Product Description

From Booklist

After her mother dies, Sapphire leaves Martinique and travels to England with her adopted sister and godmother to find the Earl of Wessex, whom Sapphire has just discovered is her real father. But the earl is dead, and a distant cousin, the American Blake Thixton, has inherited the title. Convinced that Sapphire is nothing more than a fortune hunter, Blake refuses to honor her claim. To force Blake and her English relatives into acknowledging her, Sapphire agrees to her godmother's outrageous plan that the three of them pretend to be in the market for protectors. Sapphire never expected that Blake would then offer her a position as his mistress or that she would be sorely tempted to accept. Rogers' legion of readers will be delighted to find that her latest historical romance features the same brand of arrogant, bold, and sexy hero; stubborn, beautiful, and unconventional heroine; and passionate plot that first made this genre wildly popular in the early 1980s.

4.0 out of 5 stars Liked it!!!, Aug 7 2009
Sincerely, I really liked this book, there are some "minus" but for me the "pluses" outnumber them.
First of all I have to admit that there are some things I didn't like like the fact that as far as Sapphire begins her trip toward England, she completely forgets about the man who grew her, who considered her father for 20 years, in favor of her real father. From that moment she considers herself only as the daughter of a noble, and not of the hard-worker man who has been her father for 20 years.... So all the parts in the book, when she repeats that she can't be anybody's mistress because she is the daughter of Lord Wessex are very annoying! Come on, you know that you are a lady since one month and you already act so uppity! Besides, you are a well-bred and educated girl, grew up in a respectable family, you shouldn't consider to be a mistress also for this simple fact!
I also add that I disliked a lot the other characters like her sister and her godmother. I almost skipped the parts when they were the only ones present because they were too annoying.
And yes, the hero is really stubborn, too stubborn that you almost would like to slap him!
Apart from that I liked a lot the interaction between the hero and heroine, so much that these scenes amend to all the drawbacks I found in the book. The love scenes are really steamy!!!!
I appreciated the fact that the heroine abandons the hero, for a while! At last, in one of the many romances I read, I found an heroine who decides to leave the "source of her misery" and try to go on with her life without him! Of course, Sapphire is not the only heroine I read leaving her lover/husband/etc. but nonetheless she is one of the rare who instead of complaining, brooding, screaming, she just leaves him, without a goodbye and taking nothing from him! Well, in this, I think she is a quite modern character and in that moment I appreciated Sapphire a lot.
As usual, being a Rogers' book, I had difficulties in putting it down. I like a lot almost all the ones she has written, they are so all-involving that I would like to have more time to keep reading them! And for me "Sapphire" is no difference, I was really taken by the story!
