Hold this One in your Hands to Re-read Again and Again,

This review is from: Dangerous to Hold (Mass Market Paperback)
Fiery haired Catherine Courtnay, independent, brave, and often times foolhardy knew when she ventured into an area known for housing the demimonde, that it was dangerous but that did not frighten her, she was armed and she was also determined. However, being accosted by the infamous Earl of Wrotham who accused her of being his missing wife -that shook her to the depths of her soul. As cool as could be with a tongue-lashing he would not forget, Marcus Lytton was assured that this prim and proper lady was nothing like his missing wife Catalina - although the resemblance was remarkable. After several attempts had been made on his life, Marcus offered Catherine a sum of money and convinced her to play the part of his wife, in order to draw out his missing bride. Marcus was convinced Catalina had to be the one instigating the attempts on his life. Catherine agreed, not for the money, although Marcus would not know this - but because in actuality she was the missing Catalina. She had been a British agent fighting alongside the partisian in Spain when she had fallen in love with the handsome, gallant Captain Marcus during the war. It was upon the discovery that he was the Earl of Wrotham that she thought to punish him. She had always believed that he had been the one who had ruined her sister and thought the rake was trifling with her feelings. She had tricked him into marriage thinking that he would have it annulled as soon as he returned to England. After spending time with him she did come to the conclusion that he could not have raped her sister. Catherine hated that she felt such desire for him and wanted to end the charade as soon as possible before he discovered her secrets and betrayals. Now, it seemed, Catherine's life was in danger as well. As their passions raged, the danger to them both increased as the betrayals began to mount into an explosive and dangerous conclusion. Once again, I have had the good fortune to pick up another super good historical romance book by this author. Smoldering passion, unbelievable and non-stop action with numerous interesting and colorful secondary characters - basically another complete read with a new and refreshingly great plot! This author has never failed to keep me on the edge of my seat holding my breath with either suspense or the exquisite sensual imagery that she so capably writes. All her books are keepers for me!

YOU'LL HOLD ONTO THIS BOOK TO READ AGAIN,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dangerous to Hold (Mass Market Paperback)
Wow! A heroine who really can take care of herself and doesn't need a hero to rescue her. But take heart, ET works our hero into the story and all is well. Another original plot. Another prologue that grabs you. Good secondary characters. Another great one from ET. If you haven't read her books, you will be thrilled with all of them.

Average,

This review is from: Dangerous to Hold (Mass Market Paperback)
The plot of this book had great potential, but in my opinion it was never fully realized. The characters where well developed and the writing was good, but the story just never grabbed my attention. It actually took me a few days to finish this book and that is very unusual for me. I would still recommend reading it, just don't expect too much.
