The Hunter (The Forbidden Game, #1)

Julian is one of the sexiest characters in the whole of literature, seriously. Even if the story hadn't been a wonderful and gripping adventure with an array of colourful and interesting characters, it would still have been worth the read for Julian. But that aside, the book was wonderful, as soon as I finished it I instantly picked up the sequal. What a great and original story, a bit scary in parts but always entertaining - I couldn't put it down.

Agreed! I should really read these again...
I am so gonna re-read as soon as i am done with the exams
This trilogy is a torture. T.T I can't help feeling every single cell in my body root for Julian. I've never loved a character like him. /sigh.

Julian was the best for her and she couldn't see it because she just couldn't see past his impulsive cockiness. too bad
Does the main charecter fall in love with the villain? 'Cause it seems like it from the way you guys are describing it.

There is a reason why L.J. Smith was my favorite author growing up, esp. when it came to romance. She's what got me into the whole "villain falling for heroine" plotline. Really, this author knows how to write a sexy villain fixating over the heroine without turning him into a wimp.So many other books attempt this idea and fail: Oftentimes, the "villain" is really a misguided hero and not all that bad.
Julian, up to the end of the trilogy, really is the main antagonist of this story and the fact that he happens to love Jenny so much makes him a rarity. I can't think of many books back in the 90s where the main villain's motive was to make the heroine stay with him forever instead of trying to take over the world. As a hopeless romantic, a well-written book with this theme is a godsend!
My two favorite scenes were when Julian impersonated as Jenny's cousin to trick her into making out with him and his heart-wrenching confession to her about his feelings in the third book. His love pained me so much that upon finishing the trilogy, I fell in love with the name, "Julian." I love the name because of this character -sexy doesn't even begin to describe him.
She should have stayed with him.!!
Oh thank god I’m not the only one who loved Julian! LJ Smith really knows how to mess with her readers. Tom was just so bland in comparison to him!
Omg i also love the name because of this book haha
