Product Description
Product Description
Wild as a pagan goddess, Lady Summer galloped her stallion along the Cornish coast. She had dabbled in the smuggler's game to save her family estate, but a wealthy marriage would better serve her purpose now. Lord Ruark Helford seemed the answer to her reckless prayers. But as his hot, hungry kisses drew her toward deception and irresistible acts of love, she had to hesitate. Would this arrogant, handsome lord be her ticket to heaven--or hell?

If you like hot sizzling love scenes and leading characters larger than life then this one is for you. It definately is not for the faint hearted! However, having said that I enjoyed the book immensley. There was lots going on and I felt it was most definately a book of three thirds. The first being the calm before the storm when Ruark and Summer fell in love, the middle being the turbulent storm of their relationship and finally finding each other and realising they were bound together for all eternity. I like to read a book that takes me away from reality and plunges me into a world of vibrant history, heros and heroines. This one did it for me!

After reading the reviews posted here, I took a chance and tried this book -- not expecting much. Well, was I in for a pleasant surprise! This is one of the most enjoyable historical romance novels I've read in years. From their first meeting, the sparks flew and it was obvious Summer and Ruark were a perfect match for each other. The problem is, both were too stubborn to admit it to each other. I was totally shocked by some of the actions both characters took, but it made for a pleasant change from the typical historical novel. The book was filled with adventure, fun, daring, and love, and the characters were likeable. After having read this book, I'm happy to say I've found another good author and I'm looking for another Henley novel.

This book is a rollercoaster of emotions. It is brilliant the way Ms. Henley makes Ruark/Rory so different from each other but one in their love for Summer. Both men separately are any woman's dream man but when put together Ruark/Rory makes anyone want to scream with pure joy. I laughed when Summer sleeps with Rory thinking that he was Ruark and I cried when Ruark sees the cell in which Summer had been prisoner and he stats to weep. The love/hate ralationship that Summer has with both men is simply histerical. I loved every word of this book and I highly recomend it.

A little frustrating
A pretty good read, but I have to admit I found the main character was frustratingly fickle! A little too much unnecessary violence thrown in. Read more

okay, going against the crowd here
But I just did not like this book; I didn't hate it, but there were things that annoyed me.
Maybe its erotica (a gendre I don't really like) and I just didn't realise it... Read more
