terific reading

This is a great book. One of her best.Takes place in the eary 1800's.

I really enjoyed this book. I highly recommend it.

Of all the dukes in England, Jered Marcus Benton, the Duke of Bradford, was the wealthiest, most handsome-and most arrogant. And of all London's ladies, he wanted the tender obedience of only one-Caroline Richmond.

This was a great book full of intrigue and romance. Jared has to save Caroline from a killer who has been after her since she was a baby, and Caroline has to get Jared to admit that he loves her. A wonderful read, I highly recommend it!

my 1986 copy has a red and green cover with a flower brooch. good story

Deception, intrigue and scintillating scenes between the hero and the heroine -- it's all here....!!!! A wonderful regency.

These were two of the most stubborn characters I have ever read; a little open communication could have solved everything = but then, where would our story be?

I really liked this story. Julie Garwood spins a good tale.

Very good book - another favorite author!

Jered Marcus Benton, the Duke of Bradford, always gets what he wants. And right now he wants Caroline Richmond. Caroline Richmond, the beauthy from Boston vows to tame the Duke and make him love only her. But the Duke bends to no woman, until intrique and a common enemy unite them and turn their dangerous desire into to a flaming love.

I love Julie Garland's books, and this one proved to be just as good as the rest.
