Book Description

Publication Date: August 5, 2008

Rachel Sommerville was soon to marry a scoundrel. Innocent and untouched, Rachel would never guess at her future husband Daniel's past exploits. But Ronald Connor knew everything about Rachel's betrothed. Daniel had seduced Roland's closest friend, his sister, and spurred the events that led to her untimely demise. Roland planned to turn all of his blame and anger against Rachel and her marriage. He would turn feelings of pure hatred to acts of love, employing his every skill to charm Rachel into a sexual tool--one he could use to humiliate Daniel in his honeymoon bed. But he didn't know that once this true lady began to let down her hair, Roland would be the captor of her seductive charms?

4.0 out of 5 stars A heady blend of eroticism and innocence, October 30, 2001

It seemed so simple. Roland Connor intended wreck revenge on the woman his enemy holds dearest. Daniel had debauched his sister, leading her to her grave. His plan is perfect. He'd seduce the innocent woman destined to be Daniel's wife. He'd teach her harlot tricks, and maybe late one night, when she lies in her husband's arms, rather than calling out her husband's name, she'll call out Roland's name instead. He didn't know she'd teach him to love.

Kept like Rapunzel in her tower, far removed from the mundane necessities of life, Rachel Summerville accepts her aunt's dictate that her only job in life is to be pretty and to marry well. Despite his misgivings, Rachel plans to marry the man her aunt selected for her. Then she meet's one of her aunt's guests. Roland's insolent smiles and hopeless importance awakens the woman within. Even knowing that he's a gambler, a horse thief and a con man, Rachel allows him to teach her the pleasures of life. She descends a rope to his waiting arms, and together they walk the streets of San Francisco, attending the symphony and tasting the forbidden. Even as she gives Roland her heart, she knows she will marry another.

Once again author Linda Jones creates a naughty, sensual romance that will hold readers entranced. Combining the faerie tale elements of Rapunzel with the horrors of Jack the Ripper, LET DOWN YOUR HAIR becomes a tale both uncommonly fresh and sharply original. This sensual journey of a young woman's awakening sexuality combines eroticism and innocence in a heady blend. As Rachel learns to let her hair down, they share a joint lesson in life and in love. LET DOWN YOUR HAIR is a delightful read, coming highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clever and different, October 28, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Let Down Your Hair (Faerie Tale Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

I've read most of these fairy tales and I've found them all clever and different. Each one makes me think and laugh. I'm always amazed at how she twists the tales and comes up with something new. For instance, "Let down your hair/hare," takes on a whole new meaning in this book. I enjoyed it immensely!
