Customer Reviews

fantastic Regency Era Historical.....

I'm so glad I picked this romance up despite it's embarrassingly cliche' "mostly nude couple" cover. Set in Regency England-this passionate, thrilling and heartwarming tale of Maggie and Nicholas was an enthralling read from beginning to end. While I agree with another reviewer that the storyline may have been a bit predictable-the story is told in such a well written way that that doesn't matter. I also enjoyed that the passionate scenes added, not detracted, from the love story. The secondary characters are fabulous in this story as well-a mark, in my opinion, of a quality romance. If you like highly romantic, adventuresome stories ala' vintage Johanna Lindsey and Catherine Coulter, then I think you will like this book. Sensuality rating-8-pretty detailed and steamy. 5 stars-recommended.

I enjoyed it...

Description from back of book: White Roses...Planted at the scene of every crime, the fragrant flowers were the trademark of a devious criminal. A jewel thief was stalking London, and Lord Nicholas Grey was certain the thief was his cousin and his enemy-Lord Edward Turner. Determined to capture the daring burglar, the Marques hunted his prey, but found himself distracted by a pair of rich brown eyes and an enchanting smile. White Lies...Margaret Alston had turned to thievery to sow the seeds of vengeance. Determined to destroy the man who had tried to ruin her, The White Rose found her plans uprooted by her enemy's cousin-Lord Nicholas Grey. Stunned by the dashing aristocrat's kiss, Maggie found that in his arms she blossomed. And though she knew he would unearth her secrets if she gave him her heart, the pain of love's thorns could never outweigh its beauty. * Although I didn't LOVE this book it was interesting enough to keep me going. This book was very predictable & I didn't find any mystery in it.

More books like this one please!

This was a great book that kept me glued to the pages from start to finish. I am a big fan of romance novels and I have read many. This one is definitely at the top of my list. I hope that there will be more books by Janet Nickoles available soon!

Delightful Surprise!

I picked up this book intrigued by the back cover synopsis, not familiar with the author, since I am an avid reader of Kathleen Woodwiss, Jill Barnett and especially Judith McNaught. This book was a great surprise! It held the same intelligence, humour and romance as my favorite authors. I loved the characters especially the heroine, whom I felt was not traditionally written. She seems to mirror the traits of a "male hero" while still being feminine and beautiful. I couldn't put the book down. It made me smile at the end. Looking forward to other books by Joyce Nickoles.

I think this was a great book.

This book has all the elements in it: myustery, secrecy, love, and a great supporting cast. The character of the villian is one of the best I have ever read in a story like this one.
