Summary: My Favorite of all Velvet Series
Comment: I have read all velvet series and i have come to my own conclusion that this is the best of all four. It brought about all possible emotions u can think of out of me while reading this book. Gavin made me furious in the beginning! He is a fool. Yet, in reality, this things happend. Love does make us blind, somtimes. For years, Alice was an epitome of a woman Gavin wanted her to be. What's worst, Alice did her part well too. Witch! :-) She makes me sick, disgusted. Gavin is not one of my favorite historical romance heroes but in the end, i liked him better than in the beginning. As for Judith - Ugh, there are times, She makes me so mad, i had to throw the book...then i cannot wait to pick it up again. hehehe. Why does she put up with this man? Then, I feel sorry for her. Pity. She is confusingly in love and wanted to make her marriage work. By the time, i get really frustrated with her, she shows strength and courage. She never once lost her self esteem. She does what she believes is right and fights for her belief too. She is innocent and always true to herself. No pretentious. I ended up admiring her. She is definitely one of my favorite heroines of all times. This book is so exciting from front to end. I have many many favorite parts in this book, like for instance, when Judith gave a FAVOR to Gavin during a tournament and I love their wedding ceremony, how they were attracted to each other at first sight, though i wished the bedding part was more romantic than a forceful act. It was afterall, her first time. Well, I do not want to give it all away here. The book will surely set fires in your heart, soul and body. It will make u so mad, sad, frustrated, depressed then happy and relieved. It will make you cry, scream and laugh. This is the kind of book you wouldn't want to miss. A keeper in your collection.

Summary: A very good book for it's time
Comment: I actually read this book after I read "Highland Velvet" and it was the start of my addiction to Historical Romances when I was a teenager LOL. At the time this book was written it was the "norm" for the Hero to be a brute to the Heroine. I fell in love with Judith she was smart, strong and beautiful. I didn't think Gavin deserved her at all but still I loved the way Jude brought this all together.
If readers can keep in mind the time that this book was written I think they will enjoy it for what it is. A classic Deveraux

Summary: Awesome beginning to the Montgomery saga
Comment: This book starts out with a scene that bothered me quite a bit... but then I think that is what the author intended... it certainly drew me in and drove me to read more... very strong beginning to the story of Judith and Gavin. I love it when a book begins so wonderfully and intensely.
Gavin.... well he was handsome and his personality was very realistic for the period of time the book was written in. He was frustrated with Judith but still willing to listen to her thoughts. This made him even better in my eyes. However, I didn't like his reaction to her knowledge of he and Alice in the garden on their wedding day. I felt Judith had every right to be angry and he was angrier than she was because she had supposedly eavesdropped. He seemed kind of simple when it came to women and their feelings... but towards the end of the book... he redeemed himself in my eyes.
Judith was one of my favourite heroines. She was not raised as other girls had been and she had seen much pain and violence in her short life. These experiences made her so strong and unwilling to back down from any man. She was beautiful, but didn't seem to know it and that made her so endearing.
I really enjoyed watching these two fall in love, though they both frustrated me beyong belief at times. I despised Alice and found myself looking forward to the day when she would "get hers".
All in all... its a great book that brings out every possible emotion you could imagine... Can't wait to read the next in the series... Highland Velvet... It's about Stephan, the next brother who is just as hotheaded, yet endearing as his older brother. Should be a good read.
