Product Description
Aurora Huntley, free-spirited sister to the earl of Pembourne, lives under the dark shadow of the black diamond. The victim of threats from privateers who believe her brother possesses the precious stone, Aurora is a virtual prisoner in her own home. She now faces a fate worse than death: an arranged marriage to an uninspiring suitor. Craving adventure and freedom, Aurora has no choice but to do something shocking, something scandalous....
For two hundred pounds, a handsome stranger agrees to help Aurora stage her own ruin. But her kiss stuns him, and her name shocks him. She is a Huntley, and he is Julian Bencroft, the new duke of Morland. For generations their families have been bitter enemies because of the black diamond. Now, joining forces to claim the treasure, Julian and Aurora discover a love that is far more precious than any jewel. But first, they must conquer the evil that surrounds them -- or surrender their newfound found joy to the diamond's age-old legacy of betrayal.
Reviews
Margaret, AustraliaReview date: 2000-06-14 Rating: 2 out of 10I found this book, so boring and predictable. The charactors were so unbelievable that I don't know why I continued reading the book. The plot, was not too bad, but if you can believe a man who is bashed, stabbed then spends hours searching and tracking his wife is then able to satisfy his wife sexually etc , etc, then I would like to meet this superman. The book spent too much time in sexual writings, which doesn't even fire the imagination. Just say this book is a waste of good reading time, as this is the first book of hers that I have read, I would have second thoughts in ever choosing another of her booksWow! Watch out for this book!Review date: 2000-05-26 Rating: 10 out of 10Phew, if your going to read this book you had better turn the pages with oven mitts and keep a fire extinguisher nearby because it is HOT STUFF! At first when I started reading this book I thought the author gave away to much of the characters' background in the beginning, but I was blessedly wrong! There were many past secrets and feelings that I didn't even expect! The internal confilct is great too, (from a writers point of view now)- the hero has problems opening up because he wants to protect the heroine and he doesn't think he can because love will make him vunerable...*sigh*. Needless to say the love scenes were HOT! My only complaint was that a few cheezy moments during the love scenes, but hey, this romance! Still, you might want think twice before lendin' this book to your grandmam.Wow!
