England and Scotland, 1667

Jason Chase, the Marquess of Cainewood, is out to bring a blackguard to justice when he crosses paths with a woeful Scottish lad. When the lad turns out to be a lovely Scottish lass, he realizes she must be the notorious bounty hunter Emerald MacCallum. Convinced they're after the same man and her very life may be in danger, Jason decides he must keep Emerald close...

In Caithren Leslie's view, there couldn't be enough distance between her and the handsome but overbearing Englishman. She's searching for her wayward brother, but Jason won't let a little thing like the truth interfere with his absurd conviction that she's living under an assumed identity. Mindful of the dangerous traveling conditions, Cait grudgingly accepts his protection. Until, that is, she begins to suspect that mistrust isn't the only emotion between them...and their mission for justice just might turn out to be a quest for love...

EMERALD returns us to the world of the Chases in Restoration England. Colin and Amy's story in AMETHYST was so wonderful that I was probably one of the first in line to buy Jason's story.

Jason Chase, Marquess of Cainewood, takes personal responsibility and honor to new levels. He is really an incredible man. His devotion to family and tenents is matched in Caithren Leslie, who is determined to find her brother in order to save her family's land in Scotland. Their adventures on their journey across the English countryside are funny, passionate (when I got to the bit with the strawberry...oh my!), and chock-full of emotion. Once I started this book, I simply could not put it down. I was one chapter from the end when it was time for me to go out of town for a wedding, and I crammed the book into my case for that one last chapter rather than wait to finish it upon my return!

I would only change one thing about this novel...in the acknowledgements section, Royal thanks the source of Caithren's mother's "annoying...er, endearing" (or something to that effect) words of wisdom. I did not find the little Scottish proverbs annoying in themselves, but did Caithren always have to go around exclaiming "Michty me!"??? Got to be a bit much after a while, but not so much that I would knock a star off the review...!

If you liked AMETHYST, you'll certainly enjoy EMERALD, and, like me, you'll be waiting for AMBER, Kendra's story -- hopefully, Royal will also grace us with Ford's story...

5.0 �toiles sur 5 A vibrant and refreshing novel 10 octobre 2000

Par Harriet Klausner - Publi� sur Amazon.com

Format:Poche

In 1667 Chichester, England, the Marquess of Cainewood, Jason Chase, plans to bring Geoffrey Gothard to justice for the evil he did to two of Jason's villagers. Though Jason has plastered award notices throughout the country, he cannot sit idly by and wait for someone to bring Geoffrey to him. When Jason tries to apprehend the abominable Geoffrey, the latter grabs an innocent person as a shield before shooting the former. The shield died in the confrontation. Though not completely healed, Jason begins his quest anew.

In Leslie, Scotland, Caithren Leslie must marry within a year to inherit much of the estate. Otherwise, it reverts to her brother Adam, who has not been in the area in over five years. Wearing male garb, Cait heads to London to bring Adam home to take over the clan's lands. The Scottish "lad" meets Jason who realizes she is female. He thinks she is a bounty hunter after Geoffrey. She just wants to be rid of her new companion that she begins to fall in love with just like he does her.

EMERALD, the second Chase historical romance (see AMETHYST) is a passionate tale that brings late seventeenth century England vividly alive. The story line is fast-paced and filled with action from the very first page to the climax. The lead couple is an engaging duo who glitters when together. Sub-genre fans will appreciate Lauren Royal's second novel.

3.0 �toiles sur 5 I struggled with certain aspects of this book 12 janvier 2013

Par Sandy Milan - Publi� sur Amazon.com

Format:Format Kindle|Achat authentifi� par Amazon

What I love about the author's work is the attention to detail she gives to the historical aspects. I enjoy all the background she gives to the times she writes about. She crafts an interesting story in this book that has the reader totally engrossed and keen to find out what will happen next.

What I don't like is the modern attitudes her characters often have towards sex. The h was an absolute innocent at the start of the story and suddenly in the space of a few days she is actually sexually forward towards the H. I don't believe this to be at all realistic in light of the times she lived in, she was Scottish (therefore even more sheltered than she would have been in the court of King Charles) or how a sheltered virgin would behave. It would have been more believable for her to have been seduced given the intimacy of the travelling arrangements they shared on the way to London.
