Perhaps someone that actually likes the Presents line should review these novels as it seems you don’t particulay like them at all.

Or more easily avoid them, as the case may be… I find these titles to be absolutely cringeworthy.

Maybe I was born in the wrong time period-but I'd much rather read the older book.

Amen to that, anon!

Elizabeth Cadell’s books have been my favorite comfort reads for years, I guess because they’re nuanced, sweet and well, gentle. They were originally published in the 1960s and even earlier and have always been the genre’s gold standard to me. I’d love to see her books back in print.

As a new author, I have to say I’ve found it all fascinating. I didn’t purposely sit down to write a horrible bastard. And yet some of you feel that way about him. A perfectly valid response, of course, because as readers you get what you get out of the book. If he didn’t work for you, I’m at fault.

I do hope you’ll try my next book. I don’t think Prince Nico Cavelli is a horrible bastard — he’s not out for revenge — but then again, I thought Alejandro had good reasons for his bastardy-ness, LOL! So I could be entirely deluded about the next one, but I still hope you’ll give it a try.

As for those titles, yeah. *sigh* But my next one has an entirely normal title: Cavelli’s Lost Heir.

Thanks so much for reading my first book! And for the C+. I’m quite tickled about that because I know how tough y’all are here. And thank you, Lynne. I’m sorry it didn’t work for you either, but I hope you’ll try the next one too.

Maybe I was born in the wrong time period–but I’d much rather read the older book. I think the golden age of romance was much further back than the 1970′s–back when people still knew how to be romantic. I’m sure there were plenty of boring books back then; but there’s some quality missing now. A sense of charm and mystery, maybe? I’m not sure. And maybe it is an unavoidable change in an increasingly “modern” world. Still, it makes me sad.

Alejandro demands her presence in Madrid or her entire company will be torn into little bits and sold off, putting hundreds of employees out of work. Rebecca concedes to his demands in hopes of negotiating at least one hotel from Alejandro. Alejandro blames Rebecca's abandonment of him five years ealier for all the unhappiness in his life but he's unsure of what he really wants from Rebecca other than to see her miserable.

So…this asshole is willing to put hundreds of people out of their jobs just because he’s in a sulk? Oh, grab him sweetheart, he’s a keeper. < /sarcasm>

I'm dying waiting for the next Napier release.

Me too! Though, I do have a few books from her backlist that I’m rationing.
