The tempestuous marriage of Alexandra Lawrence, an innocent country girl, and Jordan Townsende, the rich and powerful Duke of Hawthorne faces its ultimate tests making this book a winner for me. No one does angst like JM does!

I read the "sequel" before this one but I enjoyed going back to learn about Alex and Jordan.
However, Alex and Jordan seemed really similar to Elizabeth and Ian. Well, particularly Jordan and Ian.
I appreciate that in both of the books the females are extremely strong yet compassionate people, especially for the time period. (That's something about Almost Heaven that bugged me -- I had a heck of a time pinning down the time period. In Something Wonderful it was clear much earlier.)
I can rate books by how drastically they mess with my schedule. For complete inconvenience it's a 10 -- I pulled one of my rare all-nighters. I have forbidden myself to start the next book by Judith McNaught until I've finished all my summer homework. That in itself says something for the book and the addictive quality of the writing. Also, perhaps I'm just going insane, but does anyone else have trouble eating when they're thinking about a good book? As if your body is shutting off its needs to give you more time to read? It happened to me with both of these books, as well as the Twilight saga. Perhaps it's my guilt. Who knows.
If you're into romance and a guilty pleasure read, this book is for you, along with Almost Heaven.
One last note: WHY must romance novels have titles that SOUND like romance novels? To heighten the embarrassment of falling so low?

This is the second series that I am reading from this author. I am not a fan of any of her heros in the books. But Jordan was the best out of the lot. Once again the hero is boorish, arrogant and mistrusting. As with her other books that I have read, the heroine is unfairly judged by the hero and treated deplorably.
I feel that this book was longer than necessary. So much hurt and drama could have been prevented if the hero and heroine would simply have an open and honest conversation.
As always the story was interesting.
