4.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Like A Little Deception to Bring People Together, December 8, 2000

O.k. I admit it, I first felt sorry for Heather when I read that she had a limp. But we really quickly learn not to pitty her. She is truly a strong women. Her parents recognized it and gave her an estate to run. Then Damien comes along, a godsend, to help her run her estate. Little does she know that he is really after her REAL father and doesn't want to love her. The chemistry is almost instant, but alas doom comes when Damien doesn't believe that she doesn't remember her real father and forces her adoptive parents to reveal all. The a chance meeting in London reignites the passions and the game is on. Lets us just say that it is a true romance novel from here on. The love blooms, but so does the danger. I learned to love Heather's independance, but underneath it all, she is searching for someone to love her (aren't we all).

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific tale!!, February 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Every Wish Fulfilled (Mass Market Paperback)

I bought this book after reading James' more recent titles--she is fast becoming a favorite. Heather is not the usual, picture-perfect heroine; she has a limp. But her beauty shines in other ways, and that's what captives Damien, the hero--and oh, what a hero! The scene where he asks her to dance is one of the most beautiful scenes I've ever read. Don't miss this book--it's a goodie!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and poignant !!, December 3, 2003

A lovely romance, which is tenderly written and beautifully unveiled. The reader basks in this provocative romance- a story of a love affair between two heartwarming people.

Lady Heather Duval, is not the standard beauty of romance reading. She is an attractive, gentle person, but she is not perfect -- he maimed her -- her own father ...

"A small, black-haired child toddled up ... next to her father's leg. Curiously she stretched out a tiny finger toward the smooth metal. Her father whirled on her. "Don't touch that brat!" he snarled. With the back of his hand, he dealt her a blow across the cheek that sent her tumbling to the floor. Her lips trebled, but she made not a sound ... (Her mother) paid little heed. "Find your bed," she ordered brusquely, "and don't come out till morning." The child crawled to a straw pallet in the corner. Shivering, she curled into a tight little ball."

Such was the beginning of Heather Duval Elliot's life. Heart wrenching.

A childhood filled with sadness, "Did you really think we liked you, Heather? ... Well, no one does. No one wants to be near you ... You're not like us, Heather Duval."

Heather Duval was the orphaned ward of the Earl of Stonehurst and his countess. Two wonderful chosen parents who raised her with warmth and love ...

"No you are not a child of my womb, not a child of his loins, but you are a child of my heart, of our hearts. No child of mine, of ours, could be more our own that you."

But Heather knew a man would never love her, nor would she know the joy of a child against her breast .. .

"Tears ran ... Her shoulders shook, "I'm not beautiful ... I ... I'm ... I'm deformed."

Damien Tremayne, the Earl of Deverell was the rage of London; eligible, wickedly attractive, and he wanted Heather.

"Damien stood there, in the center of the ballroom ... she knew the guests had gone utterly quiet. Every eye in the ballroom was turned upon him ... And then he did something she never would have expected. Indeed, the last thing on earth she expected... He held out his hand to her."

Sigh, a wonderful book
