review 1: If you're thinking this book is written in 1st person: It's not.That out of the way: I really liked this book. Chelsea is a sweet, innocent character thinking she's quite the clever, scheming seductress and this is what makes the story work for me. Had she really been as scheming as she thinks she is I wouldn't have liked her, but in this case I really felt for her and got dragged into the story, hoping she wouldn't get herself too tangled up in the mess she's creating and really wanting to see her get her happy end. The one negative thing in this story is that I think the plot got unnecessary complicated near the end as some extra obstacles got thrown up that could have easily been left out and which would have lead to a more balanced story in my opinion. Still it's one o... moref the better historical romances I've read lately.
review 2: Update: i love julianne maclean, but this book is utterly ridiculous.the premise is CRAZY! heroine chelsea rescues a naked man she finds unconscious in some caves near her home. she's been exiled to this island because of some "scandal" years before. anyway, she's being pressured to marry because her older bro can't produce an heir with his wife...or at least they haven't. so, she sets out to seduce the stranger so she can get pregnant from him and pass the baby off as her brother and sister in law's! that way, she won't have to marry! if that isn't crazy, why is this chick in love with the stranger...who by the way has lost his memory...after only 2 nights of sex. c'mon! i know virgins are susceptible to romantic notions...but really! there is a mystery slapped in here, but it's all wrapped up too quickly. there's like a paragraph of explanation for what happens rather than a development. ahh well. less
