Tonight was the night. Jacqueline Beresford's life as a female cat-burglar would finally end--after one last treasure made her rich. The beautiful Faberge egg was within her grasp. She could almost feel the intricate designs touching her fingertips. She could almost see the sparkling jewels in the light of day. She could almost hear--a man right behind her! The giant of a man threw a shadow over Jackie's reaching hand and her dreams of great fortune. He could have crushed her with a single blow--but he didn't. Instead, he lifted her up. Rory Donovan gave Jackie a job as his son's own governess. He wanted to help her--and perhaps to love her. But could Jackie trust a man who had used her sins to make himself her master?

Move Over J. Lindsey,
By MellyH "withthewookie" (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jackie & the Giant (Faerie Tale Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
After being trapped in a never-ending Johanna Lindsey cycle for weeks, Linda Jones' 'Giant' was phenomenal. I loved the relationship that the two main characters were involved in and how the plot DID thicken and get resolved. Set in the 1800's, the main character is a thief looking for her ticket out. Unfortunately her victim's insomnia ruins her plans. She finds herself employed by him as governess to his rambunctious child! This man (forgive me for forgetting his name), has a lot on his mind and luckily Jackie is just the thief to steal his heart and remind him that one never forgets how to love. The story never gets too complicated and is a breath of fresh air after so many redundant books with weak female characters. There is a slight fairy tale twist (Jack and the Beanstalk) but is only inbetween the lines and never overwhelms.

This is the story of Jackie,a thief who steals into the home of the "giant" Rory to steal his Faberge egg. She is caught however and ends up being chased down by Rory. Rory is a wealthy widower who has a wild six year old to raise. He decides that instead of calling the sheriff on Jackie he will make her his son's new governess. She at first balks at the idea but then agrees to it. She soon finds herself falling in love with Kevin, Rory's son, and also finds herself attracted to Rory. After a compromising meeting they get married and Jackie soon finds herself in love with her "giant". He too has fallen in love with her and evn though they are in love they must still conquer both of thier pasts to live happily ever after. I really enjoyed this story and will read more of Linda Jones's books in the future.
