She made me believe in soulmates...

This is my second Teresa Medeiros novel and I wasn't disappointed!! I just finished reading it and I'm still sitting here with a silly grin on my face. This was a definete page turner! I just had to know what was going to happen next. The action never once stopped and never once was I bored or tempted to skim pages.I absolutely loved the way Prudence slowly evolved from the prim and proper "spinster" who had been neglected and walked over all her life to the strong, beautiful woman she had been meant to be. She blossomed so beautifully throughout the book.But what struck me the most was how Sebastian saw the beauty she hid underneath the tight chignon and the heavy spectacles. He knew almost immediately that she was the one meant for him and she and only she could invoke the magical and deeply stirring effect on him that love and only true love can create.I came to believe that they were soul mates and I loved that no matter what happened to them, they were always inexplicably drawn back to each other. They fought to overcome the odds and it was breathtaking to watch... because I felt as though I there beside Jamie watching it all unfold.I loved the secondary characters. They filled me full of tenderness or made me laugh out loud. And in the end I truly cared about them almost as much as Prudence and Sebastian. Of course there were a couple of characters that I despised... but it was fun to hate them. The story was filled with laugh-out loud humour and I found myself giggling quietly as best I could so not to wake my husband as I read. I was touched and moved by this book... I cannot wait to read another one!! I am so glad I found this author! She is amazing.

First Romance Novel Ever Read

Heather and Velvet was the first romance novel I ever read and it opened up a whole new world of reading to me. I have read every book Teresa Mederios has written. She is the best writer I've ever read and believe me, I've read a lot since Heather and Velvet. This book was dramatic, funny, had a lot of history entwined in it's plot. I highly recommend this book to everyone. I enjoyed this book so much that I was able to finish reading it in 6 hours. I couldn't put it down. I had to know what was going to happen next.

this book is awesome!!!

This book is so good. It has charming emotion, cutting witt, and humor. This novel also has a certain appeal to it, maybe it's the magic of the highlands. Throughout this book, I felt as if I were in the gang of bandits watching it all. Pru should've been a little more angry with Sebastian, but I totally loved this book. I hope Ms. Medeiros writes many more just like it.

This book is everything a romamce novel sould be.

I have owned this book since it first hit the shelves. Since then, I have read it more times than I can count. Mrs. Medeiros has written a story that will stick in my mind for years and years to come. She brought those characters to life! Sebastian and Prudence are so real you can almost believe that they are alive, living somewhere, hoplessly in love. And isn't that what a romance novel is all about? To bring love into this world?

Sebastian and Prudence will entertain readers for years.

Prudence Walker's life will never be the same after she meets a masked highwayman one dark and stormy night on a lonely road. Prudence Walker's life will never be the same after she meets Sebastian Kerr, her aunt's fiance'. Once she realizes the highwayman and her aunt's fiance' are one and the same, the real adventure begins, and love weaves it's magical web around the two of them. This book launched me into the world of historical romance.
