5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! 30 Aug 2010
By CJ VINE™ VOICE
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm so happy I have discovered Carolyn Jewel's historicals. This is a really original story with a difference, complex characters and a hero to die for. The Earl of Banallt is an unreconstructed bad boy who meets our heroine, Sophie, in the middle of her disastrous marriage to one of his cronies. She was susceptible, very young and an heiress who stupidly falls for and then runs away with a handsome rake who is only after her money. Once married her husband abandons Sophie in the country and takes off back to London to spend her fortune. Occasionally he comes home bringing his friend Banallt with him. A devastated Sophie and Banallt form a very unlikely friendship during these visits and the Earl first of all desires her and then falls deeply in love with her. Some years later when they are both free of their marriages he seeks her out to propose but, quite understandably, she refuses to consider marriage to someone she thinks will be as unreliable as her former husband. There are loads of great secondary characters, it's quite a dark story in places but there is lots of emotional tension and some fantastically sensuous scenes between the two main characters. Carolyn Jewel's historical romances will be an auto buy for me from now on. Also highly recommend "Lord Ruin"; "Indiscreet" not so much but still quite good and looking forward to "The Spare" when it comes out in here in October this year.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly beautiful mature and memorable romance 8 Feb 2009
By K. Reinke - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is such a wonderful story, I felt compelled to weigh in...

I won't sum up the plot, which you can read in the synopsis and in the other reviews. What drew me in was the authors wonderful way with words, and her realistic characters! Both Sophie and Banalt were so memorable and TRUE.

Sophie is an eccentric bookworm and romantic. Against her very nature and instincts, constant betrayals by her first husband force her to raise a high wall around her heart. Her pain and strength are both palpable things in her life. Banalt is a rather typical, jaded, and yes - irredeemable - nobleman. However, his exposure to Sophie's innate strength, goodness, and "beautiful blue-green eyes", inspire a desire in him to become his better self. I felt that I knew them and was very invested in their lives and happiness. Ms. Jewel has done a marvelous job of showing and telling us about these two people. As readers, we understood their instincts, desires, and motivations. I was frequently moved to tears, on both their behalves, because I understood them.

The secondary characters were equally well and honestly portrayed. I will not soon forget Sophie's brother, John.

Bravo to wonderful characters and a wonderful story of second chances!

3.0 out of 5 stars A Hero Blindsided by Love 7 April 2009
By R. Phillips - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a story about a rake who falls in love with his best friend's wife. The problem is that she despises him. Over time, their friendship grows and he is overcome by his love for her. He is obsessed with her, and when she is widowed, he will do anything to win her love and respect. This is a good story with a heartfelt romance. The heroine's resistance did wear on me a little. It just seemed to go on and on and on, and consequently, made the heroine a bit annoying at times. However, it was nice to read about a hero who never gives up on the true love of his life. I agree that this story is very slow paced and I also agree that it was nice to finally read a HR without a murder plot driving it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read! 4 Feb 2009
By Cindylouwho - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I have to say this was a very, very good book, and only had some minor problems with it. In Jewel's attempt to take a scandal and tell it in a different way, BRAVO and Thank you! I felt this was a new story. When the book begins, we know Banallt is a rake, but yet his love for Sophie, having her or not, has already reformed him. He's smitten, ruined (his words), and utterly enchanted by Sophie's mind, heart and body. They meet under uncomfortable circumstances, but yet become friends while he is a friend of her husband's. In Private Arrangements, it annoyed me bouncing back and forth between present and past, but in this book, it was so enjoyable. You feel the build up of their relationship, and regardless of it starting out a bit slower than I like, it still worked well.

Ms. Jewel, please tell me there will be a story with Tallboys winning the heartbroken Miss Fidelia.
