DESCRIPTION:
The year is 1815. Caine offers her protection instead, little suspecting that she is Pagan and her real object is to stay close so that she and her followers can defend him: traitors in the War Office, who tried to slay her brother as well as his, may now be after Caine too. There's too much heavy breathing in the book's first half, too many convoluted political intrigues in the second. The Marquess of Cainewood, hunting London's slums for the pirate Pagan whom he assumes killed his brother, traps instead a seemingly despairing young woman named Jade, who seeks to hire Caine to commit a murder--her own. Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Publishers Weekly Garwood fails here to integrate romance and mystery elements as effectively as she did in The Bride. . By the time their respective brothers reappear and the pursuit begins for the renegades, it's much too late for the reader to take any serious
No woman has ever befuddled him so, nor so deeply aroused his desire. New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood takes breathless sensuality to thrilling heights in this unforgettable adventure of passion and intrigue. The Marquess of Cainewood vows to hunt down the pirate wretch in revenge for his brother's death. But when Jade, an enchanting vision of rippling red hair and eyes of jewel-green, appears at his door to beg desperately for his protection, the Marquess agrees to keep her safe from the villains who want her dead. The Emerald flew across the seas, carrying the pirate Pagan - despised by the ton, whose riches he plundered, and beloved by the poor, whose plight was eased by his gifts. Jade is infuriating, exasperating, and gorgeous; Caine is noble, strong-willed, and powerful. But as Jade answers his knowing caresses with an innocent, wild abandon, they are drawn into a web of treachery that will test the very heart of their love!
Hero helped heroine heal from her fears, and proved to her love was worth the risk. Josey Rodz This is my favorite Julie Garwood book to this day.********CAUTION POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD> PLEASE STOP NOW IF YOU DON"T WANT READ ANY SPOILERS>THANKS**********Highly recommend this book. This hero is very dominant, sexual, possessive and alpha. Personally I feel he has been the most sexually aggressive heroes from all her books. The love scenes were scorching and he was very aggressive in his claiming. The heroine is supposed to be this hard core, independent female. Howe. JanetS said Love Julie Garwood. I have to disclose the fact that I am a Julie Garwood fanatic! I have easy every Julie Garwood book and most of them several times. With that said, my review may be somewhat biased because I love everything she writes. Guardian Angel is not my most favorite Garwood book, but it is right up there with the top.Jade is a wonderful heroine. She is independent, yet vulnerable and not pretentious or coy. And Caine is one of my favorite Garwood males. He is definitely an alpha ma. Love this series C L King Love this series and the way she interweaves the character's lives. Each story gives us a different dimension of the main characters. The characters are also well rounded with a range of emotions, vulnerabilities and history. Great for the male to profess love first. Really enjoy strong women with checkered past. Not just your weak, needy, orphaned virgin that requires a hero to make their life complete.
