"The bluest of blood, the boldest of hearts; the de Montforte brothers will take your breath away."

England, 1776: Lord Gareth de Montforte is known as an irresponsible rake with a heart of gold. When he takes a bullet for boldly thwarting a stagecoach robbery, he is stunned to discover that the beautiful young woman he has heroically rescued, Juliet Paige, is his deceased brother's American fianc e, accompanied by her infant daughter. Despite his brother the duke's refusal to acknowledge Juliet, Gareth is determined to do right by the courageous woman who crossed an ocean to give her baby her rightful name. But Juliet is wary of marrying this black sheep aristocrat, even while she is hopelessly charmed by the dashing devil. Never has she met anyone who embraces life so thoroughly, who makes her laugh, who loves her so well. And, even when it seems the odds are against them, Juliet has absolute faith that Gareth will go beyond the call of duty, risking his life itself to give her and her daughter a home - and a love that will last a lifetime.

Customer Reviews

I absolutely LOVED this book! (4 3/4 stars)

I LOVED THIS STORY. I thought that Gareth was unbearably adorable..so he was a little immature at times, but he was only 23 and I for one, was thoroughly charmed by him. I adored watching him with Juliet and especially his interactions with little Charlotte. I thought that Juliet was his perfect match , though Ill admit that at first it worried me that she had been involved with his brother,but my fears were soon laid to rest as I watched their love grow. My only quibble with this book was that sometimes I felt like other aspects of the plot overshadowed the romance, but for the most part..I LOVED THIS.. A definite keeper..I cannot wait to move onto the next in the series!

This is one of the best romance books I have ever read

This is a book that moves right along. You will not be tempted to skip pages just to find something intresting. I had to keep myself from trying to peek at the end of the book.

Loved it, loved it, LOVED IT!!!!!

This book was a refreshing and welcome change from the romance novels that I've read lately. I couldn't put it down. The hero, Lord Gareth de Montforte, is everything that a hero should be and more: he's strong, he's sexy, he's charming, he's courageous, he loves kids, and he goes to heroic lengths to make a future for his wife and infant daughter, risking his life in the process and winning my heart as well! If you like fast-paced, sexy stories, unique characters, an unusual plot, and books set in England, you'll LOVE this book. I did!!!!

A stunningly good read!

Rarely does one find a romance that shows such character growth. Not to mention plenty of drama and humor. A terrific book.

A really terrific read!

In 1776 England, Lord Gareth de Monteforte, dubbed by the Ton as THE WILD ONE, lives life to the fullest. He gambels his life away as a hedonistic rake who lives each debauching night to its fullest. Even the news that his older brother Charles died while fighting at Concord hardly disrupts his gaiety. However, everything abruptly changes when Charles' fiancé, Juliet Paige, and her daughter her arrive from the colonies. Gareth is shocked when his oldest brother, Lucien, The Duke of Blackheath, wants to send the Bostonian back to the colonies. A dismayed Gareth steps in to intercede on behalf of the beautiful American and her child. This is exactly what that matchmaking Lucien was hoping would happen as his rogue of a brother falls in love and Juliet reciprocates. THE WILD ONE is a sensational Georgian romance that brings to life the English perspective of the conflict with the colonies at the onset of the Revolutionary War. The story line is poignant and the characters are very interesting to read about as they deal with their differences. Danelle Harmon has started her new series about the deMonteforte family with a home run that will leave readers looking forward to stories about the remaining siblings. Harriet Klausner
