Product Description
A child bride, Sara Winchester had grown into a winsome beauty, joyfully anticipating the day when her husband Nathan, Marquess of St. James, would return to claim her at last. Charmingly innocent, she dismissed the ancient feud that divided her and Nathan's families... and she was totally unaware of his past exploits as the notorious pirate, Pagan. The man who now stood before her was perplexing, arrogant and powerfully handsome... a warrior-gentleman whose gentle touch aroused her to the wildest, deepest pleasures of love. Nathan had never bared his soul to any woman, but he was soon utterly beguiled and exasperated by Sara's sweet, defiant ways. Aboard his ship, The Seahawk, she was brave, imperious and determined to win his heart completely... yet upon their return to England, her love would be sorely tested as a most desperate conspiratcy sundered them from one another. Now, as their future trembled in the balance, they would discover the true destiny of their passion... for all time!

One of a series of novels with related characters set in the regency period, 'The Gift' follows Sara and Nathan as they come to terms with their marriage, while the 'gift' and the past threatens to tear them apart. It was a marriage enforced by the mad king George to unite two warring families. On board his ship Sara is determined to give Nathan her love and to gain his in return. Creating as many amusing disasters along the way as the author can contrive. I enjoyed this book Garwood is particularly good at sketching amusing and indearing characters and her hero is as sexy as you could wish for. I must however admit to a continual feeling of irratation with the book. I realise this is not high litrature and has no pretentions towards being so, but i feel that it has some glaring problems which cannot be ignored. Garwood does not ground her story in her period, a result, i should think of insufficiant research . It is a lively read, however i did not feel i was in regency london but rather modern America transposed upon a vagely historical back drop. It did not help that the heroine Sara constantly ordered people to 'quit' doing things rather than 'stop' them and the vocabulary in general was that of modern america rather than a London of any period let alone the one Garwood was attempting to portray. I think unless Garwood takes more time with her historical research she should stick with contempory settings.
Having had this gripe i must admit that the book held me glued. For pure escapeism it is a delight. Fun, sexy and light harted i would recomend it to any romance reader. While the author could learn from the likes of Georgette Heyer in historical detail her characters lack nothing and are just as adorable.

I must admit, I am an avid Julie Garwood fan. This book certainly reached the standards of excellence she has upheld in all her books.
A 'gift' given with so many different meanings. The gifts of love, laughter, marriage and life. A child bride hopefully awaiting the day when her husband would return to rescue her. His arrival catching her unprepared.
She is willing to be the loving and 'loved' wife. He is aiming for an heir and a prize. What he finds is more than he could ever have bargained for! A fiesty, beautiful woman who selflessly gives him what he never thought he wanted or needed - love. With characters that capture you and spine-tingling humour, you'll be laughing until you draw tears.
An enjoyable read from start to finish, you won't be able to put it down.
