Editorial Review:
From the incomparable Jane Feather, author of national bestsellers Vanity, Violet, and Valentine, comes this enthralling new romance of daring deception and forbidden passion...Juliana drew the line at becoming a harlot. She had already begun the week as a bride...and ended it as a murderess. She was sure no one would believe that she'd hit her elderly groom with a bed warmer and knocked him dead quite by accident. So she did the only thing she could--she ran. Yet now she was in no
position to turn down a shocking proposition from the dangerously handsome Duke of Redmayne: that she become one man's wife and another man's mistress--his mistress. Could she play such a role? Could she live up to such a bargain? And once she had tasted the pleasures of Redmayne's bed, would she ever want anything else?

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Not bad...but not her best!!
Jane Feather is a wonderful author whose books I always enjoy, that having been said, I must admit I was a little disappointed with this one. I loved Tarquin, he was arrogant but very endearing. The heroine, Juliana was not quite as endearing. She was headstrong to the point of stupidity, always getting into one scrape after the other, expecting Tarquin or someone else to help, but refusing to take any responsibilty for having landed herself in such sad predicaments. She was the most ungrateful ... Read More
Rating:  - Some things are better left undone
This book of the percentage of Jane Feathers other books, was quite a dissapointment. The last half of the book was quite unneeded.
Rating: - Magistrate miraculously regains sight
I was moderately diverted by the plot, despite increasingly silly heroine, until the courthouse scene presided over by magistrate Sir John Fielding (younger brother of Tom Jones author Henry Fielding). John Fielding was blind (either since birth or an accident at age 19) and could not have "surveyed the women with a steady reproving stare", nor "regard the two complainants" nor "rest.. his gaze...". Neither could he have later accurately described the heroine's red hair ... Read More
Rating:  - Dull and repetitive, revolting premise
A man who will do anything to save a family estate is not going to be the most attractive hero. Tarquin is not only all that, but he is completely selfish and unable to grasp Juliana's feelings about anything.
She is so determined to fight him that she gets herself into ever more dangerous predicaments, and her campaign to reform the prostitutes takes up way too much time in the book which should rightfully have been spent with them getting to know each other and falling in love.
As for the ... Read More
Rating: - A cute, spicy, yet v. formulaic romance novel
I am probably going to say what most everyone said about Tarquin: he was very, very hot--sexy, handsome, amazing lover, close to a genius, a good guy underneath it all (of course). Juliana was cute and likable, particularly her clumsiness--I mean, having worn a full-skirt dress once in my life, I can say that it's no mean feat--and I can definitely relate to the poor clutz. Her strange drive "to help the girls of Russell street" seemed a bit fake, though--as did her instant to-die-for friendship with ... Read More
