Great book

I thought the book was great. Even though Edward married Lindsay out of revenge it later turns to love and passion. Lindsay has a stepbrother who kills her brother, yet she doesn't display any emotions of hate towards him, she just tries to distance herself from him. She is an innocent woman through and through, and that is what draws Edward to loving her. The book defitely has a twist in the end, which makes the book a good read. I wish Stella Cameron wrote more historical romances.

An entertaining read

I just wrote a review for Cameron's newest 'All Smiles' and it got me thinking about the only book I have really liked by her. 'Only By Your Touch' has an interesting plot, interesting characters and a really wicked villian. Lindsey is extraordinarily beautiful, sweet and seeming independent. She has a big secret that colors her whole existence. Edward is extremely handsome and also has a big secret that drives him to be consumed with revenge. The big problem here, I think, is that these two beautiful people who are obviously wildly attracted to each other don't talk. Edward, of course, is mistrustful of love (where have I read this concept before?)and Lindsey is too wrapped up in her big sacrifice to let herself love. Lindsey is so sweet and naive that everyone loves her. Edward is a cold fish with a bad reputation. (Is it deserved?) Lindsey is also a spirited girl so why does she let Edward get the best of her at times. Basically, though, she is really a neat character. Edward can be a insufferable tyrant at times and does not have a very high opinion of females (except his aunt). I would have murdered the guy and been hung before the conclusion of the book. Imagine him thinking he has suffered more than Lindsey because she is a woman! Talking between these two beautiful people would have solved alot of problems. But then it would half reduced the book by probably over half. Roger, Lindsey's stepbrother and a real nasty villian, was a nice touch. On that point, I can't imagine Lindsey allowing Roger to murder her real brother and not seeking justice. All in all, OBYT was an entertaining book. Cameron's best, I think.
