Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Regency and historical romance devotees will find Johnston's (The Inheritance) latest lively and well-written, and her characters perfectly enchanting. Lady Charlotte Edgerton, Charlie to her friends, is an American fish who finds herself in stuffy English waters when her father dies and leaves her to the care of the Earl of Denbigh. Denbigh has two duties: to civilize Charlie and to find her a suitable husband-only it can't be him. Haunted by his fiancee's suicide, Denbigh mistrusts women. In spite of Charlotte's innocent appeal, he refuses to let himself become involved and tries his best to alienate her affections. But Charlotte?an American through and through?won't take no for an answer. An exciting secondary plot involving a duke bent on avenging his brother's murder by dishonoring Denbigh's sister adds an element of mystery.

Product Description
She was a gorgeous rebel.
Defying all the rules, daring to speak her mind, Charlotte Edgerton declared her independence before she even entered the Earl of Denbigh's home. Her new guardian immediately made her a prisoner in her own room—until she agreed to learn the lady-like arts. Furious, she complied. Anything to buy her freedom from Denbigh. She's even marry a man she didn't love to get away from her domineering guardian. In fact, love was the furthest thing from her mind...
He was the Earl who vowed to tame her.
Lionel Morgan, Earl of Denbigh, had been betrayed at the altar by another woman and vowed that no female would ensnare him again. Then Charlotte Edgerton burst into his life. Denbigh wasn't prepared for this headstrong American—or the passions she inspired on first sight. He knew only that he had to civilize her, present her at court, and Almack's, and then marry her off to the highest bidder. It wasn't until he nearly lost her that he realized the truth: She'd somehow reversed their roles and become the captor of his heart.

WONDERFUL!,
By Cindy Fegan (Plymouth MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Captive (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was a good read. True, you could usually figure out the plot, but so what. Do we ever really not know how the romance novel will end? If you're looking for suspense read a mystery. If your looking to be swept away into a world of Sexy excitment, humor and true love, You'll like this one. Also try Anything, My Love" by Cynthia Simmons. A real page turner and a hero you won't forget.

First in Captive Series,
By Stacy Wallace (Lumberton, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Captive (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was delightful. I fully enjoyed Charlotte's outspoken frankness and her views on equalality among everyone. She helped the Earl of Denbigh shed his much too stuffy attitude. And she helped heal his heart from a disasterious courtship from an unfortunate victim. I do so hope that the rest in this quartet series are as enjoyable as this one.

Enjoyable and funny,

This was the first book by Joan Johnston that I had read that wasn't in the Silhouette or Harlequin line and I was pleasently surprised. An interesting premise and I loved Charlotte. She was headstrong and not afraid of doing what she wanted. I also enjoyed the other small stories that Ms. Johnston incorporates into her books. Go out and find the others in this line. You won't be dissapointed.
