4.0 out of 5 stars slightly more subtle than the norm. and more beliveble, 3 Feb 2004
By E. Merron "liethal" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Saint (Get Connected Romances) (Mass Market Paperback)
What a joy to discover someone new to read, i've just finished 'The Saint' at 01.00 in the morning and ordered the rest of the series.
Vergil Duclairc is a relatively new viscount, searching to discover who drove his brother, the previous viscount, to suicide, at the same time holding the rest of his family back from financial and social ruin. The added complication of Bianca Kenwood, an independant American heiress and his ward, is added to the mix. Initially Vergil plans to have his rakish younger brother marry Bianca so keeping something of her inheritance - not specifically her money - in the family. Bianca simply wants to escape her guardianship so she can continue her training to be an opera star. She is unimpressed and undaunted by English Society and its rules and by Vergil's autocratic manner.
However, of course, unexpected passion, secrets, blackmail and attempted murder draw Bianca and Vergil together.
Now that sounds rather melodramatic but there is remarkably little hysteria or high drama in this writting. Bianca's attempts to escape her guardianship are reasonably sensible, she employs her own people and tries to arm herself with appropriate information, she is not only spirited defiance and dramatic gestures as with some heroine's. Vergil is by turns, understanding, loving, vulnerable and can even apologise for his mistakes without having his nose rubbed in it. There is subtle but real feeling for the wasted death of the brother, there is no improbable denial of Vergils feeling for Bianca or vise versa. Bianca's determination to persue her singing career despite this love could have come across as rather spoilt child but instead was understandable as a painful but informed decision where neither initial choice was perfect and the resolution, though as swift as most, lacks the jarring improbability of some others where big emotional hurts are discussed, forgiven and forgotten in 3 lines! My only slight critisism is that in avoiding high melodrama the pace of the novel is rather level which means that while i read the book in one sitting, I was not turning the pages with thrilled avidity, however i was absorbing with quiet delight.

4.0 out of 5 stars Strongly paced with steaming intensity, 8 Jun 2005
This review is from: The Saint (Get Connected Romances) (Mass Market Paperback)
Madeline Hunter is a bright star in the historical romance heaven. She is a superb writer with a clear understanding of the strength of understating emotions to put across the force in them. The cold aristocratic façade of Vergil hides many layers and passions. He made duty the altar at which he serves to protect his family. He firmly draws his ward Bianca into this circle of protection, so be it if it does not suit her purpose. Bianca's free and passionate spirit breaks open the locks to the various layers of Vergil. Through the maze of threats against the Duclairc family, as well as Bianca's firm purpose in life of establishing herself in an operatic career, they find a deep an everlasting love. The tale is tensely and colourfully woven and keeps the reader absorbed. However, Bianca's continuing vacillation in the choice between her love for Vergil and pursuing the dream of an operatic career eventually smacks of self-indulgence to the detriment of Vergil. Self-indulgence not so much in the difficulty of the choice, but in her obliviousness to the impossibility of Vergil's situation. It falls solely to him to find a solution to the impasse. Accordingly Bianca's seemingly perpetual vacillation is perceived as a brittle note echoing through what should have been a satisfying end to the novel. Having said that, it is still a thoroughly gripping read.
