review 1: Karla says: The characters in the story just make me smile. The unrepentant rogue, Lord Phillip, teases and cajoles the cautious (I'm-not-sure-if-I-want-to-be-a-nun) Miss Angela Sullivan. She hasn't seen a man in 6 years, and women don't usually say no to this bad boy, so sparks fly from the first. The author weaves a believable tale of heartbreak, forgiveness, and love. She also introduces plenty of interesting secondary characters for additional stories.
review 2: Nice meet-cute premise: a ne'er-do-well Lord is beaten by his creditors and left for dead, and recovers from his injuries at a nearby abbey, where he meets and falls in love with a young woman who has been contemplating taking orders ever since she was caught in a compromising position several ... moreyears back -- but, deep down, she knows she'll never be a nun. That dance could probably have sustained an entire novel, but Rodale brings things to a head halfway through the story -- then creates another diversion wherein Philip has to prove himself to Angela all over again. Throw in a batshit former suitor and various sympathetic if interfering family members, and it's a pretty rollicking good time. The dialogue is a bit anachronistic in patches, which is a bit distracting, but the setup was charming enough to keep that from being an off-putting problem. less
