True romance

On his return to his home, Dante Tremaine, discovers a young girl lying in the middle of the road, unconscious. From the moment he commits to helping her, his heart is lost to the mysterious beauty who can't remember her name or where she's come from. When the truth comes out, he's helpless to walk away, even though there is a bad history between their families. What ensues is pure adventure, pure romance, and truly a great read. The dialogue sparks, the setting comes alive, and in the end, you will find yourself putting this one on your keeper shelf like I did. Dante is one of my favorite Reding heroes and Gillian is his perfect match. I'd give this ten stars if I could.

A great adventure

This book was a truly enjoyable! I came to write my review and saw CKINGLUV's remarks and thought he/she could not have read the same book as me. Then I went and saw that CKINGLUV seems to make an occupation out of writing nasty reviews for talented authors like Jill Barnett and Mary Jo Putney! I wholeheartedly disagree with her comments about this book especially. STEALING HEAVEN was a delightful adventure with a wonderful romance between Gillian and Dante. The addition of the characters from the earlier stories was an added feature. The interaction between the two characters was well-written, especially the dialogue. The description and narrative more than enhanced the story and the sub-plot about the plague in England at this time was truly interesting. If you ask me, CKINGLUV, your saying you won't read Ms. Reding's work again is really doing her a favor. She doesn't need a reader like you, and neither do all the other authors whose work you have criticized unjustly.

A strong and wonderful writer

This is one of Jaclyn Reding's earlier books, and though she has gone on to later time periods since this one,her Restoration series is excellent. Every book I've read of hers shows careful research and strong writing. I read historical romance as much for the history as for the romance, and this author delivers both, always in interesting ways. Her history is accurate, and her characters have real, complex, intense emotions, all of which I think are part of a good historical romance. STEALING HEAVEN is well written, as all of her books are, and the story is compelling. Gillian and Dante are well defined characters, and very likable. Ms. Reding always writes with intelligence and sensitivity, which are important in a great romance. I enjoyed this story very much, and I will definitely read other books by her. This is an author to check out, and an author to remember!
