Book Description

September 21, 2006
THE MANUSCRIPT: Claire is desperate and destitute. Justin is reclusive and wounded. Together they tentatively explore forbidden passion and work together to decipher not only the ancient secrets of an old manuscript, but the intricasies of their newfound love. Justin isn't free, but is there a way around the censure of polite society? A beautiful ingenue and a solitary scientist find love matters more than scandal and some more than intruiging ideas for passion in The Manuscript... ~~~~~~~~~~ MIDNIGHT WITHOUT A MOON: Trenton Wyatt usually disdains gossip, but when it involves the younger sister of one of his best friends, he is forced to interfere before disaster strikes. Rescuing her from suspicious revenue officers by pretending she is his mistress brings both scandal and the wrath of her family down on his head, and before he knows what's happening, he is forced to wed the very beautiful, very reckless Jessica. Finally having the attention of the man of her dreams isn't exactly the fantasy Jessica Fairman imagined. For one thing, her arrogant new husband is both controlling and difficult to know...except, of course, sexually. In that way, the infamous rake performs predictably with exquisite skill and tireless passion, filling her nights--and days--with unbelievable pleasure. An unexpected union binds an aristocratic rogue and a determined young woman together in the dangerous darkness of Midnight Without a Moon...


Editorial Reviews

Review

5 Angels:"The Manuscript is a lighthearted and sexy tale of a needy, studious man and a woman abandoned by society because she's too pretty. Justin is tempted by her; Claire is intrigued by him. Watching these two dance around their attraction is half the fun of this story! Her work in translating a manuscript on folk remedies and sexual practices only serves as a foil to fan the flames. The villainess of this piece, the gleefully trampy Viscountess Ranleigh, is well-crafted and self-absorbed, and it's a joy to see her receive her just reward. The Manuscript is a charming and sultry tale, and is sure to please!" --Michelle, Fallen Angel Reviews       

4 Stars: "Two for the price of one is what you get in Wildes' wicked, but touching, Regencies. Readers will have a hard time choosing their favorite from these delightful and sizzling tales." --Romantic Times BOOKreviews

"The Manuscript by Emma Wildes is a delicious read. Justin was adorable. I found myself smiling at his discomfort and I loved how Claire was able to tease him. Claire was unlike any innocent I have read about in a while. She has guts. I don't think I would have been able to seduce Justin. The Manuscript is a hot, romantic read that instantly held me spellbound. I love how Ms. Wildes threw a plot twist at the end and surprised me. The Manuscript is a great addition to my library!" --Talia Ricci, Joyfully Reviewed

5.0 out of 5 stars The Sinful Gentlemen, July 2, 2008
This review is from: The Sinful Gentlemen: The Manuscript : Midnight Without a Moon (Paperback)
Claire Fallon is unsure why Margot Tremont, the Duchess of Astley, has called for her. Having been turned down for employment all over London, Claire is almost at the end of her rope and out of choices. Claire doesn't know it but that is exactly what Duchess Astley is counting on.

Margot Tremont is worried about her brother Justin. After a disastrous marriage, it seems that all her brother wants to do is content himself with country living and locking himself away with his various science experiments. Fearing that Justin will not be attracted to a female again, Margot has the perfect answer: Claire Fallon in all of her educated, intellectual, beautiful glory.

Justin Howard, Viscount Ranleigh, is looking forward to meeting the new assistant his sister has hired. However, when C. Fallon arrives, Justin can't believe his eyes. The man he thought he was getting is in actuality a woman.

A beautiful, witty, smart, innocent woman. It is only a matter of time before Justin caves in and touches her and that is what Claire is counting on.

The Manuscript by Emma Wildes is a delicious read. Justin was adorable. I found myself smiling at his discomfort and I loved how Claire was able to tease him. Claire was unlike any innocent I have read about in a while. She has guts, I don't think I would have been able to seduce Justin.

The Manuscript is a hot, romantic read that instantly held me spellbound. I love how Ms. Wildes threw a plot twist at the end and surprised me. The Manuscript is a great addition to my library!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sinfully Delicious, February 27, 2007
This review is from: The Sinful Gentlemen: The Manuscript : Midnight Without a Moon (Paperback)
Emma Wildes has a lyrical voice which draws you into her fabulous historical stories immediately and won't let go until you've finished.

Delicious heroes, strong heroines and a few twists and turns only added to my delight. I can't wait for more of her books.

I adored both The Manuscript and Midnight Without a Moon tremendously.
Please don't make me choose which I liked best.
They are both wonderful.

This one goes directly to my keeper shelf!
Thank you Ms. Wildes for a magnificent read.

3.0 out of 5 stars A short romance, March 28, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I believe this is part of a mini series of books (or stories?) and as such, was very short. I read the whole thing and then went, that's it? It had a very promising start but I felt it was very rush (probably because it was short).

If I had known that, I wouldn't have purchase as I usually like longer novels.
