I READ ON AN AVERAGE 20 BOOKS A MONTH, MOSTLY HISTORICAL ROMANCE. THIS IS MY FIRST CAROLYN JEWEL. I LOVE THE STORY LINE BUT THE WRITING STYLE HAS ME A LITTLE CONFUSED. I FELT LIKE AN OUTSIDER LOOKING IN. THE WRITING WAS DISJOINTED AND LEFT ME CONFUSED ENOUGH TO HAVE TO GO BACK AND REREAD PARAGRAPHS. THE HERO WAS GREAT, THE HEROINE WAS A LITTLE ON THE WIMPY SIDE. I FINSHED THE BOOK BECAUSE I WANTED TO KNOW HOW IT ENDED. GREAT BOOK FOR STRAIGHT ROMANCE READERS.

Set in London with a mystery subplot, Jewel does a remarkable job telling the story of two very different characters from England's Regency society and the passionate development of their personal relationship.

Carolyn Jewel weaves a wonderful tale of love, murder, intrigue, and deception in this beautifully written regency historical. Lord Ruin is just downright yummy, and the heroine smart and with enough panache to stand up to him. Retelling the circumstances of their hasty wedding would be a spoiler, but suffice it to say, I loved, loved, loved the entire set up. Deliciously sexy without being too explicit, my heart was beating at an increased rhythm. A must read for all historical romance fans.

The mystery kept me guessing. The characters were all too human & I found myself rooting for them...even one of the villians. You will not be disappointed. Give "Lord Ruin" a chance.

What a beautiful and endearing novel. I loved every minute of this book, the characters, the setting, holy smokes it grabs you by the throat in the first chapter and runs you through until the end.
From the start you believe one thing and even in the thick of it you aren't sure what will happen, but you are led through such a beautiful and moving tale of change and redemption, which is one of my favorite story lines in romance.
I recommend this book to anyone who loves historical romance, as well as redemption. The love scenes start from the beginning and hold their heat and importance throughout.

This is one of my favorite Regency romances. The characters are really interesting; I especially love the heroine, who is in the shadow of her sisters and not used to going after what she wants. The sexual chemistry between Ann and Ruan is powerful, but they have to learn to balance that with mutual respect. There are some great twists in this story, too. It's hard to put down!

The story and characters were fun but the writing style was terrible. Sentence structure, incorrect words (cord instead of chord) and other grammatical errors drove me crazy.
