Such a good book

I gave this a 5 star because I started reading it and did not stop until the wee hours of the morning. So good. Karen Robards is such a good author, I have only read her other book Nobody's Angel but they were both excellent. I am totally going to look for her other historicals.

This book is sooo good!

This was my first romance book ever and It got me hooked on romances! I love how Alec falls in love with Isabella. The hero and the Herione are perfect for eachother; they each have horrible tempers, lol. The way Alec is described in this book makes you think of him as a Greek God let alone a human. But he is not thought of as a gentleman in his society as Isabella is thought of as a lady. He refers to himself as a gutter rat, he started his businesses from nothing but pure determination, which makes the reader like him even more. He is wealthy all by himself so you know he isn't after Isabella's money at all. He feels that he is not good enough for Isabella because of his upbringing, but he is so sweet and when he gets angry at her- he always means to punish her with a kiss, lol. I love how after Isabella and him first are together, he looks at pearl's (this is his mistress who he's had for a while) body without being moved by it at all, only Isabella really interested him now. JUST READ THIS BOOK! It is really good. It has romance and alot of action. And the romance between Alec and Isabella is so heartreanching and beautiful. I was so upset when Isabella was saying things to Alec that she knew would hurt him so that she could be noble and later he does the same thing. I admit that there was a scene at the end where Alec was with some people I didn't approve of, but no novel is perfect. This is the best romance I've read so far. Alec persues Isabella no matter how many times she tries to evade him; he just can't leave her alone until he knows she is safe; he even says he wants her around so that she can be his tutor. I find that so sweet that he can't be without her. Even though Isabella was married when she had an affair with Alec; it works and I don't feel sorry for the husband. You'll know why when you read it. If you like this one, you'll also like Loving Julia by Karen Robards

One of Karen Robards's Best!

This book has been on my list of favorite historical romances for years; I re-read it recently because I was getting burned out on the more recent offerings in the genre. It still stands out as a superior and fun read, full of action, adventure and romance. My favorite part of the book is the hero, Alec Tyron. Alec is the "King of the London Underworld" (which, I agree, does not sound all that romantic)--a street orphan who has pulled himself up from the London gutters by virtue of his quick wits and good instincts. He is also loyal, gorgeous (that never hurts in a romantic hero!), amazingly sensitive and has a good sense of humor. He is a hard, self-made man with an endearing streak of insecurity (a la Derek Craven from Lisa Kleypas's "Dreaming of You".) The heroine, Lady Isabella St. Just, is the sheltered, lonely, unwanted wife of a libertine earl who meets up with Alec when he "rescues" her from a botched kidnapping/murder attempt. The relationship of Alec and Isabella is very well developed and believable (but will *not* please readers who hate adultery in their romance novels). Neglected by her father and her husband, Isabella has come to regard herself as unattractive and unlovable, yet she is never a whiny victim. It is a pleasure to watch her blossom and gain confidence under Alec's protective care. While "Tiger's Eye" is not a perfect book (Alec's profession is really *very* unsavory and dangerous and this is never truly addressed, and Isabella does a bit *too* much protesting at certain points in the book), it is a very well-written story with a fabulous hero and pretty hot romance. It is a definite *keeper* for me and I highly recommend it to readers who love historical romance.

The best book ever!

I have read many books, as of yet, I have never read one as good as this! Tigers Eye is the most beautiful book you will ever read! The heroine Isabella, is kidnapped and meant to be "done away with", fortunately for her, Alec "the Tiger" Tyrone is the one who should be "doing away" with her. This is a cute and hilarious novel of "rich girl", meets "poor boy", although Alec is far from a Boy. Two people, who are as different as night from day, fall in love in this beautiful tale. Travel with them throughout England and Europe as we follow them into their deep love. You will laugh and cry with them, and you will be very sad when this book ends. You must read it to believe it. I recommend this book for all the romantics out there. You must meet Isabella and Alec (the dreamiest man alive). You will not be disapointed.

Robards makes you want to believe in love. . . .

I absolutely loved Alec. He wasn't the traditional perfect hero, but so beautiful and sexy. Isabella was adorable, and you feel absolutely everything she does. In certain scenes you just have laugh aloud. These two are so wonderful together and you actually understand why they have fallen in love, which few other romance novels fail to do convincingly. The very last scene is mind-blowing.
