Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Set in the Carolinas during the colonial period, this saucy Cinderella story concerns the unexpected seduction of a Methodist minister's plain and practical daughter. Susannah Redmond, who has sacrificed much of her youth to care for her otherworldly father and her three motherless younger sisters, buys an indentured prisoner named Ian to help with the heavy chores. When Ian washes and shaves his beard, Susannah finds (to her horror) that he's the devilishly handsome prince of her dreams. Though she fears he will seduce her innocent sisters, she is the one who loses her virginity and her heart to him. It turns out, of course, that Ian is actually the wealthy Marquis of Derne. When he returns to England to right the wrong done to him and recoup his title and riches, he takes the incredulous Susannah with him against her will. Amidst the glamour of London's high society, she realizes she has given her heart and her body to a man whose social standing is far above hers. Though she returns home to Beaufort, all ends happily in this lighthearted romance, which is sure to please readers who relish sexy period romps. Robards wrote This Side of Heaven.

From Kirkus Reviews

Hardcover debut for veteran romance-writer Robards--the titillating story, set in 1769 in the Carolinas, of a minister's daughter who falls in love with the indentured servant whom she's purchased. Susannah Redmon, a 26-year-old spinster who's spent the last dozen years acting as a mother to her three younger sisters and helping her widowed father run the family farm, decides to buy an indentured servant at a public auction. Her choice falls on Ian Connelly--filthy, starving, and suffering from repeated beatings; before he can work, Susannah must nurse him back to health. As she does, she discovers, of course, that he's devilishly handsome. Soon the formerly prim minister's daughter--in an engaging Lady Chatterley-like situation--is romping about with her bound man in a most unseemly fashion. But the plot becomes thinner and more strained when Susannah, having finally decided to marry Ian, discovers him missing from his room (left in terrifying disarray, including a bloodstained mattress). She spends weeks imagining the worst, and when she does find him--at a wharf in Charles Town-- she's so overcome that she faints. She wakes to find herself on board a ship bound for England. Turns out that Connelly is nothing less than a marquis, returning home to deal with the ``enemies'' (his stepmother and half-brother) who were responsible for his plight...though there are problems still to come before the predictable happy close. A fairly enjoyable romantic read--until that heavily contrived last third. -- Copyright ©1992, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Steamy!, Mar 30 2003

By	"cougarscheer8604" (Orange City, FL United States) - See all my reviews

This book was amazing after the first initial chapters. I drug myself throught the first 5 chapters. It starts out really boring and i wonder why my best friend is telling me to read it. Then, out of the blue, they're going at it like crazy! It's pretty steamy when it gets to the "intimate" parts. I completely recomend this one! Eventually you will feel like you are Suzanna and Ian has just swept you off of your feet. It's pretty good stuff!

P.S. This girl gets FREAKY!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful story, Jul 18 2002

By	Tanya L. Schaub "TSchlaack" (Livermore, Maine USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a story that is a bit different than the normal boy gets the girl. In this case the girl buys the boy. She buys a "bound man" to help out of the farm, in spite of someone else warning her about him being to dangerous. Well she gets more than she has bargened for (in the love dept.) and less in the farming department (he was a Marquis in England) thought I didn't understand all of the timing of the book. It was a very enjoyable read with a strong woman character who kept her strong personality and convictions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtaking Romance, Jul 12 2002

By	Reanad Marzouk (Cleveland, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews

I loved this book. I've read it twice, and I still cannot get over the incredible romance that Susannah and Ian share. I loved Susannah's family, and only hope that in the future, Karen Robards will revisit Susannah's sisters and write their stories of romance.

The intimate scenes between Ian and Susannah will take your breath away. The ending will make you smile and laugh, and the relationship between the two lovers will keep you in stitches of laughter and in near tears simultaneously. I recommend this book wholeheartedly. Read it and you'll know what I'm talking about.

2.0 out of 5 stars For un upgraded version, try "Dark Torment". Skip this one.
