the heroine, rosalind is the typical strong independent female who looks after her family and will do anything for them, but would also like to pursue her dream of going into acting and the theatre, like her mother. sadly her father, the earl, is dying and as he has no sons the estate is entailed to a relation, griff knighton.
griff has worked his way from pauper to rich man.
when he is summoned to the estate of the earl with a disagreeble proposal he trades places with daniel, his second in command (and hero of a notorious love). which leads to some genuinely funny scenes.
both the hero and heroine are well written and enjoyable and deserve each other completely. jefferies writes well and draws you effortlessly into the book and the lives of griff and rosalind.
it is a must for any fan of the writer or romance itself. i found myself laughing out loud and crying in parts and when i finished it was with a sigh and an eager anticipation for the next in the series. i would definitly recommend this book.
Now we have the heroine - a bit long in the tooth - known to be one of the three Swanlea Spinsters - Rosalind to be exact - the middle sister - but with a vast difference for most heroines - she is not this tiny, petite, svelte, wisp of a girl! What Rosalind is is an opinionated, tall, sturdy, voluptuous Amazon - you've got to love this! She senses, that all is not right with this `man of affairs' and decides to stick to him like glue after she caught him rifling through her father's desk at night. Now the fun begins!
Between the double entendres, and the insults the fact remains that Rosalind has this amazing attraction for Griff that he finds extremely hard to control. First of all, he can't seem to control his nether regions when around Rosalind so he feels he must shock her with his risqué allusions to some of Shakespeare's more bawdy dialogs. (And might I say that until reading this novel, I have now come to appreciate Shakespeare all that much more myself!)
This was so much fun to read! I absolutely loved both the main players of this novel. They were vibrant and really came to life under the direction of Ms. Jeffries. The sex was so hot to make you burn - the laughs had me wiping my eyes and holding my stomach - and the love story itself was precious! Griff's preoccupation with proving his legitimacy and furthering his company was uppermost in his mind. No matter how great the passion he still had to recognize the most precious thing of all - his heart had been missing until Rosalind helped him find it. This was a wonderful `feel good' sexy love story!
Rosalind's love for Griff survives even the shock of discovering that he has been masquerading as his man of his affairs. But how can she marry a man who is planning to destroy her family? Although she realizes that it is her father's dishonorable deed that was responsible for molding Griff's character, she can't bring herself to marry such a man...no matter how much she loves and desires him.
By the time Griff realizes that nothing matters to him except his love for Rosalind, she has fled and it may be too late to convince her of his sincerity. Once he finds her, what can he do to prove to her that he has put aside his plans for revenge once and for all?
WOW! This book is a rare page-turner, indeed! Rosalind is a strong woman committed to the welfare of her family. Griff is a bitter man who realizes that none of it matters but his love for Rosalind. Very emotional + very sensual = very enjoyable for this new Sabrina Jeffries fan!
