Book Description

Publication Date: 1992

0380756269 The wildly unpredictable copper-haired beauty Megan Penworthy has her amorous sights set on Ambrose St. James, Duke of Wrothston -- a man she has never met but whose title attracts her. No other suitor will satisfy her -- especially not the common, though uncommonly handsome, horse breeder Devlin Jefferys, a worker in her father's stables. But, Megan doesn't realize that Jeffreys is really the Duke himself, posing as a commoner to avoid a duel with his best friend. The Duke finds he is enthralled by the brazen, title-seeking redhead and flirts shamelessly with her. Megan turns him away, explaining that for her, it is the Duke or no one. But then one night both are surprised to find themselves in each other's arms. The lovemaking is passionate, but a deceitful rogue and a selfish beauty have other passions and great danger to overcome before they can face their true emotions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extraordinary!!!!, July 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Man of My Dreams (Paperback)

My first Johanna Lindsay novel was a Malory novel. I have fallen in love with that family and now I can't wait to read more about Ambrose St. James and Megan Penworthy. This book is a must read. Megan's snide remarks and taunting of Devlin had me laughing throughout the book. Especially Devlin's rage because Megan named her horse Sir Ambrose (whom she doesn't realize is really Ambrose). What is really hilarious is Megan's proud announcement to Devlin that she is going to marry Ambrose St. James, or as Devlin knows him.....Ambrose "Devlin" St. James. I love how Devlin tells Megan he told the people at the house they stay at after their marriage that he is Ambrose and she gets mad at him for telling such lies. She doesn't even catch on to who Devlin is when the owner of the home shows up (Devlin's aunt) and begins to talk about his mother. Megan wonders how the woman knows Devlin. Megan's anger and shock at discovering that she actually married the man she set her cap on from the get-go is refreshing, but what is more amusing is his strong belief that Megan really married his "stable". When Megan moves into the stable because she wants her "horsebreeder" back, Devlin knows better. This book is a must read if you're a Lindsay Fan! I've read it more times than I can count. I can't put it down each time I pick it up. It's a MUST READ!!!! You won't be sorry because once you read the first page, you won't be able to put it down. Enjoy!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Man of My Dreams is GREAT, November 14, 2000

This review is from: Man of My Dreams (Paperback)

This is the first Johanna Lindsey Book I read. The first romance book I ever read too. Boy did she get me hooked! I have since bought all her books and re-read all of them many times, but this is probably my favorite. I laughed. I cried. Simply the best! I won't go into a storyline of the book since many others did. I will say that you might also consider getting "Love me Forever" as Megan and Devlin are in that story as well. It seems that most of the books I've read with sequels (or series') the author only puts a page or two with the characters from the previous characters. With "Love me Forever" your get to continue on with Megan and Devlin's story a little longer (throughout the whole book!). Lindsey is very good!! I recommend all her books, especially the "Mallory" series.

I've read most of Johanna Lindsey's books, and this one is certainly the best in my opinion. I was laughing out loud at Megan, and Devlin is one of the sexiest heros in the genre. It's one of Mrs. Lindsey's steamier romance novels, and also one of the more comedic. You'll fall in love with the characters, and you'll be cheering at the end when Megan gets her revenge on the society matriarch who snubbed her before she was a duchess. I usually am not one to reread books, but I've read this one at least 4 times. I never get sick of it. I highly recommend it!
