Customer Reviews

Hovering on the edge of my KeepPermanently shelf.

Good story, enjoyable characters. Witty dialogue. I would have liked more to have been made of the leading lady’s early life. That could have been very entertaining. Felt like the last few chapters and the resolution were overly drawn out, but overall an enjoyable read. Enough to make me look for more by Ms McNaught.

Until You

This was the first book I read by Ms. McNaught,and I absolutely loved it- so much that I ran out to buy the other books (Whitney, My Love; Once and Always; A Kingdom of Dreams; Something Wonderful and Almost Heaven). I don't like her modern works, but Ms. McNaught really can write a historical romance. Sheridan is a companion for a wealthy, spoiled American debutante who is coming to over to England to marry. Unfortunately, Stephen, who luckily becomes an Earl before this book (he's untitled in Whitney, My Love) runs over her husband to be, but as the debutant elopes with a man she meets on the ship, Sheridan is the one he meets at the peer. Before they can clear up the mix up, Sheridan is knocked unconcious by a falling crate, and she loses her memory. Stephen, feeling responsible, takes her to his home. This book was excellent. The heroine is not an idiot, and there is a fair amount of humor in it. It is actually romantic too, so you do want the hero and the heroine to get togther. I would recomend this to anyone who likes historical romances, because it is one of the best ones I've ever read.

Better than Whitney My Love!

I've read this book more than once and it's one of the few romances that's left an impression on me. It's my absolute favourite! I think what makes it SO good is the characters especially Stephen! He's my dream man! Judith McNaught does a wonderful job of making you fall in love with him and Sheridan. I loved every single part of the book, except when Stephen was angry with Sheridan because he thought she lied to him. By the way, that seems like kind of a trend with Judith Mcnaught, having the heroes think that the heroines are brilliant actresses who lied to them? Anyway, all I gotta say is do not pass this one up! It will make you laugh and cry, and if you like it read Whitney My Love too (although in my opinion it's not as good). However Stephen is so adorable in it!

WOW! Great sequel to Whitney, My Love!

I can surely say this is one of the very few sequels to a book that I was extremely happy with. This is the story of the Earl of Langford, Stephen Westmoreland. He is the brother of Clayton Westmoreland, the Duke of Claymore, who is the hero in the first book, "Whitney, My Love". The heroine from "Until You" is Sheridan Bromleigh, she's an American who is sent to be an escort to Charise Lancaster. Charise is to marry a Lord Burleton when she arrives in London, a match made by her father. But on the way, she elopes with a stranger. Now Sheridan is frantic with worry over the predicament she's now in. Stephen comes to the pier to meet Charise Lancaster and to tell her of the unfortunate death of Lord Burleton. Sheridan is the woman he sees coming to him off the ship, so he assumes she is Charise. He blurts out what's happened and as she turns away, a cargo net hits her in the head. She wakes up 3 days later with no memory and everyone is calling her Charise Lancaster! The story is funny and witty and romantic. Many appearances are put in by Whitney and Clayton from "Whitney, My love" and from Nicki. Stephen reminds me of Clayton alot in this story. He is commanding and sexy. The problems he runs into with Sheridan remind me of the problems Clayton had with Whitney a little, that was my only complaint. The story was like a rollar-coaster of emotions. One time you're smiling, the next time you feel heartfelt sympathy for the characters. It keeps you turing the pages. Judith McNaught is a wonderful author who is new to me. She brings heartfelt emotion to her stories like no other. Many authors strive to attain what she has, but fall short. This is a wonderful example of her work. Also try her others from this family-The Westmorelands. "Whitney, My Love" which is first, then this book "Until You", and last, "Kingdom of Dreams"; which is the story of the first Westmorelands. Also, there is a short story for those interested in what happens to Nicki. It is in a book of short stories called "A Holiday of Love", the story is called "Miracles". There are also other stories in it by Jude Deveraux. Hope this helps anyone! =)

Great follow up to 'Whitney'

I bought this book and Whitney at the same time, and I'm so glad that I did. As soon as I was finished with the first book I grabbed the second one. I loved each book about the same (although I loved 'Whitney, My Love' just a tinsy bit more). Judith McNaught writes the absolute best books. The character developmant in this book was above and beyond and I loved the fact that she gave us a little insight as to what Sheridan's childhood was like. If you kinda sorta like Judith's other books, you'll fall in love with Until You. (Although I have to wonder about the Westmorland brothers' tendency to mistrust their loved fiancees and to ... ahem... rape them)

Great!

This was the first JM book I read. Barrowed it in the library and read it in 1 day. I couldn't and wouldn't put it down. The characters were great. The only set back was that the amnesia thing took too long. It could have been shorter. Until You is a great love story and it's funny as well. After reading this book I had to have it for myself. I didn't know that Until You is a sort of sequel from Whitney, My Love. I now own all the regency romance books of Judith McNaught. In 1½ weeks I read them all! Lost a lot of sleep but it was worth it! She's a great writer!
