Summary: This Book Doesn't Disappoint! Excellent!
Comment: We first met Stephen in WHITNEY, MY LOVE, the younger brother of Clayton Westmoreland, the hero of WHITNEY, MY LOVE. Although cast in a supporting role in that book, he still managed to shine, and to appeal to so many readers that they requested of Ms McNaught that she write a story just for him. I'm so glad she listened! And UNTIL YOU is just perfect for Stephen Westmoreland!
The relationship between Stephen, and the amnesiac Sheridan Bromleigh, is both fun and romantic. Although jaded by past events, Stephen still had a very strong sense of honor and responsibility, and allowing Sheridan to believe HE is her fiance is what sets this story up so nicely. Sheridan, like Stephen, is a well written and well-rounded character whom I came to like enormously. Her spunk shines through every scene, and their growing love had me on the edge of my seat.
In particular, one of my favorite scenes was when both Stephen Westmoreland and Nicholas DuVille were "vying" for Sheridan at Almack's, to the vast discomforture of both of them. Classic! And other favorite was the scene in which dottering, elderly spinster Miss Charity gets to the heart of the matter with Stephen, bringing him to blows with....Nicholas DuVille! (He, by the way, is another favorite of mine from this and past books.)
The fact that Stephen, unbeknownst to Sheridan, was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt when the truth first came out, further endeared HIM to me. I fully understand why he reacted the way he did later....and even later, following his conversation with Miss Charity and the altercation with Nicki.
The appearance of so many past favorites in this book just had me in raptures, as I love all of Ms McNaught's heroes and heroines...although admittedly, some more than others. I just can never read enough about any of them!
I HIGHLY recommend this book to all who enjoy Historical Romance novels, and although it would probably be best to have read, at least, WHITNEY, MY LOVE first, it's not really necessary. I am, however, glad to have not only read W,ML first, but also ONCE AND ALWAYS, ALMOST HEAVEN, SOMETHING WONDERFUL and A KINGDOM OF DREAMS (although the last is, actually, a PREQUEL to W,ML) before reading UNTIL YOU. It made the secondary characters in UNTIL YOU so much more fun, remembering when the spotlight was on them in their own stories.
And in MY opinion, the ending did NOT fall flat, but was perfectly written for the characters, and what had come before. Both Stephen and Sheridan acted within character, and the involvement of Nicki was a perfect touch.

Summary: Stephen's Story
Comment: Remember Stephen from "Whitney My Love"? Well is you have not read that story Stephen is the brother of Clayton and this is his story.
Sheridan is on her way to England as a companion for a young girl trouble is her young charge leaves the ship with a young man and leaves Sheridan in an akward position since Charise is on her way to England to marry another. Once Sheridan arrives in England she is injured in an accident on the docks and does not remember who she is or why she is there.
Stephen accidently runs over Charises fiance and kills him. He is on his way to the docks to inform her of this and does not realize that Sheridan is not Charise and takes her home to recover from her accident since he feels he owns it to her.
While recovering they get to know each other and a romance blooms. You get to meet other friends from previous Mcnaught books and of course you see Whitney and Clayton again.
Don't miss this wonderful book!

Summary: Typical Romance
Comment: I want to start by saying that I am sooo glad I read this book before Whitney, My Love. If I had read that first, I never would have picked this one up. While this is certainly not the greatest romance ever written, it is a cute and enjoyable experience.
I am also very gald that Ms. McNaught seems to have gotten over her habbit of having the hero throw the heroine over his knee and spank her (once with a riding crop). And while many argue that it is not a brutal beating, in Kingdom of Dreams, the book says that he hit her until his had was throbbing with pain. Well, I'm sooo sorry for him!
But, anyway, this was a cute book, somewhat enjoyable, and, even though I know how tempting it is to read series books, DO NOT read Whitney, or a Kingdom of Dreams, Nightmares is more like it!!
