review 1: I enjoyed this story, but I probably would not buy it to add to my collection. The main problem with the book is that the hero is wonderful, and it seems so unbelievable that the heroine, Lizzy, would not totally thank God for being handfasted to Jack. He is good looking, rich, willing to do manual labor, and he knows how to get her going!!!! I'm not really sure why she would have continued devotion to a man who never officially asked her to marry her, especially since he did not previously offer any help for her financial situation. This is the second London book that I have read. Both have been good, but not outstanding.
review 2: Jack the Earl of Lambourne is fleeing England because his name has been listed in the Book of Scandals. This book list the names o... moref possible lovers of the Princess of Whales and her husband the Prince of Whales is hunting these men down and prosecuting them for treason. Bounty hunters are in hot presuit after Jack , Jack has fled to his native homeland Scotland where he is caught by a Scottish Laird Carson Beal. He promises Jack that if he will Hand fast with his niece Lizzie Beal; which is to be bond to each other for a year and a day, at which time they can separate or legally marry. Jack agrees to keep himself from being return to England and hanged. Of course Lizzie does not agree and she is a hellion!! anyway they Hand fast and are bond together. Lizzie comes off a silly hot tempered women (not girl) who does not think things through. Their is no real passion or romance between them just the back and fourth arguing and her trying to run away; they disconnect instead of coming together but eventually they do, at the very end of the book. Lizzie is a Virgin, but no particular care is taken when Jack finally gets around to deflowering her. The way its written is not a true life experience the way a women would feel or a man who loves her would be more loving and passionate. This was written in a cold and indifferent kind of way their was nothing to mark this as a special event in a persons life. No sensual heated passion it just seems to happen. If Authors such as London write about virgins than please for the sake of the female race please take responsibility to write it with caring love and sensual passion. I have read most of Julia London's books, but this one wasn't worth the read or the money spent to buy it!!!!! less
