Very Pleasing Read!

England 1814 THE WEDDING NIGHT OF AN ENDLISH ROGUE is a very sensual tale of reclaiming one's first true love. Very enjoyable!

Very romantic - I really loved this book.

For me this was the kind of book I truly love to read. The couple had fallen in what appeared to both of them to be lust several years before when neither of them were quite sure of the others true feelings. But they both lived with their romantic encounter and it never truly left them. They both regretted that they had not taken a few different actions afterwards that might have changed the course of their lives. So 6 years later Julia and Heath are once again thrown together although she is engaged to another, Russel and Russel has asked Heath to guard Julia while he chases after a French spy. Heath cannot believe it - he is supposed to guard this woman that he has not forgotten - and has measured all other women since. Soon the couple will be forced to test their feelings for each other once again. It is just so romantic and sexual and heated. You can feel this couple just explode right off the pages. I loved how they both remembered their encounter and they both truly regretted that they had not been honest with their feelings. It is great that they are given this second chance at love. The Boscastle men are one sexy charming family of rogues that seem to be absolutely wonderful husband material when they find the right woman. For Heath no other woman but Julia will do and he truly had me melting for him as he seduced Julia right into his bed! Great sexy historical romance!!!

...lick your lips...uummm

I picked this book up and devoured it in a day. The story grabbed me from the start, saucy characters, and great plot twists. It is a fun, escape from reality read.This is a story of unrequited love and passion that will keep you glued to it till end. The dialogue was Hunter at her best...witty and amusing. The plot moved along at a great pace. Full of enjoyable supporting characters and stories.Both characters felt "real" and made me believe they were in love with one another deeply. Both had great senses of humor too, which is always a plus. This book had everything you need to create a good romance: a dashing hero, a beautiful heroine and, most of all...PASSION! This book is sharp and fast-moving. Filled with Lovable characters, exciting and not too heavy action-mystery twists. Lots of laugh out-loud, I-can't-believe-they-did-that scenes and oh so plenty of heart warming moments. This was just the kind of romance novel I love. Wonderful characters. Characters that seems real because they are not perfect-something most novels like this lack. I absolutely loved this book. The author has a great gift in her ability to develop characters. I must have laughed a hundred times and I absolutely couldn't put the book down until I was finished. Wonderfully written! And very sexy Historical Romance book. I loved, loved ,loved this book!!! This book is by far my favorite of the series.

The last of the trilogy

From the inside flap of the paperback edition Lord Heath Boscastle's attraction for Julia Hepworth begins with a bang. She shoots him at a hunting party-accidentally, of course. Though the shot grazes his shoulder, her beauty pierces his heart. Sparks fly soon after when they find themselves dangerously close to a compromising position. Too inexperienced to understand such overwhelming emotions, Heath and Julia part ways. Now, years later, Heath is a high-ranking intelligence officer, asked to protect his commander's fiancée, Julia, while he chases down an elusive spy. Heath quickly regrets his promise when he meets Julia again-and their mutual desire still burns hotter than ever. Of course he will protect her. There is danger in the air. And Heath would never think of betraying his friend, until he learns that Julia herself has been betrayed. Suddenly seduction Boscastle style is the name of the game. Yet Julia has a trick or two up her own sleeve-and is determined to be a player, and not a mere pawn, in his wicked game. This is the last volume of the trilogy about the Boscastles, starting with The Seduction of An English Scoundrel and followed by The Love Affair of an English Lord. If you liked those two you would surely enjoy reading this one. Not much in the innovation line, the plot presents the usual irresistible alpha-male and the strong heroine. Still, a good reading for Regency fans.

A Great Conclusion - Leaves You Wanting More!

In THE WEDDING NIGHT OF AN ENGLISH ROGUE, we meet yet another Boscastle family member in Jillian Hunter's conclusion to her latest trilogy. Heath Boscastle is every bit as much fun as Grayson and Chloe had been in the previous books, THE SEDUCTION OF AN ENGLISH SCOUNDREL and THE LOVE AFFAIR OF AN ENGLISH LORD. Six years after Heath Boscastle encounters Julia Hepworth, he is asked to be her bodyguard by his commanding officer, Russell Althorne. Seems Althorne saved his life so Heath owes him a favor. Little does Althorne know that Heath and Julia had a romantic encounter that neither has been able to forget in the ensuing years. Reluctantly Heath agrees and the rekindling of their romantic feelings begins. But this is more than a typical historical romance. Hunter likes to keep the reader guessing, so she adds a bit of suspense. Seems Althorne is on the heels of a diabolical villain, Armond Auclair, a Frenchman who enjoys torturing his captives. Heath had been captured by Auclair and barely survived, only to be rescued by Russell Althorne and a friend and fellow soldier, Hamm. Althorne believes Auclair is in France, but when Julia begins to have encounters with a stranger, Heath wonders if Auclair isn't behind the meetings. Jillian Hunter brings back some of her characters from the two previous books, much to my happiness. Grayson Boscastle and his lovely wife, Jane, show us that life has not changed for them. They are still witty, fun, and very much in love. Unfortunately we were only given a glimpse of Chloe and Dominick, but I'm hoping Hunter gives us a glimpse into their lives in the future. Hunter has created the Boscastles who rival Nora Roberts' MacGregor clan. Each Boscastle is unique, but all possess the verve for life that set them apart from others. Seldom is the reader entertained to this extent by the shenanigans of so many amusing people. The Boscastle's knack for finding themselves in interesting but scandalous situations will leave you laughing. One excellent example is Julia having her nude caricature of Heath stolen and then published in a pamphlet distributed all over London. It was pure enjoyment each time someone mentioned that drawing to Heath and I loved reading about him squirming his way into an explanation that would not disgrace he or Julia. Jillian Hunter continues to shine with THE WEDDING NIGHT OF AN ENGLISH ROGUE. Her humor is at the forefront and leaves the reader wanting more at the end of the book. I hope she continues with the dramatics of this energetic family in the near future!
