Chronicle Concering Books Once and Always (Sequels #1)
Once and Always, one of Judith McNaught's most masterful and moving love stories, powerfully brings to life the fiery passion of a free-spirited American beauty and a troubled English lord.Suddenly orphaned and alone, Victoria Seaton sails the vast ocean, eager to reclaim her heritage at Wakefield, the sumptuous English estate of a distant cousin, the notorious Lord Jason Fielding. Bewildered by his arrogance yet drawn to his panther-like grace, she senses the painful memories that smolder in his eyes. When he gathers her at last into his arms, arousing a sweet, insistent hunger, they wed and are embraced by fierce, consuming joy -- free from the past's cruel grasp. Then, in a moment of anguish, Victoria discovers the treachery at the heart of their love . . . a love she had dreamed would triumph not just once, but always.

This book is not a 4 star story. Any book dealing with rape in such a careless manner only gets 1 star, at most.Victoria is a Mary Sue character who can do no wrong. Everyone loves her (and yes, I found her pleasing as well...at first). She is so terribly beautiful that we need to hear it described. A lot. And to compensate, and not make us believe her completely devoid of intelligence or heart, she is also presented as the most caring and brilliant person in the story. She can shoot, play cardsLast JM read for a while, my binge is over. :)))And as always she delivered a beautiful love story.
*breathes in* *breathes out*Oh, boy. Hate me all you want, but this story was utter bullshit to me. (Note: Emphasis on the "me" part, people. Before you slit my wrists and burn me at the stake, I want to make it clear that this is based on how I feel about the story. My opinions do not invalidate yours, so if you can't tolerate negative comments about this book, by all means don't read this review.)Manipulation. RAPE. Cheating. Verbal abuse. Violence. These are definitely elements of a great
LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it!!!!!!
I can't ever really get past a hero who rapes the heroine, especially as he did in this one, purposefully and in anger. Yes, he is scarred and tortured and apparently is judging ALL women by his first wife who was evil, even women like the heroine who has proved herself over and over not to be anything like his wife. He's had some awful life experiences. But is that any excuse to rape a woman? And not really ever apologize? I also hate a hero who cheats on his wife the way he does pretty far
You might as well get out your popcorn, because this promises to be entertaining. Over the past few days I have been stressed - incredibly stressed, and rightly so. As such, I didn't want to pick up any novels that required too much though, just mere enjoyment, and as I had enjoyed historical romance so much just a few months back when I binged on Lisa Kleypas's Hathaways Series, I decided to give some more titles a try this week. Needless to say, this has not been a particularly successful
5 STARS ❤❤❤❤❤OH... HOW I LOVE THIS BOOK!!![image error] And yet another masterpiece of historical romance. And what an emotional roller coaster ride it was. The passion and the angst are just dripping from every page. I was completely sucked into the story from beginning to end. These books words cannot express my love for them. Dont ever let anyone convince you that you can be happy with someone who doesnt love you. [image error] Victoria Seaton was born and raised in Portage, New York in
