With This Kiss - A Romantic Times 'Top Pick'!
"Ms. Lynne weaves her magic to bring the reader a bit of poignancy along with a sexually charged romance in this very satisfying historical romantic suspense. Find a place for this one on your special shelf." -Romantic Times
Nominated for Romantic Times "Best Historical Romance"
"A smoldering Victorian era romance." -Booklist
"The unexpected twists in Ms. Lynne's newest historical entertain and satisfy."
-Publisher's Weekly
Plot Summary:
Beauty and the beast: they were the scandal of the ton. All eyes feasted on the beautiful flame-haired gambler in London's most infamous club. But Julia Prentisse was interested only in the rake-turned-recluse whom they now called "The Beast." She lured him out of the crowded club to a deserted warehouse, where she made her scandalous offer: If he married her and protected her from her uncle, she would help him capture the arsonist who had ruined his life.
An act of heroism had left Morgan St.James burned, scarred for life, but Julia's bold gaze lit other fires he had long suppressed. And now this glorious stranger was his bride. But when he tried to claim his husbandly rights, she demanded three months grace-three months to know a stranger's mind, to touch a stranger's soul, to go where no woman had ever gone before. Into his heart...
Reader Reviews (posted on Amazon):
"...Trust me: A fun read for lovers of romance, and CERTAINLY for lovers of the Beauty/Beast type story (which I am). This is the only book of Ms. Lynne's that I've read, but based on my enjoyment, I shall surely seek more."
"An excellent read-I loved it! I have never read Victoria Lynne before this book. You can bet I will from now on. This book was excellent and I couldn't put it down... If you like Jude Deveraux or Kathleen Woodiwiss, pick up this book!"
"This book is as great as the reviews! I am happy to say that it was a pleasure to read a romance that fulfills everything I look for in a novel...This was my first book by this author but I will by all means be looking for more."
"Surprisingly good! I received this book from my sister and thought it would prove to be just another trite formula romance. She said it was "really good," so I gave it a chance. She was right. It does have all of those necessary facets that make it a romance novel, but the writing is crisp and talented, the characters sizzle with a never flagging sexual tension, and the plot never sinks to feeling contrived or phoney. I enjoyed every page!"
"I loved this. I could write a long review of this book, but I won't. I will sum it up in as few words as possible. This story contained two extremely likeable characters. The dialogue between them was so entertaining and well-worded. I loved every encounter between them. Everything about this novel was real. I loved it, and I can truly say it is one of my favorite novels."
"Fabulous! With This Kiss had everything I look for in a romance-a tender hero, touching love scenes, a strong heroine, and even a mystery to solve. I will be hunting down this author's backlist."
"Fresh and rewarding...definitely get you hands on this book."
"This was an extremely well-written book, with believable characters and an interesting plot..."
