Romance at its best

Melanie George is one of my most favorite authors and she never disapoints ever I first found Devil may care in the library and read it and after that knew I needed to own them myself although it was very hard to find them because I didnt know at the time they were out of print a backstep when you get a book from the library. I eventually found them all at a place called Half Price Books (go there if you cant find a book its usually there but be careful not always) and I bought the devil series which is the best and of course some of her others like Naughty or nice and pleasure seekers get them all any book written my Melanie George will be the best read you ever have believe me and I know I love to read enjoy her you will. She is absolutely 5 stars, but if there were more she would have infinite stars.

Ms George does it Again

This is a wonderful story of the power of love and trust. Bonnie is not afraid of the Devil himself, in this case Gray. She is attracted to him and is convinced that is not a killer. ...This is a definite keeper.

Sexy Hero!

I've read all the books in Ms. George's "Devil" series and have liked them equally. I thought I would end up reading 3 books that were identical, but this series was far from that. Each book was unique. In THE DEVIL'S DUE, Ms.George takes us on an high seas adventure, with Gray Sinclair being the beleaugered, tortured treasure hunter searching for a rare red diamond known as the sacred heart. Bonnie is Ms. George's usual high spirited heroine who takes no guff and could give a darn about the way a woman is "supposed" to act. I must admit, the ending took me by surprise (no peeking now!). Original and different, which is exactly what I've come to expect from this author.

Always A Pleasure to Read

Ms. George has done it again with a fast paced, excitingly, sexy and sensual novel pitting a beautiful hell-cat heroine with a sinfully handsome hero. This was not one of your run-of-the-mill Lord/Lady balls and sitting room type romances either but had adventure and excitement on the high seas. It had an emotional element based on Gray's scarred childhood, and yet, there was still Ms. Georges signature humor along with a cast of secondary characters and pets that make this one of her best novels yet. Bravo again Ms. George.

Best of the series! Very highly recommended

English sea Captain Gray Sinclair awakens thinking he has the hangover from hell until he finds the knot on the back of his head and the bars imprisoning him. Now in Scotland, he faces hanging for a murder he did not commit. The gravity situation is only lightened by the inability of the four brothers who hold him captive to be able to control their sister Bonnie MacTavish. Raised with only with male influence, Bonnie dresses, fights, and uses weapons like a man. With long fiery red hair, the spirited Bonnie entrances Gray. Bonnie is betrothed to a man of a neighboring clan, hoping to bring peace to a three-generation struggle. While she has serious misgivings about the marriage, she believes in putting her personal desires second in favor of her clan's needs. Certainly no man, especially not her fiancé, has caused the fierce desire she feels for the Englishman. Soon Bonnie doubts Gray's guilt, and when he's convicted, determines to free him. Gray kidnaps her instead. As they journey on Gray's quest to restore his family's fortunes, Bonnie's desire for Gray grows. The stronger her attraction for him becomes, the more fiercely she fights it.The youngest Sinclair finds quiet an adventurous path to love in THE DEVIL'S DUE. Prepare to burn the midnight oil with this fast paced plot of murder, high sea adventure, lost treasure and found love; while readers will find themselves a bit breathless, they will also find themselves immensely satisfied with this wonderful tale. Surprisingly, the high adventure never overwhelms the poignancy of the personal struggles of the hero and heroine. Strong sensuality and fierce family loyalty likewise heighten the reading experience. Indeed, THE DEVIL'S DUE is a bonnie romance that comes very highly recommended.
