebagai sepupunya yang mengantarnya pulang.
Dua bulan kemudian, takdir mempertemukan mereka kembali. Namun dalam samaran Emly sebagai Lady Emma yang sangat suka melanggar peraturan dan liar. Jordan yang dapat mengenali Emily memutuskan untuk membuat Emily buka mulut mengenai penyamarannya tak peduli Emily yang bersekeras--berusaha--untuk tidak memedulikannya.

Aku sudah menduga 'jawaban' dari misteri ini, sudah punya dugaan dan ternyata dugaanku ini benar. Yeah!

The story starts during a country mask ball. The heroine/Emily mistakenly tells a mask man (she thinks is her cousin she came with) to take her home. She is dressed in a black gown because she has been in morning for her mother for the last year. The masked man is the Earl of Blackmore and he only has interludes with willing widows and women with experience. He thinks she wants a daliance with him. He leaves in a hurry with her. Once they are in the coach things start to unravel. He finds out he is alone with a virgin. She quotes scripture to him and tells him she is a rectors daughter. He is so surprised! He is livid!! First he thinks she's trying to trap him but then he realizes it's been a big innocent mistake. He asked her to take off her mask so he can see her face. He thinks she's beautiful and even kisses her. They both manage to get out of this situation without being caught.

The next scene Emily is being summoned to her friends house by her friends father, Lord Nesfield (a marquess). He is her father's Lord and provides for his living as a rector. A mean selfish man who uses his power for his own benifit. He blackmails Emily into posing as his neice,....Lady Emma who is visiting with her mother (his sister) from Scotland. She is to be his spy and find out who tried to elope with Sophie (her friend). Poor Sophie has been sent away to Scotland to hide her from the rogue who wanted to elope with her. Emily has to attend many balls and functions so she can mingle with the ton. She has no trouble with the ton accepting her because no one has ever met her before....except...Jordan, the Earl of Blackmore. He is the fly in the ointment. Through out the book Jordan keeps questioning Emily. He keeps telling her she IS Emily and NOT Emma. He chases her from one function to the other.

It's a wonderful story and I fell in love with the character Jordan. He is so caring toward Emily. It's a wonderful ride to Emily and Jordan's HEA! I highly recommend this fun book!!! (less)

Lanjut dari Ending buku 1, Pesta topeng di kediaman Gideon, si Marquest eh masih Earl ding ya secara bapaknya masih hidup.
Emily Fairchild, putri seorang pendeta, datang mengenakan pakaian serba hitam yang menandakan bahwa dia sedang dalam masa berkabung, bukan.. dia bukan seorang janda, Emily berkabung untuk kematian ibunya. Emily datang kepesta tersebut untuk mengantarkan ramuan untuk Sophie teman baiknya sekaligus putri seorang Marquest yg sangat menyebalkan dan melarang mereka b2 berteman. Emily datang bersama sepupunya Lawrence *ah gw lupa tulisannya* dan mempunyai perawakan serta gaya seperti Earl of Blackmore. Selain karena Emily sendiri belum pernah bertemu Jordan Earl of Blackmore, cahaya di ruang dansa itu temaram, jadi dengan entengnya Emily mengajak pulang Jordan yg dikira Lawrence.

*aneh banget dah bahasa review ku, ah bodo deh*

Jordan Earl of Blackmore, biasa selalu dikejar-kejar para debutan dan sangat menghindari tipu daya mereka. Ibu Jordan seorang wanita licik, tetapi sangat cantik mengejar ayah Jordan Earl of Blackmore senior dan menjebak nya untuk sebuah pernikahan dan setelah itu, byur!! Ibu Jordan menyesal dan Earl Senior juga menyesal, jadilah Jordan sebagai anak yg merasa dipersalahkan. Dan Jordan bersumpah tidak akan melakukan hal yang sama *tertipu dan terperdaya serta terjebak* seperti ayahnya. Jadi ketika seorang wanita mengenakan baju berkabung mengajaknya meninggalkan pesta, sama sekali tak pernah terpikir bahwa lady tersebut bukan lah seorang janda.

Tetapi tidak terjadi apa-apa, ya cuma kissu2 dikit doang *dtabokin*

Beberapa Bulan kemudian, di London seorang lady bernama Emma *aku lupa nama belakangnya* putri seorang Earl dengan wajah persis seperti Emily-nya melakukan debut dan bertingkah laku sebagai penggoda. Dan Jordan, dengan rasa penasaran dan posesif mulai memburu Lady Emma serta alasan dibalik semua penyamaran tersebut.
seru tarik ulurnya kwkwkwkw.... (less)

Jordan is Sara's brother and I did appreciate how this book literally "picks up right where the Pirate Lord ended". This is really where my appreciation ends.

Jujurlah walau sepahit apapun itu. Buku ini mengangkat tema kepercayaan dan keterbukaan dalam hal ini antara ayah dan anak. Seandainya ada kejujuran diantara mereka pemerasan yg terjadi pada Emily pastinya tak akan terjadi (lah entar gak ada cerita donk...).
Paling tidak suka dengan politikus yg menggunakan kekuasaannya dan sedikit info yg dipunyainya untuk memanipulasi orang orang yg lemah terutama pada gadis lugu dan polos seperti dalam cerita satu ini.

Jordan Willis, Earl of Blacmore adalah politikus yg perhatian terhadap kesusahan /kesulitan masyarakat rendah. Bujangan tampan yg selalu menggoda janda janda maupun wanita berpengalaman. Harus bertekuk lutut pada seorang gadis polos dan lugu karena salah mengira kalau gadis itu adalah janda yg sedang berkabung disebuah kereta sepulang pesta topeng.

Emily Fairchild, gadis cantik dan baik hati yg memiliki keahlian dibidang obat obatan. Menyimpan rasa bersalah pada diri sendiri yg menyebabkan kematian ibunya yg sakit parah. Saat Sahabat baiknya Sophie berniat kawin lari namun gagal, Emily harus menyamar sebagai sepupu Sophie untuk mencari keterangan siapa pria yg berniat melarikan Sophie. Semula Emily tak bersedia namun ayah Sophie, Lord Nestfield mengancam akan membuka rahasia Emily dan menggantung Emiliy karena membunuh ibunya sendiri.

Sebagai Lady Emma Campbel putri Lady Dundee yg memiliki karakter yg bertolak belakang dengan karakter Emily, Emili harus menjadi gadis skotlandia yg bebas dan menggoda. Emma harus mendekati beberapa pria yg dicurigai dan salah satunya adalah Ian Lennard, sahabat Jordan. Namun sayang Jordan yg tak dapat melupakan Emily mengenali Lady Emma sebagai Emily sang putri rektor, gadis yg ditemuinya dimalam pesta topeng.

Untuk meyakinkan dirinya sendiri dan sahabatnya, Jordan berusaha membuka kedok Emma dengan cara merayu Emma. Bukannya mundur setelah mengetahui identitas Emma yg sebenarnya adalah Emily, Jordan malah ingin mengetahui alasan Emily melakukan penyamaran. Dan Jordan yakin kalau Lord Nestfield dan Ldy Dundee melakukan pemerasan terhadap Emily.

Takut Jordan yg akan berkonfrontasi dengan Lord Nestfield, Emily mendatangi Jordan dan rela menyerahkan dirinya untuk satu malam kepada Jordan dengan janji Jordan tak akan menggali informasi dari lord Nestfield.

Sadar telah merenggut keperawaan Emily, Jordan berusaha memperbaiki kesalahan dengan berniat menikahi Emily dan mengembalikan Emily kepada ayahnya di desa. Setiba dirumah, Emily mengetahui bahwa sepupunyalah yg ingin kawin lari bersama Sophie. Emily juga akhirnya berterus terang pada ayahnya dan sang ayah yg juga seorang pastur tidak ingin ada kebohongan lagi, bersama Emili pergi kerumah Lord Nestfield untuk menyelesaikan keadaan dan permasalahan yg telah terjadi.

Mendengar kabar kalau Emily dan ayahnya menemui Lord Nestfield, Jordan yg sudah mengetahui duduk permasalahan dari Lady Dundee dan pelayan setianya, bersama Ian dan Lady Dundee segera bergabung untuk menyelamatkan hidup dan reputasi Emily. Ayah Emily akhirnya mengakui kebenaran bahwa keponakannyalah pria yg dicari Lord Nestfield dan fakta bahwa ibu Emily yg mati bunuh diri. Dasar politikus jahat, sudah tahu kalah dan salah masih mau mengancam reputasi keluarga Emiliy. Tapi berkat ancaman Jordan dan Lady Dundee yg sayang pada Emily, Lord Nestfield harus rela mengikuti skenario yg tidak mempermalukan dan menyakiti siapapun. Dan Jordan dan Emilypun akhirnya dapat bebas menunjukan perasaan mereka kepada satu sama lain.

This is the second book in a loosely-linked trilogy. It stands alone well.

If the previous book subverted the pirate romances, this one is a send-up of the subgenre I think of as "disguised debutante". For some reason, our heroines have to conceal their actual identity and enjoy themselves at a come-out, but accidentally fall in love with the usually-rakish lord. The plot of this one is more than ordinarily complicated and hilarious, because our rector's daughter is forced by circumstances to pre...more

Essentially this book contained every aspect of historical romance novels that I love- or any good book for that matter. The pacing of a novel are very important in my opinion, because if they are not on point, a story can often have dry or dull spells within the story. Such was not the case for The Forbidden Lord. In its own way, the story read almost like a suspense in that I was constantly wondering "when will Jordan find out the truth?" or "what will Lord Nesfield do next?!" This really went well with keeping the story's momentum on the up swing! Every scene, every character's actions and words helped build upon the next and worked together to advance the story. While this may seem formulaic on the surface, it very much isn't and is necessary in structuring a wonderful story. Because of this, my interest in learning what would finally happen between Jordan and Emily never, ever waned.

I was also very impressed with Jeffries' ability to write fascinating characters. Aside from creating an adorably lovable heroine in Emily and a compelling and interesting hero in Jordan, I was also quite a bit shocked to discover this authors talent in writing all around excellent secondary characters, such as Lady Dundee, Lawrence, Ian, Sophie, Polluck and the rector Edmund. At no point did any of the above, including the main characters, feel flat, or rather one dimensional. It may be a bit of a cliche but I can honestly say that, based on The Forbidden Lord, Sabrina Jeffries has the unique talent of "breathing life" into the stars of her stories!

Jordan is undoubtedly very much an "alpha hero," whose views of the world and people are slightly jaded, but built upon an understandable foundation. I must note, too, that I found the moment when Emily, towards the end of the novel, challenged Jordan's views on love to be very well written, specifically as a result of Jordan's parent's marriage. The realization Emily makes about this was very well structured, and entirely insightful. (In order to really understand that, one must read the book, of course.) And yet, even still, because of our hero's flaws, I still couldn't help but love him!

Emily herself I loved, too! Her innocence and love for people was a powerful element to romantic story between Jordan and herself. Her persona and character were written in such a way as to be refreshing and innocent, without being over the top or nauseatingly sweet. She was also a very, very strong heroine. Her strength of heart and determination in the face of her adversary all throughout the story made her very admirable, and as a result I loved her just as much as I did Jordan.

I also found the plot and themes in the novel undeniably unique and enjoyable! Not only do I love the classic "innocent-heroine-tempts-experienced-and-love-hating-hero" theme, but I found the way in which this author carried that theme inside the book's plot very compelling! The plot in and of itself is unique, too, with Emily having to pull off a rather complicated masquerade in London and pretend to be someone she most undoubtedly is not. Her reasons for doing so, and the underlying storyline behind those reasons, I can't delve into without entering into Spoiler Land. Even still, I loved the push-and-pull feel of the romantic relationship between Jordan and Emily. The two were a match made in literary heaven and they are, until my memory forgets otherwise, my most favorite historical romance couple thus far!

I highly- highly- recommend this book to anyone who loves an all around good historical romance story! Lovable characters, fascinating plot, wonderfully well written, great attention to detail in the setting- topped off with an excellent ending! In short, a damned good book!(less)
