[.ca] The Raider (ISBN 0671743813)

The Scarlet Pimpernel-Devereaux Style:
One of Jude Devereaux's best books. Another Montgomery, Alexander, is the town buffoon by day, the dashing Raider who steals the heart of Jessica Taggert by night. Great when she finally falls in love with Alex's soul, not his face. Jude should stick to classic stories like this.

Stick with it - You'll be glad you finished it:
I did enjoy this book even though I was ready to through it in at times. Deveraux kept me curious - I had to find out when and how Alex's secret would be discovered. I must say that at times I was annoyed like "enough already, tell Jess the truth." As well as could she be that dense to not figure it out on her own? Even though I felt it dragged the anticipation a bit thin, I am glad I finished it - I did enjoy it. Give it a chance and I hope you will too!

SO GOOD:
This was my first Jude Deveraux book and I read it years ago and 2 days ago I got bored and picked it up again. It's action packed humorous and very very romantic. With this book I found the love scenes to be very hot and steamy! but Alex Montgomery is one of the main characters that keep Jessica Taggert on her toes in utter confusion. There's never a dull moment and the end was absolutely hilarious I wish it had been a little bit longer, but nevertheless it's a good read.

I HAVE ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE THIS BOOK: "YAWN":
This book was very boring. There wasn't anything about it that made it stand out from other books. JD usually writes good romances but i think that this was one of her worst. I didn't finish this book... I saw no point to it.

Absolutely Fabulous:
I loved this book. This was the first Jude Deveraux book I bought and I am a fan for life. This book has become one of my favorites. Eventhough the one sex scene in it is written poorly it is still a triumph of a book. Within the first few pages I was hooked to the characters. When I opened the book I was immediately transported to 1766. It was nice to read a well written romance. The book was romantic as well as hilarious. I found myself laghing outloud one minute and the next minute saying "awww". I finished this book in half a day because I couldn't put it down. Right now my book is with my friends because they wanted to read it and trust me they all love it as well. I totally recommend this book to anyone!
