This is the perfect read for a vacation. It has all the ingredients of the perfect getaway for the imagination.
What makes it better than the average Regency novel are the characters, specifically the female protagonist. For once we don't have the female lead being swept off her feet helplessly. Alethea has spunk, talks back and sometimes gets the better of her rake.
Admittedly the plot is predictable to the details, the insertion of cameos from Hunters previous Boscastle books is heavy handed and a bit confusing to readers who don't know the other books but nonetheless, this is fun read.

An okay read, but not a keeper
5. Juli 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
We all know Gabriel from the previous books in the Boscastle series. He's the blacksheep cousin of the family. Now he's back from Waterloo and still up to his old tricks of being A reckless gambler and rogue. He wins A country manor right next door to the woman he's been pining for since he was a teenager. The beautiful Lady Alethea has always had A soft spot in her heart for the troubled youth that he was, but now she's finding out that it's even harder to resist the troubled man. The book will take you on A journey of secrets and misunderstandings, and the redemption of A scoundrel by the love of the woman he's always wanted.
This book was an okay read. I was really looking forward to reading about Gabriel's story after seeing what an exciting scoundrel he was in the previous books of the Boscastle series, but like most of the romance series that are out there now, he was not as exciting in his own book. I wanted to see A little of the same man that was so fascinating in the other books, but there were little of his old personality in this book. There were moments when I saw A shadow of the old Gabriel with his biting wit and easy going ways but his character took on A change that did not live up to the Gabriel of the past. Also, the storyline was not interesting enough to keep me glued to the pages and after I got to page 250 I started to lose interest. I still consider Jiillian Hunter A good writer though because she has A way of drawing you into the story with the characters clever wit [especially the hero's] and I always appreciate that in A book.

Better than the last offering

This book follows the wicked Bostcastle cousin we have all come to know from the previous series. Gabriel is known for his sinful vices and gambling skill. He wins an estate at a game of chance that happens to be in the village where he grew up. Here he becomes reaquainted with the heroine Lady Alethea, who had also grown up in the village. We begin to learn about Gabriel's difficult childhood that shaped him into the scoundrel he was to become. Alethea had been the one nice memory in a bleak childhood, and the only one to show kindness to a boy acting out in his anger.
There is alot of character interaction and it is easy to see how the childhood acquaintances fall in love.
Alethea is also harboring a heartbreaking secret of her own. This leads to a big misuderstanding. The heroine, not being actually adverse to sharing her secret, but rather always looking for the opportune moment allows the secret to go on to long and the misuderstanding occurs. Gabriel becomes a bit of a hypocrit. However, the misunderstanding is resolved fairly quickly without being drawn out for to long.
There is a nice set up at the end for the next book in the series.

Not one of her best...
12. Juli 2008

I had so looked forward to reading Gabriel"s story but this one is such a big letdown. The story never seemed to create a momentum that could sustain it to a satisfying end. The "big secret" of the heroine is a cliche that has been used too often in books of this period of late. Ms Hunter let poor Gabriel ( and her loyal readers) down with such a lackluster offering.It kind of felt like this book was a "have to" rather than a " want to" for this author. If you are a Hunter loyal reader get it used, if you aren't familar with this author try her A DEEPER MAGIC, which is a far better offering from this well established author
