10th ANNIVERSARY

Without honor, there is nothing…

So Kit Montgomery, Lord St. John, had been taught since the cradle, yet his soul whispered there was something more. Something that made him long to look into the haunted depths of Judith Haviland's gaze and offer comfort, long before he had the right….

Though he had comforted Judith in the darkest hours of her late husband's abuse, Lord St. John's kind regard had never once gone beyond the bounds of friendship. Even now, his offer of marriage was meant only to preserve her honor. Yet could she marry him to stop the rumors that only told the truth of what was in her heart?

5.0 out of 5 stars Honor is everything,, September 19, 1998

By

This review is from: Honor'S Bride (Harlequin Historical) (Paperback)

but sometimes love is more important. Kit, Lord St. John, is proving his worth, his honor, not just the father who had all but given up on him, but also to himself. Then into his life waltzes Judith Haviland, one woman he can never have. In the middle of the horrors of war, love blossoms, an impossible love. Impossible until fate takes things in hand.

Kit and Judith's story is a powerful one that pulls on the heart strings. Once again, Gayle Wilson shows her abilities as a story teller and delights her fans with this tale of true love.

5.0 out of 5 stars MOST EXCELLENT -- TITLES BE HANGED, November 29, 2002

This review is from: Honor'S Bride (Harlequin Historical) (Paperback)

Titles are important for acuracy but it sure didn't lessen my enjoyment of this book. Most of us uninformed didn't even catch the discrepancie of Kit Montgomery's pilfered title.

In that day and age what did a man have if not his honor?
Michael Haviland turned out to be a louse but that was to be expected. How could Judith put up with the man?

I really enjoyed Kit's subordinates and their confidence in him as a commanding officer and their affection for him.

The story of their near excapes from death and danger kept me on edge and not willing to put the book down for any length of time. [gulp] I was sure Judith was going to finally hack off Kits' arm. Thank god for the "healing lady".

I find it, in my American upbringing, hard to think of the horrors and deprivation that the women [and men] went through in the Napoleonic wars. And am of the firm belief that millions should be set aside for veterans of all wars. [Take it from the fat-cat politicians]Where is their honor?

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- You will really enjoy the ending to the scandal and conflict of Kit and Judith's life especially when papa, the Earl of Ryde decides to step in.

4.0 out of 5 stars A warm book with a sweet ending, June 15, 2006

By 

MarilynJ "MIJOHNS" (Atlanta GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Honor'S Bride (Harlequin Historical) (Paperback)

Many regencies follow a format that this book does not follow. The heroine actually has some backbone, traveling with army in the war. Not typical for a regency. And the hero has amazing feet of clay. He falls in love with a woman who is far from ball rooms and silk gowns. A woman caught in a terrible and strained marriage torn by abuse and alcholism. It is a very sweet love story as they both bravely struggle through the grim reality of the war together. The story leaves you wanting to more, and you are sorry when the last page is turned.
