More About the Author

Jude Deveraux was once a fifth-grade teacher who loved to read. When her imagination began to be filled with her own stories to tell, her career as a writer began. Jude's novels have been set in both contemporary and historical periods. Her strong, lyrical writing style and ability to write stories with memorable characters, rich detail, and believable dialogue has garnered her many devoted readers.

Jude has had over thirty books on the New York Times bestsellers list, has over 60 million copies in print, and has been translated into 18 languages. When she's not writing, she enjoys reading murder mysteries, working in her garden, and in boxing class she likes to show much younger males that she can throw a mean right cross.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great romantic comedy!, August 24, 2005
By 
D. Lane "Book lover" (austin, tx United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Raider (Mass Market Paperback)
The story is a variation of the Scarlet Pimpernel and Zorro but with a ton of humor added. I loved this book. I have read this book many times over the years. I still get a good giggle from it every time. YOU MUST HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR to enjoy this book. The dialog, hero , heroine , plot, background characters & character development are great. There's never a dull moment and the end was absolutely hilarious.

This book had everything you need to create a good romance: a dashing hero, a beautiful heroine and, most of all...PASSION! Jude Deveraux developed Jess and Alex's personalities and motivations very convincingly, to the point where you feel as though you know them well enough to be friends by the time you finish the book. The Raider was an emotional roller coaster, and I felt all the pain and joy they did. I was so engrossed, I read it in a day. The love scenes are ample & steamy, and the plot is a good one. A fast paced book with an intricate plot that I cannot help but enjoy. The Raider has a strong (but not obnoxious) heroine who is in no way ordinary, a back story which is compelling but doesn't get in the way of the love story, and of course a wonderful hero.

5.0 out of 5 stars AAAAAh Jude!, January 20, 2002
By 
Jenna Leigh "Jenn" (Louisiana, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Raider (Mass Market Paperback)
This was the first book I ever read of Jude Deveraux's. I was 16 and I fell in love with it. I have reread it about 4 times since then. The banter between the two lead characters is the best part of the book. She thinks he is just a foppish dandy, little does she know.....well that would spoil it for all of you. I recommend this book, its a keeper. Jude, hurry up and write something....I'm waiting!!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Stick with it - You'll be glad you finished it, June 5, 2004
This review is from: The Raider (Mass Market Paperback)
I did enjoy this book even though I was ready to through it in at times. Deveraux kept me curious - I had to find out when and how Alex's secret would be discovered. I must say that at times I was annoyed like "enough already, tell Jess the truth." As well as could she be that dense to not figure it out on her own? Even though I felt it dragged the anticipation a bit thin, I am glad I finished it - I did enjoy it. Give it a chance and I hope you will too!
