No Other Love is an absolutely wonderful book. Nicola and "The Gentleman" ignite sparks from their first encounter and fan the flame throughout the rest of the book.

Nicola, who is a down-down-to-earth member of high society, is still in love with her former lover who has been dead for ten years. One can almost feel her pain and longing for him.

Jack, "The Gentleman" highwayman, is a character I think every woman would love to meet. He is vowing revenge against Exmoor for a past wrong. Jack is definitely a hero to fall in love with. A sort of Robin Hood to the villagers.

Even though the direction this book is going in seems pretty obvious, the fun part is getting to the destination (the last page!) This book had me smiling and practically on the edge of my seat. Of course characters from the other two books in the series are in this one and that adds to the fun. This was definitely my favorite of the three books. It was completely enjoyable. (It is comparable to the Mallory Novels by Johanna Lindsey.) You will love the characters just as much. I can't say enough about this book except that it is a MUST READ!!!

(I would also like to see more books written that involve these characters)

Ten years ago Nicola Falcourt watched in disbelief as her beloved Gil Martin, a groom, and the Earl of Exmoor, Richard Montford, fought. Her incredulity changes to anguish when Gil fell off the cliff and died. A grieving Nicola kept the engagement ring that Gil gave her close to her heart while never forgiving Exmoor for causing the death of her sweetheart.

Nicola has stayed away from Exmoor even though he married her sister Deborah. In 1815 Nicola finally agrees to visit in response to Deborah's urgent plea to help her through her pregnancy in light of three previous miscarriages. On the way to Exmoor, The Gentleman stops her coach, robs Nicola, and steals a kiss. To her guilt as she has stayed loyal to the memory of Gil, she liked the kiss and soon learns he is a popular Robin Hood-type figure. The Gentleman keeps showing up in a weird courting of Nicola and soon they fall in love, but her safety becomes questionable since Exmoor wants the Gentleman dead.

NO OTHER LOVE is an exciting Regency romance filled with non-stop action and an entertaining rogue of a hero and an intrepid heroine. The story line never slows down, as Nicola seems to land in one predicament after another mostly caused by The Gentleman. Though extreme, Exmoor comes across as 100% pure evil, making him the oppositey of the lead couple and the catalyst moving the plot forward. Fans of the sub-genre will find Candace Camp's latest tale quite enjoyable.

Each book in this trilogy improved upon the last. Readers of the first 2 books will welcome Nicola's turn at love -- and will enjoy meeting "The Gentleman" highwayman again. Although Jack's distrust of Nicola is sometimes annoying, his sensitivity and goodness overcome it. Their passion ignites the pages, and the suspense is dealt with a sure hand.

The saga of evil Richard is concluded satisfactorily, and it is indeed pleasant to have all the main players from the first two books here to take a hand in the outcome. Justice prevails, true love reigns supreme, and the good are rewarded with happiness.

After reading this one, I would consider rereading book 1 to see if I'd rate it higher now. I am left, thanks to book three, with a very pleasant, satisfied feeling.

This book is fantastic reading. This is the last book of a 3-book series written by Candace Camp. The first one is "A stolen heart" and the second book is "Promise me tomorrow". The characters of her books are vividly written and seemingly alive. The story of the series is about three brother and sisters who were separated since they were young. Will they find each other? Read the whole series and find out for yourself.

Jack and Nicola are very vibrant characters. Although you could tell which way the story was going, it was one of the best stories I have read in ages. Bringing back all the characters from the first two books and having them play a significant part in the unraveling of the final mystery is a rare occurrence one that I enjoyed beyond words. By the time I got to the last page, I was laughing and crying at the same time. You have to read this trilogy. It will keep you interested from beginning to end. I'm sure you noticed that I didn't say anything about the story in detail. You're going to have to read the books to find out.

The first two books, "A Stolen Heart" and "Promise Me Tomorrow," introduced us to both Niccola and Jack. While both of those were good, this is my favorite of the three. Camp still writes a fast paced story, and here we get a chance to find out about the mysterious highwayman who has played a part in the lives of the other characters in "Heart" and "Tomorrow."

Overall, I highly recommend this book. It's a delightful romp with a nicely tied up ending. (We finally get to see Exmoor get what he deserves!)

Somewhat obvious plot but sooo great. The best one of the series by far. I can't put it down and have hardly gotten any sleep because of it! Wish it wouldn't end.

At first, I was not sure if I was going to enjoy No Other Love. The heroine seemed a bit shrewish and a tad too willful but by the middle of the book she really grew on me.

Nicola is a determined spinster on her way to her sister's home when her coach is stopped by a highway robber and his gang. The man steals a kiss which leaves Nicola weak at the knees but not so weak that she cannot slap the highwayman.

Nicola's sister is married to the Earl of Exmoor, a man who once desired to marry Nicola. She despises him as she holds him responsible for killing her first love, Gil. The flashbacks with Gil and Nicola are quite good and this in many ways is the best part of the story. Their romance is sweet and innocent but what chance did they have? He was a commoner and she a noblewoman, however Gil planned on them running away to America where class distinctions would not matter. This did not come to pass as Gil and the Earl were in a scuffle with Gil going over the edge of a cliff.

Nicola is alone and involved in charitable causes. She is intrigued with the highwayman, Jack and when he needs her help she provides her limited medical services. Nicola has feelings for Jack and she feels very guilty as she has determined to stay true to her first love but Jack is also just as determined to break down Nicola's defenses. When these two are honest with each other this book works very well, when they keep secrets it tends to drag. Still this couple is very likable.

I have recently discovered Candace Camp's books so it is catch up time for me. This book as well as "A Stolen Heart, Promise Me Tomorrow"; the rest of this series, are suspenseful, fun and can't put it down kind of books. They were over too soon for me.

I enjoy the author- Candace Camp. This is one of a trilogy. She has great characters. Amazon was fast and easy. I got the book quickly and in the condition I was told it would be. I will be a future customer.
