Linda Winstead Jones Devlin Fallon...,
By Reader in Texas "Reader in Texas" (Arlington, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: DeButy And the Beast: (Mass Market Paperback)
Whatever pen name Linda uses, her books have ALL been awesome! No Angel's Grace is my favorite, Chase the Lightning second, and this is my third favorite - doesn't mean it doesn't rate five stars - it just means that she's such a fabulous author it's hard to judge! AND, this rating does NOT include her Linda Fallon or her Linda Devlin books... they're so grand I have 3-way ties for my favorite books from her! Buy this book. Read it, and keep it to read again and again!

This review is from: DeButy And the Beast: (Mass Market Paperback)
Twelve years ago Anya Sedley was thought dead in the shipwreck that took the lives of her parents. However, she managed to find haven on the Caribbean Island of Puerta Sirena where the ragtag locals treated her as a Love Goddess. Anya returned to North Carolina high society, but has had trouble readjusting. Having run through a chain of tutors, governesses, and companions, she has earned the reputation as the Beast of Rose Hill. Her desperate grandmother wants Julian DeButy to "tame" and marry Anya.Julian tries to teach the wild and spirited Anya how to behave in polite company. However, Anya plans to provide him special sexual lessons in her bed. As they battle for the role of teacher, they fall in love. However, Anya does not trust those feelings and Julian is bewildered by his needs for her that go contrary to his vow of celibacy. DEBUTY & THE BEAST is an engaging early Americana romantic romp that will delight sub-genre fans with the antics of the lead female character. The story line is filled with plenty of humor, a bit of pathos, and some action. Julian is a wonderful protagonist struggling between his belief that celibacy equates to good health vs. his overwhelming desire to make love with Anya. The support cast provides a feel for the era, insight into the prime couple, and the impetus for the action. However, Linda Jones' tale belongs solely to the feral heroine who the audience will adopt as a favorite. Harriet Klausner
