I am absolutely loving this series of books about these sexy brothers!! I thought that the first installment "The Wild One" was fabulous..well..let me tell you.."The Beloved One" was even BETTER! I LOVED this story. Charles and Amy were two wonderfully developed characters..they were so meant for eachother. It was heartwrenchingly bittersweet watching them fall in love..seeing all of the hardships that they went through and overcame together..I Love this family!! I am as we speak beginning the next in the series..Andrews story. I HIGHLY recommend these books..DEFINITE KEEPERS!..(In order they are.. The Wild One, The Beloved One, The Defiant One, and The Wicked One...enjoy!)

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books of 1998!!!, February 11, 1999

This review is from: Beloved One (Mass Market Paperback)

After falling in love with the hero of Ms. Harmon's THE WILD ONE, I couldn't wait to read the sequel, THE BELOVED ONE. It was well worth the wait. This was truly one of the very BEST books of 1998! Lord Charles de Montforte was a hero To-Die-For ... he was so real, so human, so tortured, and so handsome, that I wished I could take him home with me. He was larger than life. If only there were men like him in REAL life! I can't wait to hear what happens to the rest of the brothers. This series is awesome. Bring on Lucien!

3.0 out of 5 stars I was disappointed, December 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Beloved One (Mass Market Paperback)

After reading "The Wild One" I was expecting more from this novel. While Charles is a beleaguered hero I found him to be missing much of the charm that had made his brother endearing in "The Wild One." While the set up of Charles' fiance and child made a great obstacle to be used in this story, it seemed to be underdeveloped and unrealistically resolved. I was expecting a sequel that would explore the problems created in the first novel and instead was left feeling that the author took the easy (and unsatisfying) way out. This didn't seem to me to be the best work Harmon has done. Too much of the central family conflict in England seemed to be disposed of at whim.
