Product Description

Product Description

All of England rejoiced on her wedding day. But Judith vowed that her husband would get only what he took from her!

At the flower-bedecked altar, the first touch of their hands ignited an all-consuming passion. Gavin Montgomery looked deep into her golden eyes and burned with desire for her...but his heart had been pledged to another.

Humiliated and alone in a strange castle, Judith resolved to hate this husband who took her body, but rejected her love...never admitting her fear of losing him.

But destiny held another fate for Judith...a fate that would keep at last...The Velvet Promise.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible writing, Jun 29 2004
By Steph (Indianapolis, IN, USA) - See all my reviews
I've given Jude Deveraux many chances and have come up disappointed and dissatisfied each time. I read Remembrance, The Duchess, and A Knight in Shining Armor before picking up Velvet Promise at the bookstore. And after reading it, I've come to the conclusion that I simply do not like Jude Deveraux. Velvet Promise contains all the elements I've detested in her the previous works I've read, leading me to the conclusion that each Jude Deveraux book I read was not simply "not her best," but a trend in her writing. Her writing style is childish, and the simplistic sentence structures are boring and do not lend to the sense of passion and feeling a romance novel should emit. I couldn't get into the characters at all - Gavin was childish, as was Judith, and Alice, well, she was too over-the-top as the jealous ex-girlfriend villan. The story was so uninteresting that I almost didn't finish it because I found myself not caring one bit what happened to any of the characters.

This is the end of my trial of Jude Deveraux. If you want to read some fast paced, fun, interesting romances with great dialogue and intreging characters and storylines, try anything by Judith McNaught, Julia Quinn, Suzanne Enoch, or Stephanie Laurens.

5.0 out of 5 stars My absolute favorite series!, April 6 2004
By B. Ramsey (USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I absolutly loved this series. All the characters were so vibrant and realistic it was hard not to fall in love with them. No one wants to read about a character who is boring and plain, this is why I love Jude Deveraux. She never lets you down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best love, April 2 2004
By A Customer
I loved this book. I read many different books. This by far is my all time favorit. Jude Deveraux is one of my favorite romance writers I have run into. I have read it three times and am starting on a fourth. Judith becomes so real before you know it all her sorrows and joys are yours . I cryed over this book more every time I read it. This a masterful tale that will draw you in and never let go. Gavin is a little bit of all men sweet with a lot of pain ,anger,hate,and ,lust. May I also suggest the othere Montgomery novels... Highland Velvet, Velvet Song,Velvet Angel, And The Black Lyon which has a surprising connection to the Montgomery novels
