Book Description

Left nearly destitute by the French Revolution, former courtesan Claudia Valemont is forced to steal to survive. When she is caught, it's her own hangman who comes to her rescue-a mysterious savior who just might heal her wounded heart.

"A book to feast upon. Jack is one of the most unique-and intriguing-heroes in romance. He will most certainly steal your heart." (Patricia Potter)

From the Author

Hello There,

My name is Hope Tarr, and I hope you'll enjoy My Lord Jack. My Lord Jack is my second novel and the fourth book to roll out Jove's new Highland Fling line of Scottish set romances.

Despite his unusual er,... occupation, my hero Jack Campbell, is very much a hero after my heart. Like his creator (me!), Jack is a lifelong animal lover as well as a bit of an introvert. He also has the soul of a poet--and a heart of pure gold. When he sees the lovely young and obviously "foreign" Claudia being attacked by a group of tavern ruffians, he doesn't think so much as twice before coming to her rescue. That she "thanks" him by turning his well-ordered life upside down and then some sets the stage for what I hope you will find to be a rollicking good time in the Scotland of the late eighteenth century.Here's wishing you fairytale dreams -- and an endless supply of fabulous romance fiction,

Hope Tarr July 2002

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, unusual and poignant romance, Jan 6 2003

By

This review is from: My Lord Jack (Paperback)

What an interesting couple - he's an executioner; she's a refugee from the guillotine and revolutionary France.

Jack never intended to get involved with this woman or her problems but found himself speaking up for her when she is caught stealing a horse. Even worse, she is remanded to his custody for six months labor. Now he has to share his home and spend most everyday in her company. And this sentence also puts a crimp in Claudia's plans to find the father she never knew - a Scottish earl that may or may not know of her existence.

Claudia goes from pampered courtesan to working in a tavern. From fearing and loathing Jack and his profession to respecting and liking Jack the man. He surprises her in that he is actually very kind and gentle, an animal lover, a vegetarian and most unbelievably a virgin. He has vowed that he would never take a woman because of what happened to his mother - seduced and left to bear a child out of wedlock. But Claudia is quite a temptation for him. She's beautiful and resilient and he finds himself wanting her badly.

Though she had been the mistress of a guillotined French aristocrat for seven years, she knows little of love and tenderness - especially not from a man. But Jack's kind and gentle nature and handsome looks attract her as her former lover never did. They fall in love and then must face the villainous actions of Jack's half brother, his stepfather, not to mention Claudia's nefarious father. But love conquers all and Jack and Claudia are finally free to begin their lives anew.

A very sweet love story.
