Product Description

Jude Deveraux brings her bestselling Montgomery family to America...with a marvelous new heroine!

With the blazing spirit of a true Montgomery, heiress Christian Montgomery Mathison bravely defies the two men who abduct her. Forced into the primitive rain forests of the Washington Territory, she is swept into a thrilling adventure. Amid schemes of greed and intrigue, the bold beauty resists the wooing of one captor, and uses all her whiles to entice the other, the mysterious Tynan...a dark, fatally handsome man who desires her...but who must refuse her love at all costs! --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

1.0 out of 5 stars Big Disappointment, Jun 10 2004
By Melissa McCauley (North Little Rock, AR) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Temptress (Mass Market Paperback)
Not at all up to par of Jude Devereaux's other books. I had wished she would write more books with a Montgomery woman as the protagonist, but this is definitely not it. Just plain bad, with shallow characters, and none of the humor that I love in her other books

2.0 out of 5 stars disappointing, Dec 3 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Temptress (Mass Market Paperback)
I found the story somewhat boring. Having two men in practically every scene, I found distracting. It seemed forced. Not nearly as enjoyable as some of her other books.

This is one to skip.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not like her others, but still a good read, Sep 17 2002
By allie-kat (N.B., Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Temptress (Mass Market Paperback)
I have to say that when I first began to read this book, I almost immediately took a dislike to it. I am so used to the usual way that Jude writes and this was not it. Tynan and Chris have this amazing heat when he abducts her. She almost seems to enjoy his touching and caressing... That just doesn't seem realistic to me. During an abduction fear or terror would be more seemly. The characters sometimes didn't seem real and there was really not too much romance in the book. I never sensed true sexual tension between them or much love either. It had a good story plot though where action is concerned. It was a quick and easy read and I did like the ending. I'm a huge fan of Jude Deveraux's and I have never rated her below a 4... but this book really is more of a 3 to me. For classic Jude, check out her other books first such as The Princess, The Conquest, Knight in Shining Armor, etc. This one might discourage you from reading more of her.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun-filled adventurous romance
I really enjoyed this book. This story was more light-hearted than other Jude Deveraux books, but that's how some of her stories are. Some are more emotional than others. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars A western that would make a great movie.
It was hard to get a picture of the character's in your mind. Although I liked the story, I really enjoy reading Deveraux historical novels instead. Read more
