Book Description

Publication Date: 1 Aug 1999
Beauty and the beast--they were the scandal of the ton....

All eyes feasted on the beautiful flame-haired gambler in London's most  infamous club.  But Julia Prentisse was interested only in the rake-turned-recluse whom they now called "The Beast." She lured him out of the crowded club to a deserted warehouse, where she made her scandalous offer: If he married her and protected her from her uncle, she would help him catch the arsonist who had ruined his life.

An act of heroism had left Morgan burned, scarred for life. But Julia's bold gaze lit other fires he had long suppressed. And now this glorious stranger was his bride. But when he tried to claim his husbandly rights, she demanded three months grace--three months to know a stranger's mind, to touch a stranger's soul, to go where no woman had ever gone before. Into his lonely heart . . . With This Kiss.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVELY HISTORICAL ROMANCE WITH A BIT OF A 'WHO DUN IT' THRILLER BONUS 8 May 2012
By Carol 'avid little bookworm' TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Sometimes re-released books just don't work in more modern times, even if they're of historical genre, but this one definitely did for me. It's reasonably fast paced without any boring bits which a lot of romance novels seem to have just to pad them out. I'd finished it within a few days, although busy with other things.

Beginning in 1855, I really liked the two main characters. Julia Prentisse, beautiful, intelligent and full of integrity and Morgan St. James, Viscount Barlowe, practically a recluse, rich and powerful as well as stunningly handsome, despite his scars (both physical and emotional) from one of the fires set by Lazarus who is setting London ablaze.

Julia and Morgan quickly get together, driven by their joint desire to find the identity of Lazarus and Julia's need to escape her Uncle's power and his wish to see her married off to one of three repulsive characters.

The novel cleverly builds their relationship but also develops a good storyline around the arson attacks which have links back to both Julia and Morgan. A good ending which kept me guessing throughout the book. I Highly recommend this book and it won't be the last one I read by this author who I've only just discovered.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting Victorian romantic intrigue 9 May 1999
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback

In 1855 London, Morgan St. James, Viscount Barlowe, arrives home, only to notice a fire in the servant's quarters. He shouts out a warning and enters the facility to try to rescue the trapped individuals. He manages to save a small child, but severely injures himself in the blaze that a serial arsonist set. Several children died in the blaze and Morgan is scarred (physically and emotionally) for life.

Two years later, Morgan, called the Beast, due to his visage, has virtually withdrawn from society. He has become obsessed with catching the serial arsonist, but has attained no leads. Meanwhile, Julia Prentiss anonymously authors the Tattler, a paper that highlights the plight of the poor. She tells Morgan that she receives a letter from the arsonist just before he sets a fire. She persuades Morgan to marry her. He gains knowledge on his quest to uncover the fire bug who has caused much destruction and death. She gains freedom. However, "Lazerus" as he calls himself will not sit idly by and watch his "Flame" be devoured by a sinner. Instead, he expects her to be at his side as he cleans the city with the wrath of his fire.

WITH THIS KISS is a well-designed Victorian romance that will thrill fans of the sub-genre plus those who take pleasure from a romantic intrigue. The story line combines authentic elements from the mid-nineteenth century and a who-done-it investigation that could have come from a mystery novel within a fairy tale romance. The lead protagonists are a daring duo, who bring much to the novel. The support cast adds period piece depth. Victoria Lynne provides historical romance fans with an entertaining tale worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Although at times I wanted things to... 1 Feb 2013

...move faster, this was a beautiful story. I loved the little twists and turns that were thrown in to the story. I'll definitely be reading this story again. It was so beautiful watching them fall in love. The writing was so good you could feel the emotions as if it were you hopelessly and ridiculously in love with someone you didn't think loved you back.

4.0 out of 5 stars a suprising treat! 14 Nov 2012
By janey
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
i don't really do historical anything..., so i was'nt expecting to enjoy this book as much as i did, this is a classic mystery suspence romance, but just set in the 1800's, all i could picture throughout this was Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy as the two main characters, Morgan & Julia, him all brooding and her with all the stubborness, the suspence element was really well written and did have you itching to find out who the arsonist was, (i got it wrong)!, makes a change as sometimes its really obvious which can be frustrating and spoils many a book, This book is perfect to be read on a cold winters day, in front of a fire, cat purring on your lap, endless cups of tea and a packet of hob nobs, definately worth a go.
