Kat Martin Books

I've read almost all of Kat Martin books. They are all wonderful and transport you into another time and place. The history Romances are my favorite. Couldn't put them down.

Adam Harcourt Rocks!

I have read nearly all of Ms Martin's books. I find this one along with Devil's Prize and the book about Adrian Kingsland (don't remember the title) one of her best. Both hero and heroine are very attractive. Gillian is not overly temperamental like some of her other heroines. She's stoic when confronted with the prospect of being hanged for a murder she did not commit while being ostracised by the ton for her supposed liaison with the victim. Adam Harcourt is the kind of man you dream about but never meet, literally very tall, dark and handsome. He is damaged by his previous experiences with women and is distrustful of them. This makes him come accross as hard but as the novel progresses his developing love/lust for Gillian softens him. He is at once protective of Gillian and forceful in his erotic intentions towards her. A very sexy read.

Great

If you are a fan of this genre (romance) I highly recommend. A really good author I must say! A+++

Most Excellent

Adam Hawthorne, Earl of Blackwood, was a man haunted by nightmares that drove him to seek solace in the early morning hours galloping horseback in the park. It was here that he first spied Jillian Whitney, a young lady whose quiet countenance intrigued him. Some mornings later he rode with a friend who introduced him and gave him the latest gossip that Jillian was living with the elderly and much older nobleman. Given the period, she was labled a fallen woman and snubbed by the ton.The night Jillian's beloved guardian is murdered - she ran from the house - right into the arms of Adam who decided then that he would have her. Under the guise of hiding her from the authorities, he brought her to his home and became her protector and defender. Primarily, this was to eventually bed her, but he finally came to believe in her innocence and set out to help her prove it. Women had been his downfall, he would never love again, but his body ached for her - he had to know the truth before he would take her.The story is really quite good and the sex is hot! It is suspenseful and keeps you guessing right up to the end! (I thought it was the butler!) There is also a secondary love story that evolves here in this book which is also quite good.
