I loved MUCH ADO ABOUT JACK by an amazing author, Christy
English. The year is 1818, England, and Angelique Beauchamp
Countess of Devonshire has been widowed for some time now.
She claims she will never marry again. She is a wealthy
woman in her own right; she owns a ship, holds the title as
Countess of Devonshire, and she does not care what the Ton
has to say about her comings-and-goings, her affairs or
anything she does in her life. She's been hurt in two love
affairs after her husband died, and she no longer wishes for
it to happen again. But when she meets Captain James
Montgomery, Angelique finds it very hard to say no to James.
She will not give in so easy, but James will not give up on
her.
When James meets the widow Angelique, he finds her most
interesting. He loves her inner strength and finds himself
so drawn to her, that he would put the sea behind him. The
sea is the love of his life, but now with this most
intriguing woman, he won't let her go. He's arrogant and
she's one tough woman, but will they connect and make a life
together?
MUCH ADO ABOUT JACK, I believe, is part of the
Shakespeare in Love trilogy by Christy English, and
wow, it's one hottie-of-a-read, which I enjoyed! MUCH ADO
ABOUT JACK has great characters, romance, and lust galore!
Angelique and James can make lightening and thunder in their
bed, forget about Mother Nature! There's also a bit of
intrigue, and Angelique thinks she can take care of it
herself. As she and James become closer, she is fully aware
that this man is her protector now and maybe forever. I
loved MUCH ADO ABOUT JACK, and I will read it again. This is
a recommended read!
1. Vow to NEVER remarry 2. Own a
ship and become fabulously wealthy 3. Wear the latest
risqué fashions in your signature color 4. Do NOT have a
liaison at the Prince Regent's palace with a naval captain
whose broad shoulders and green eyes make you forget Rule
#1
Angelique Beauchamp, the widowed Countess of
Devonshire, has been twice burned by love, and she is
certain that no man will ever touch her heart again. But
that doesn't mean she can't indulge a little—and it would be
hard to find a more perfect dalliance than one with the
dashing Captain James Montgomery.
After a brief
torrid affair, James tries to forget Angelique and his
undeniable thirst for more. The luscious lady was quite
clear that their liaison was temporary. But for the first
time, the lure of the sea isn't powerful enough to keep him
away...
