Product Description
From Amazon
Readers who pick up this Virginia Henley who are simply looking for a bawdy read may be disappointed. This is an artfully crafted, beautifully written revenge romance that offers the complexity of all human relationships: political, espousal, and familial. On second thought, maybe they won't be disappointed as Virginia's books never fail to titillate and this one certainly achieves that--at the very least.

From Library Journal
Another in this romance author's best-selling tradition, full of the obligatory scandals, violent earls, and headstrong beauties.

A little dark.,
By
This review is from: Dream Lover (Paperback)
I remember liking Virginia Henley's books, but I don't remember them being so dark. The main character was bent on revenge throughout most of the book and it was a little depressing. I can understand his reasons but it just wasn't fun to watch (read about ) him manipulate a young woman who had nothing to do with his unfortunate circumstances. Thank goodness it was a happy ending, but it wasn't always a fun ride.

Sizzling!!!,
By R SMITH (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dream Lover (Paperback)
I will admit that this novel is borderline "trashy" but I am telling you that this is one of the best romances I have read in a long time!! Henley totally shines in this book by coupling revenge themes with romance, intrigue, and great characterization. This is my all time favorite raunchy novel!! Hats off to Henley!!

This review is from: Dream Lover (Paperback)
For Virginia Henley, these love scenes are a little tame. However, those same scenes may be too descriptive or unconventional for readers who aren't used to her style. I like the way the love story started. I think they both must have fallen in love at first sight. My main wish is that Sean had kidnapped Emerald before her wedding. I know her marriage was an unhappy one that had nothing to do with love, but this book would have been just as good without the adultery aspect. The characters were likeable. Though some very sad events occur, it's a very good book.
