Description In Pursuance Of 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.

Oh, how to review this and not say something that's been said 100 times by all the other reviewers? The powerful, brilliant and oh-so-sexy The Duke of Jervaulx has a stroke of sorts, but his family thinks he's lost his mind and shuts him away for his own good - and no one to believe he's not insane and dangerous - until Quaker Maddy Tims comes to Blythedale to help her uncle. "She lifted her head. He wasnt a two-year-old. He had not lost his reason. He isnt mad; he is maddened." That's about all22 November 2018This magnificent audiobook is on sale to Audible members for $4.95 at audible.com until 26 November.

A thousand?My GR friend Caz opened her review of this audiobook by saying, Its absolutely fantastic, so go and buy it immediately! I can only add that this is an understatement.I read this book in
Slowly the realization came to her. "He isn't mad. He is maddened." 4.5 stars. The Saint and the Sinner. The Pilgrim's Progress. Paradise Lost and Found. This one is DEFINITELY on my favorites shelf, despite some quibbles. I've read it numerous times. I've considered keeping a copy stashed in the bathroom. More recently, I listened to Nicholas Boulton's wondrous narration.Try my quiz! https://www.goodreads.com/quizzes/res...Contents: Several sex scenes, somewhat explicit. Some swearing and
This would have been five stars, if not for Maddie and her obsession with her religion. She started out more open minded, then became less so, which I found strange, since she was supposedly growing more in love with Christian the farther along in the book. Sometimes she's also a little too mean for my liking...I just felt so bad for Christian, I wanted to protect him and put him in this little bubble of safety. I seriously felt his pain as if it were my own. This is one the most UNIQUE romance
I don't always read books with bare chested macho men on the cover, but when I do I read Laura Kinsale... This book has a number of covers without such a picture but just my luck when I swapped for this book and received the bare-chested-man-hair blowing-in-the-wind edition! So it took me a while to start this assuming it might be cheesy. Perhaps the publishers do a disservice to the literary merit of this work by using such covers? Anyway, the writing in this book is just overflowing with

My review is a cheesy, rambling, hot mess, so read at your own risk.With any book I read, I hope to connect with the hero and heroine, to feel what it is the author is trying to convey. Well, I didnt have to try hard at all with this story, and no matter how many times Ive attempted to write this review, I find myself in tears. And, as odd
I did NOT want to read this book, I mean, a Quaker chick?! A dude who can't speak?! Bleck!Well, this is a hot mess of awesome, everything but the kitchen sink is thrown into this dense plot, but in a GOOD way! Characters are great, plot very taunt and gripping (not talking about the sex scenes either, HAR HAR ;) ) I enjoyed it thoroughly and have several other books by the author on my Kindle, including Shadow and the Star, a Victorian romance where the guy is a child prostitution survivor and a
