Summary: I've Read Better
Comment: I have read most of Karen Robards novels so my rating is based soully on comparison. Most of the time she is great but some times the story is a bit flat. I found this one to be a bit flat. This is not the worst, I still have not finished Heart Breaker out of sheer disgust.
Judging by other reviews I appear to be alone in that opinion. By the sound of things I don't like this author very much so I must redeem myself. I would highly recommend Green Eyes, Scandalous, Maggie's Child, Desire in the Sun, One Summer, and Whispers at Midnight.

Summary: The Lady and the Ruffian...........An Unlikely Pair.........
Comment: Along a dark highway Isabella St. Just is kidnapped by two dangerous men. She faces certain death until Alec "the Tiger" Tyron, notorious king of London's underworld, comes to her rescue. She soon finds out that Alec is an outlaw who is respected and feared throughout London. Her attraction to him shocks and scares her. She should be afraid of him, but she isn't. Even after seeing him kill the two men who had kidnapped her.
Alec Tyron doesn't like it when men in the city try to leave him out of their affairs. Everything has to go through him first and if it doesn't, the men die. He's a ruthless man, a man not to be crossed, but yet, he feels a tenderness towards the small country mouse.
Alec and Isabella hide out at the Carousel, one of the many brothels that Alec owns. Someone is after Alec, someone who knows things about him. And someone in Isabella's aristocratic life is out to kill her. Alec and Isabella find themselves falling in love with each other despite their differences. Both praying the day won't come when society rips them apart, never to be put back together........
I know that that isn't a very good review of the plot, but I don't want to give the whole story away, and if you're anything like me you don't want to read a long, boring plot summary. To put it simply, I love this book. It's very original and romantic and I could see why these two fell in love, not like in other "romance" novels where all the characters do is have sex and you finish it wondering how in the world they fell in love. These two actually talk to each other, laugh together, respect each other, and their love comes slowly. Like snow fall down from the sky. You can see the transition from hate to care to love. It's very refreshing to see this in a romance novel and I hope to see it more often.
The only problem I had with this book was Isabella committing adultery with Alec. But the way Karen wrote about their feelings for each other and Bernard's treatment of Isabella, I couldn't help but cheer them on. And hope against hope that Bernard would never catch up to Isabella. But time runs out for Isabella and Alec......
The last few chapters will make you cry and ache with the feeling that Isabella and Alec will never have a chance. But the last scene will touch every corner of you heart and bring a smile to your face. You'll close this book knowing that Isabella and Alec's love is the strong lasting kind, the kind that everyone wants. You'll laugh, you'll cry. Don't pass this book up, you'll regret it.

Summary: One of the Best!
Comment: This is one of those books that you start reading at 10pm and then finish at around 4am - you will not be able to put it down. Alec, the hero, is one of the most perfect men I've ever found in a romance - gorgeous, vulnerable, self-made. I bought several Karen Robards books after this one, but they have yet to live up to this one. If you love this book, you might also want to get some of the earlier books of Meagan McKinney (When Angels Fall, **Lions and Lace**) which also have the guy-on-the-wrong-side-of-the-tracks thing going for them.
