Rendition During Books Flowers from the Storm
The Duke of Jervaulx was brilliant and dangerous. Considered dissolute, reckless, and extravagant, he was transparently referred to as the ′D of J′ in scandal sheets, where he and his various exploits featured with frequency. But sometimes the most womanising rake can be irresistible, and even his most casual attentions fascinated the sheltered Maddy Timms, quiet daughter of a simple mathematician.

I found the book to be "all suffering, all the time" (i.e. an over-abundance of serious
The more we love a book, the harder it is to write the review, right? I have to, with this one. This is not, by any means, an average romance book.

This book is so intriguing - yes, I am describing a romance novel as intriguing - from the beginning to the end. Because, the plot changes so quickly that it is hard to tell what is going to happen next.I have really loved the character of Christian. He is not the totally dashing and perfect hero of the most historical romance novels. His imperfection makes him human.(view spoiler)[He has earned my respect, in the end of the novel, when Maddy comes back to him, he tells that his character is not
