** spoiler alert ** Re-read June 2013
I loved the book even more the 3rd time. I had to give the book another star- definitely more of a 5 star read for me then a 4 star read. I found that I really liked Jesse even more this re-read, if that was even possible. And, I loved Abigails lesson in the book which was that sometimes what you think you need and what you actually need can be two entirely different things. Still an amazing book!! Lavyrle needs to come out of retirement!!!!!


October, 2010
I really liked it! Jesse was an uber-alpha and I loved every minute of it!!! Well, did I like the gun stunt...no....but Jesse was a bit rough around the edges. I love a fictional bad boy, but thats me.

I love the fact that Lavyrle's characters seem so real, they're never one dimensional. Here you think all of these things about Jesse and find out the complete opposite, which includes all that passion under a steely exterior (love that!). The same for Abigail- she's a bit too prim and proper, but after meeting Jesse--she changes a bit--yearning for more out of life.

I would recommend it, but with a warning...the characters aren't perfect, nor should they be. That was part of what I loved about them.

My fourth Lavyrle book and she's quickly becoming addictive. If you like historicals and haven't read one of her historicals, treat yourself!

Tammy Walton Grant Gigi!!! My favourite! Can't wait to see what you think!


Gigi LOVED IT!!


Tammy Walton Grant Glad to hear it, are you going to write a review?


Gigi I may. I like to wait a little to let the book digest sometimes.


Tammy Walton Grant I'll watch for it -- I'm thinking it's almost time for my annual re-read. Love that Jesse...


Gigi My favorite part was the whole hotel room photograph scene, especially the I love you's. Jesse was awesome! Rough around the edges! Now, I want to read another LS book! So, now I'm listening to The Gamble.


Tammy Walton Grant My favourite part was in her kitchen, when he's been standing outside waiting for her.

No wait, it was the photograph scene...

Nope, the scene where she goes to him and they get together for the first time...

Sigh. Yup, time for a re-read.

Let me know how you like the Gamble. Have you read Morning Glory or Twice Loved yet?


Gigi LOL! All of those were great scenes! It was interesting to me how assertive he was and vulnerable at the same time. His moments of vulnerability stand out for me as well. Like when they were arguing and she threw the lye-soaked towel and it wrapped around his face accidentally. And he says to her in the rocking chair (loved the rocking chair interaction), "you didn't really want to burn me, did you?" Awwww!


Gigi Funny that you mentioned Twice Loved. I just bought the kindle edition yesterday. I have Morning Glory, but I haven't read either yet. I'm definitely looking forward to reading them.
