France and England in the age of hedonism and enlightenment.
A green-eyed beauty is abandoned at the court of Versailles.
The predatory Comte de Salvan plots her seduction.
An all-powerful adversary snatches her to safety.
But is he noble savior or a satyr most despicable?
First and foremost, I must take into account that I have read the 3rd book in this Roxton Series..so I felt more inclined in it…than this one..which is the first in the series…
I have imagined and loved
Jonathon and Antonia together…so it’s quite hard for me to read
Antonia with another man, her first husband the Duke of
Roxton..:D…but I still love the story…
As always the story is
unique and unforgettable.. Antonia is just eighteen while Roxton is
in his late 40’s…but love defiles everything…
I enjoyed Antonia’s
impulsiveness and the duke’s aloofness and attitude… It’s a
wonderful story that started impossibly…. In every twist in their
situation…there’s always a solution or an unexpected answer…
I especially enjoyed how
the good-humored, frankness, outrageousness of Antonia, slowly but
surely changed the Duke’s stone heart into a warm puddle… I also
imagined the duke as a cute man especially when he resisted laughing
and tried to regain his composure in front of Antonia… I also love
and cherished all the supporting characters.. It’s like they were
meant to be there, helping and ruining the main ones…
I love the ending I think
it’s perfect and the things are sorted out… I felt the love,
anger, mercy and laughter in this wonderful story! Although I hadn’t
cried like in the “Autumn Duchess”, I felt the anger and fear of
Antonia from the controlling and disgusting hands of the Comte and
his son.
Another thing I’m
grateful for this book is it explained the sorrow and grief of
Antonia in the 3rd book… I guess if I had read this one
first..i might get angry with Jonathon…:)
Ms. Lucinda Brant is a
certified Historical Romance Writer if ever there’s a job like
that..:D
I think I thoroughly
believe now that “Age doesn’t really matter”…
To all romance and
historical lovers..What are you waiting for..? Grab these books now
and fall in love like the first time..:)
