Book Description

Jan 8 2004 Avon Romantic Treasure

Every woman has her Guilty Pleasures ...

For prim and shy Daphne Wade, the sweetest guiltypleasure of all is secretly watching her employer, the Duke of Tremore, as he works the excavation site on his English estate. Anthony hired Daphne to restore the priceless treasures he has been digging up, but it's hard for a woman to keep her mind on her work when her devastatingly handsome employer keeps taking his shirt off. He doesn't know she's alive, but who could blame her for falling hopelessly in love with him anyway?

Anthony thinks that his capable employee knows all there is to know about antiquities, but when his sister decides to turn the plain young woman in gold-rimmed glasses into an enticing beauty, he declares the task to be impossible. Daphne is devastated when she overhears ... and determined to prove him wrong. Now a vibrant and delectable Daphne has emerged from her shell, and the tables are turned. Will Anthony see that the woman of his dreams has been right there all along?

3.0 out of 5 stars Great beginning, boring ending Jun 22 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
What a wonderful set-up for a romance: Daphne, a plain bluestocking has an incredible crush on Anthony, the Duke, who doesn't even know she's alive. After overhearing Anthony's true feelings about her (or lack thereof), Daphne decides to quit working for him and become her own woman. Anthony then tries to convince her to stay, at first because he doesn't want to lose a good worker and then because he doesn't want to let her go. The set-up is wonderful and the first half zips along. The problem is that the book goes about 75 pages too long. It becomes very repetitive - Daphne plays hard to get to Anthony's wooing over and over. The wooing itself is repetitive and... kind of boring. I would have been much happier if there had been a swifter resolution to all of it. Instead, it just made me lose my interest entirely.

1.0 out of 5 stars Eh? May 30 2004
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Guess I was a little disappointed in the book. Read the description on the back, thought to take a chance. The book was tedious for the first 200 pages, from crushes to the temptation of rain to just being a teaser from both of the main characters. Then after the grand passion, the flower flirtation, dances and the rumour mill was a little tedious at times. Sorry, just couldn't dance to it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable Romance May 30 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Daphe is a 24 year old woman who had spent her life working with her archeologist father. When he dies, she is left with almost nothing. Her mother's family does not acknowldge her because her parents eloped and were not a suitable match. She returns to England to work with the Duke of Tremore in her fathers place and the romance begins. She hides behinda prim exterior. They both come from parents who were deeply in love and are afraid to love that deeply themselves. It was an enjoyable read. The characters were likeable and bright. Worth my time.
