Southern Rapture

By Jennifer Blake

Book Overview

Lettie Mason, a proper yet headstrong Boston schoolteacher, journeyed to a small Louisiana town after the Civil War to expose the wretched rogue who'd killed her brother. The man was known as Thorn--a man with a reputation for both murder and mercy. She was sure he had killed her brother, but she learned that he also helped save the homes and lives of many townspeople. How could she reconcile these two different images of the same man--and how could she accept the overwhelming desire, the thrilling passion, and the reckless abandon he aroused deep within her?

A Exquisite Book

This was a exquisitely written story. Interesting characterization, good plot and sensational love scenes. This book kept me reading every page. I give Jennifer Blake five star rating with this one. I will keep Southern Rapture on my shelve to read again and again.

I liked it a lot ........

It was a very good book of double identies plot ... and the best thing about it is that you don't have to guess who is the Thorn , the auther tell us from the very begining . so you can keep with his point of view & his amotions . The story talks about a school teacher from the north - Letti - setteling south after the civil war so she can help capturing the killer of her officer brother . she rents a room at the Tylers where she met man/ boy Ransom who suffers from a head injory durring the war & made him act & think like a 12 years old which we learn quickly that it was just an act to cover for his ather activities ... Letti is strong & hardheaded , which it make it more surprasing that she fall for the Thorn from thier first meeting . As for Ransom , I liked him alot , espicailly as Ranny . and the Thorn was somthing between Robin hood & Zorro . All in all , the book was good & enjoyable ......

Not at all confused...keep the editor (proofreader?)!

While this is not my favorite Jennifer Blake book, it was great. There was never a question that we, the readers, were not to know the Thorn's true identity. Lettie did not know, we did...that was part of the tension. I love Ms. Blake's sexual tension, but more than that I love her witty dialogue and her sensitive, yet virile, men. While Royal Seduction and Royal Passion are my favorites, this was a great read as well.
