If you are a fan of fantasy and adventure stories, I highly recommend this book. I would suggest that you read book 1 first, but this is a standalone on it's own, even if you don't. Saturday night when I finished the book, hungrily wanting more, I decided I'd read the Acknowledgements.

This is something I don't normally do, but I felt compelled to do so this time. When I got to the third page of the Acknowledgements, there, to my shock and surprise and a great deal of joy was my name. Thank you very much, Robert for this gracious acknowledgement. This means a lot to me. Nov 20, M. Kenning rated it it was amazing. Picking up right where the last one left off; this Rock and roll Fantasy Epic was hard to put down.

No time is wasted launching back into the narrative, and al your favorite characters are back. Some new characters are i Picking up right where the last one left off; this Rock and roll Fantasy Epic was hard to put down. One of the things I like about this novel was also how minor characters barely touched upon in the first book gain importance and flesh out into larger roles.

The author keeps this a page turner primarily through strong characterization. Each individual has their own strengths and weaknesses, and none are easily pigeon holed into flat stereotypes. My one caveat was that in the middle of the book it was hard to see where the focus of this book was, and what the centralized plot was. All the previous threads do tie up nicely together however into a great crescendo at the end. Four and a Half out of Five Stars Dec 17, Mireille Chester rated it it was amazing. I have to start this review by saying that Robert Eaton has done it again.

I absolutely love his writing. Darcy's story continues in this second book and even though he's filled with the evil of Angra-Jyn, I love that you can still see his human side trying to come through. Ara's quest to save her family is full of adventure.

Brianna's journey into discovering herself is quite a game turner. I really liked that she came to play such a big part in this novel. There's some fun bait-and-switch storytelling that the wife enjoyed, but she found herself annoyed with editing errors, and modern colloquial slang. The modern elements dress sizes, high-heeled shoes in fashion in an otherwise warrior oriented society didn't seem to mesh well for her. She enjoyed the humorous tone of the beginning, and was tickled when it morphed into something darker, but she didn't find any of the characters to be especially compelling, and elements of the Review from the wife.

She enjoyed the humorous tone of the beginning, and was tickled when it morphed into something darker, but she didn't find any of the characters to be especially compelling, and elements of the culture did not seem fully realized. She felt that the author didn't actually consider WHY those people would develop the society they had, and it just made it feel less real.

She thought it had potential, but mentioned that it could have used another draft or two to smooth transitions, weed out editing errors, and connect the dots between events a little more thoroughly. She never felt that the threads of the cultures and characters really came together in an organic way. Then something else happened Then something happened after that. No real links or causes, or connections to the characters. Her word for the overall story and worldbuilding was "unfinished. Jul 04, M Todd Gallowglas rated it really liked it.

This book is awesome. It's a perfect blend of traditional fantasy mixed with modern sensibilities. He teases out the story, giving just the right information at the right time so that when the big secrets are revealed, I found myself blinking in surprise, somewhat ashamed that I didn't pick up on the twists and turns.

He gives the reader all the information needed to predict many of these swerves ahead of time, but do This book is awesome. He gives the reader all the information needed to predict many of these swerves ahead of time, but does so deftly and subtly within the narrative that they come as a shock. I really can't give out any details about the story arch, because that will ruin the surprises for you.

I will say this: I was fully invested in pretty much every character on both sides of the conflict. Eaton does a great ob of painting both protagonists and antagonists in such a light that it's easy to identify and sympathize with them all. Is it a perfect book? But then, I believe there are no perfect books. Get lost in the adventure. See if you can figure out what's going on ahead of time. If you do, you payed closer attention than I did. Dec 19, Karen rated it really liked it. The Hero Always Wins is a wonderful fantasy tale that brings to mind many of the epic tales that we have seen on the shelves with a major difference.

There are so many twists and turns that help to keep the story engaging and keeps the reader on their mental toes! Our hero, Darcy, is a new knight and longs to save his lands and people. The frustration he feels at being able to help everyone is palpitate and his struggles as he adjusts to his role as The Hero.

The mystery intertwined within the story only serves to make the reading more enjoyable. I was completely hooked and I eagerly await the next installment in the series. This novel is a great first book from an up and coming author. I highly recommend it for anyone who is a fan of great fantasy. Sep 07, Daniella rated it liked it Recommends it for: Sword and sorcery and lesbians?

Engaging starving orphan eyes--please, sir, I want some more! Where the hell is the sequel? I need to know if Carys and Arabella ever get it oooon. I mean, um, declare their deep and abiding love for one another. Yep, totally meant that. Okay, let me get serious. Not that I'm not serious about the girl-lovin', of course, because Have you met me? Anyway, here's the deal: I can't pretend this book is Sword and sorcery? I can't pretend this book is perfect. If I'm honest--and I always am, whether you like it or not--it could use some work.

You can definitely tell it's self-published, because it suffers throughout from a lot of simple typographical errors, missing words, confused syntax, that sort of thing, as well as a handful of formatting flubs that I feel confident would have been caught and corrected by any half-competent editor. And I say that in no way intending to belittle or disrespect the people mentioned in the acknowledgements section whom the author had proofread for him; I'm sure they did the job to the best of their ability, but the fact is that there is a difference, clearly, between what can be accomplished by an amateur compared to what can be accomplished by a professional.

As further evidence of this point, my biggest complaint about this book is not the basic typos, or the rest of the aforementioned, but rather that large portions of the narrative read like a summary. I will be the first to admit that Show, Don't Tell is NOT an ironclad rule of writing, as some would have us believe; it's more of a guideline, which some writers would do well to follow less strenuously.

And that pisses me off, quite frankly, because you know what? This book has a hell of a lot of potential. I didn't really get into it until about page 70 or so, but after that I started being pretty impressed with Robert Eaton as a writer. Despite the brevity of this book, he managed to lay the foundation for a really intriguing magical saga, with at least three concurrent storylines, and evoked some pretty badass imagery while he was at it. It would almost sneak up on me sometimes.

And while we're on the subject of things sneaking up on me, can I just take a minute to discuss the subtle mindfuckery that goes on in this book? I don't want to give too much away and spoil the story, but let's just say that the person you think you're supposed to be rooting for ends up being, well, not.

And someone you assume is only a bit player and basically disregard for at least a third of the story, if not closer to half, actually ends up being of central importance to the plot. The effect is that, by the end of the book, you're left going, "Hey, wait just a goddamn minute! Or at least I didn't.

I read a lot, and I'm used to seeing the same old tired tropes trotted out over and over and over again, so I thought I knew what was going to happen. And that, I think, is pretty fucking cool. In the acknowledgements, Eaton states that he wrote this book as a hobby. Well, if this is what he turns out for a hobby, I would love to see what he could produce if he approached a book as a serious, concerted project. And what I would really enjoy seeing is if, at some point, he had the time and inclination to expand this book into the epic it deserves to be, with deeper explanations of the lore involved, the magic and how it works, and those bare bones sections fleshed out to tell a more comprehensive and elaborate story.

But I realize, of course, that what I want to happen and what is actually going to happen have never exactly been similar, so I will content myself with a sequel. Please write a sequel? Hero , as I said, is not perfect. But it is entertaining. For me, it was like reading a Baldur's Gate game. Which is awesome, of course, because I fucking love those games. But I won't say that reading this book is like reading those books, because clearly I have never read them and am therefore unqualified to make that assertion.

I must confess that I was expecting something completely different based on the title. Instead, it turned out to be the kind of Endless-Fantasy-Series story that I've been avoiding for years. So to be fair, I must say up front that this is NOT my kind of book, and I feel a little snookered by false impressions into having read it. Ma I must confess that I was expecting something completely different based on the title.

Maybe I should have read the reviews a little more carefully! The magic of this fantasy universe is quite intriguing enough so, I was able to get through the book instead of completely giving up on it. Some of the characters especially the hapless Darcy are complex enough to be interesting.

And for an apparently self-published book, the editing errors are very minor. The universe itself isn't sufficiently elaborated on. Between horses, armor, and swords on the one hand, and a modernly large city, tuxedos, and standard women's dress sizes on the other, I had a difficult time forming a picture in my head of what this place looks and feels like.

Why are goods sent overland through dangerous territory instead of shipped across the sea? Then there's the fact that the two main female characters seem remarkably clueless, considering their backgrounds. I won't spoil the "big reveal" which I predicted well in advance , but I found it hard to believe that a woman who had grown up in the kind of household Arabella did would be so utterly unaware of the realities of being female.

Then again, this book was written by a man. Ultimately, this story seems to exist primarily for the sake of grueling battle scenes that result in horrible injuries, strung like bloody beads on a standard fantasy plotline that has only an intriguing magic system to make it sparkle. Not a bad book for the right audience, but not my cup of tea. Jul 28, Billy rated it really liked it. I am a huge fan of stories that take me along for the ride.

Robert Eaton, a self described rock and wrestling fan opens his novel with a bang, taking the reader right into the heart of the action. The novel is a sweeping story with a wide variety of characters - some of them prototypical fantasy characters like Lord Niall Lionne and his son Darcy and others, like Brianna, the woman in red, the female Knight Carys and Arabella Dorian that are cut from a slightly different cloth.

Using a basic good versus evil motif the Knights of the Citadel pitted against the Heathens and deadly Warlocks Eaton takes the reader on a wild ride with rampaging warlocks, hordes of heathens and a cast of seeming thousands.

The Hero Always Wins

The combat scenes stood out in particular for me because they reminded me of R. Detailed and visceral would be the best way to describe it. The Hero Always Wins is a fun first effort into what promises to be a wide, wild world. Being that this is an independently produced novel there are a few grammatical issues at the beginning and the first act has a lot of characters and unfamiliar customs to get used to. But I found that as the story progressed I was drawn into and even found a few interesting twists that kept me guessing.

All in all I can honestly say that I really enjoyed the story and you definitely get your money's worth. I am eagerly anticipating the next story in the series and I think Robert Eaton is an author I will look forward to reading for some time to come. Oct 16, Lucinda Rose rated it it was amazing.

The tale begins with a young, prideful knight engaging Review of The Hero Always Wins by Robert Eaton Never judge a book by its cover or by a really quick glance; initially the cover of Hero Always Wins reminded me of a romance novel, which is why it languished so long on the reading list. The tale begins with a young, prideful knight engaging in battle.

He charges into battle, kills the warlock and saves the maiden plus a crazy old man by going against orders. He carries a sword inscribed with the word - Hero and while his deeds are heroic, they can also be foolish like getting drunk more than once and letting those who depend on him down. It is the beginning of the archetypical hero's journey where the hero's pride gets knocked down and he learns to be a man. I was thinking the cover had yellow and blue on it Nov 18, , 6: Pregnant female butler 8-months along. The book summary doesn't mention surrogacy, but the term did show up two times when I searched for that term in Google Books.

XD The heroine is a surrogate for her aunt and uncle though. Yea I had a feeling the summary wouldn't mention surrogacy, but I was wrong about the sister and husband. Thank you so much! Once i saw the cover, I realized I have seen it before. Let me know if you need help finding a book, I'll be sure to return the favour.

He cannot honorably deny them, but he won't be forced into marriage. Encountering a respectable governess in scandalizing circumstances, Gareth demands her help—to make him entirely ineligible.

He educates the buttoned-up Miss Jessica Gifford in the courtesan's arts. But Gareth hasn't bargained on such an ardent, clever pupil—or on his passionate response to her! He wanted to cause a stir—it seems they are about to brew a scandal! The list the list in the correct order is: Now is my turn to have a question.

I am looking for a book whose name and author I can not remember. The plot was somthing like this: This man promises to free one of the sisters if the other promises to stay with him. One of them grants the motion and gradually discovers that the villain has a noble heart. I read the description when I was looking for other books to read, but never wrote down the data of this book to read next. If any of you could tell me the name of the book or author, I am very grateful for your help. Okay, I read this book several years ago, and can't remember what the title or author is.

Its a Regency romance. The main female lives in the slums of England. I don't really remember who the hero was, he was an earl or something i think, and he takes her in and makes her over. But near the end of the book I think they have a fight and she returns to the slums just as a cholera outbreak hits. She has a prostitute friend who dies and because she then catches cholera as well, she loses the baby she was pregnant with.

I don't know the book and really want to read it again. She is English but she grew up in the Paris slums. The Earl seeks her out for revenge complicated plot and then agrees to marry her back in England. They have a short lived blissful time but then have a big disagreement she learns the truth about him and she goes back to Paris and the slums. There is a cholera epidemic there after she leaves him in England. I think she did lose a baby, but I can't remember for sure. It was a really good book. He has a scarred face and this is the last of a trilogy of brothers. Woohoo, a success story! Yay for a happy ending!

I never know these, which is weird because I've read so many romances. Hi,I m looking for a harlequin I read many many years ago. The heroine is english and visits her cousin who lives in a farm in France i think with her husband. The heroine also helps out in the farm. Her cousin tries to ruin everything she does around the farm -remember an incident where the heroine cooks soup for the farm workers and the cousin drops soap in it on purpose to ruin it.

The farm owner who is her cousin's brother in law is very prejudiced against her. I want to read it again! Can't believe it really! I ve been looking for this book for so long and you just found it right away! I ve got another one but I am afraid that's much harder to find since I remember so little of it It's all thanks to the person who runs the Vintage Romances website. She breaks each book down by keywords and I use that to help me look for your book.

I'm afraid the other book you are looking for is much harder since there isn't a lot of information to set it apart from any other medical romance, but I will try. Hi everyone I was wondering if you can help me figure out the title of this book I read a little over a year ago It has to do with a wealthy girl who runs away from home to find herself in the streets. She becomes friends with a group or a "gang" of pickpockets. I distinctly remember that most of them were good kids expect for one of them who I believe was named Jack? I'm not quite so sure.

There was also a character which was a small boy who grew fond of this girl. She would read to them every night. She also fell in love with the leader of the "gang". The mean boy Jack tried to force himself on her and was shunned from the group. Jack teams up with an evil man who is the leader of a rival pickpocket gang and they try to take them out.

By this time the girls older brother finds her and takes her back to her rich lifestyle. Can anyone help me? Theres also a sequel to that book. It is set later when the girl is a young lady and she meets again with the kid she fell in love with and they have an affair and blah blah you know the rest haha.

Anyways something happens that she goes back to where she lived neighborhood and gets herself really sick. The lord comes to find her and her prostitute friend tells him that she died and was in this building where they keep the bodies. He finds her on the table and she was bleeding she had lost the babe and she recuperates and they live happily ever after I also believe he was extremely rich and he left his rather luxurious home to live downtown paris or another setting because something happened In any case, that's what I've been looking into.

I remember very little about the book.

I can't remember the title, author or even the character's names since its been a while since I read it The children aren't her own. The kids were given up by their parents, because they were poor. Everyone is under the impression that the husband is kind by taking in these poor kids, but in reality he abuses them. I think he might've even been a pedophile? No one knows his secret except the heroine.

But she escapes with these children and tries to go back and save the rest of them. I don't quite remember how she meets the hero of the story, but I think he's titled as well and he tries to help out the heroine by formulating a plan since her husband is well-known. Random facts I remember about from this book is that the heroine was also abused by her husband and I think punished by being put in a cage? Hope that made sense P Crossing my fingers that someone recognizes this novel!

Feb 13, , 1: Hello all new here as well. I know a knight inherits land but when he gets there its been razed. The cover was all reds with a girl leaning backwards in a beautiful gown with a man holding her i think but i might be blending stories Thank you! Hi klkeefe, I think I read something like that not to long ago though it wasn't medieval but more Regency. But it rings a bell. Not sure if I'm not mixing up two books though. It sounds a little like Fairest of them All by Theresa Medeiros, but I don't think the plot points all match up.

The heroine is a beauty in disguise, but I don't remember the land being razed. I have been searching for a contemporary romance novel for years. The heroine thinks she is dating a guy but he is an FBI agent? I believe she is a secretary and it looks as if her boss is involved in baby smuggling or some other type of illegal activity. She is taken down to the police station, in front of everyone at work I believe and the young brash agent along with his older much more mature partner question her for hours.

The brash agent even scares her by mentioning having to go into witness protection. They are apparently holding her long enough so they can install a wire tap in her house. When she meets up with him the hero who wants revenge against this man kidnaps her and gets shot in the process. I think the guy was going to kill her after she gave him the information. They hole up in a hotel for a while, he is a widower and his ex-wife was a supermodel? Remember her having to wear some of her clothing and then they made out on the balcony but he gets distracted when he sees the magazine she was reading which has the dead wives face on it.

They fall in love and get together for the first time while out dancing one night. I also believe she is a red head and is described as making a transition as the story goes on gaining confident and not appearing as mousy in looks anymore. Sorry for the long post guys, this book has been driving me crazy! I think it was a Harlequin romance but I'm not positive. Here is what it's about: The book starts in the past when the main female character's father had just died.

Her best friend's brother - whom she had a crush on as a child - asks her to marry him as a friend and move away - I think to the middle east, maybe Dubai? Anyway, the female character was a librarian at home but when they move away, he is busy working in the construction business, so she begins writing. She becomes a very popular crime writer while they are away - unbeknownst to him. Then his father has a heart attack and they must come home - I'm thinking about 3 yrs later.

While back home they must act like an actual couple - so they have to sleep in the same room and of course things begin to change. While home he is asked to take over his father's company, and he also finds out about her writing accomplishments - and of course they start to have a relationship. Does this sound familiar to anyone??? Hope someone can help!

It is a regency romance and the heroine for some reason disguises herself as a footman?

He goes to extremes to keep her safe, even almost killing her because a fire breaks out while she is locked in her room.

He becomes very close to the heroine and has a strange attraction to her strange because he doesn't know she is female and he is a known skirt chaser. I also really remember that her gender is revealed during a fencing match between the two of them. One other thing was that during a dinner, she was sitting next to him after being revealed as a woman and he took advantage of the fact she was wearing pants if you get my drift?

Maybe she was pretending to be another nobleman? I really wish I could remember more! I'd appreciate it if anyone can think of any books this could possibly be: She's disguised as a nobleman, not a footman, but I really think this is it! I think you are right. I know it's something that I have read. Absolutely Duchess By Night. New to this group and plagued with title of book i read in the late 80's early 90's. Set in California I believe Heroine called Mel finds she has improbably only a few months of fertility left to her.

This was quite a witty story. Finally she has twins and marries the guy. Sorry forget the guys name but the jerk of a brother was Donny. Maybe The Stud by Barbara Delinsky.

If I'm not mistaken, at one point the heroine buries something she was reading because her uncle would take it away from her if he saw it. I am hoping you can help me track down a historical romance book. The female character starts out at a convent which her brother placed her in for punishment in not following his orders. I think he wanted her to marry someone.

She was then kidnapped by the main male character, enemy of her brother, where in the process she was cut by a knife in her leg by her guards. She remained loyal to her brother throughout the book even though everyone tries to convince her otherwise. I think the brother had six fingers on one hand I really hope someone can help me with this, since I can't seem to get it out of my head and I'm driving myself crazy. I read a book in probably early to mid 90's, contemporary romance.

The heroine is a secretary for a law firm, barely making ends meet, raising 2 younger brothers and taking care of a sick grandfather. The hero is a lawyer, maybe state attorney, he's wealthy. Typical story line they go out, she gets pregnant, he finds out and tries to "do the right thing" she, of course, is too proud to take the help. Anyway, it all ends happily ever after but to save my life I can't remember the name of the book. Any of this sound familiar??

A couple of year's ago, I read a book thatwas, for the most part, set at the turn of the 20th century I think Somehow, a modern day girl ended up switching bodies with a girl from the era the modern girl being nicely adventurous and the historical girl a complete witch.

Regardless, the once-modern-now-stuck-in-the-past-heroine falls in love with two brothers, who were the results of a similar attachment between their mutual mother and different fathers. If any of you remember such a novel, I would greatly appreciate some direction!

Z Mar 30, , There are these 2 historical romance novels that i cant remember the name of and its driving me crazy!! The 1st one is about the hero marrying a pickpocket off the streets of london just to get back at his father and then dumps her there. I think he was drunk or something and she tries to rob him and his friend and he catches her and forces her to marry her. Shes actually suppose to be an aristrocat who got kidnapped when she was young. I remember then the heros father teaching her how to be a lady and then launching her into society and shes all beautiful and witty and successful.

The hero falls for her without realising shes his wife and i remember how she kept visiting the streets to feed some orphans or something and the hero meets her there again asking for a divorce or something along the lines: S The 2nd book is about this girl who runs her own estate and shes yound an spirited and loves her home more than anything. I remember in the book she travels to his house disguised as a boy and tried to kill him with a knife so that she can have her estate back.

I think her name was "kit" in the book. When the hero realises shes his ward he sends her off to school for young ladies. When she gets back shes all beutiful n stuff and i think they fall in love but the hero has his doubts that she loves the estate more than him: S Anyway if someone can please tell me the names of these books i would be eternally grateful!!

It is a historical romance set in England and this girl is forced to marry a man from close to or in Scotland I think.

I know that on their way to his home after they are married they have to stop at this fort where she is almost raped. She hates it where he lives but somehow learns to love him. I can't remember why but she ends up leaving and going back to her parents house towards the end of the book. She finds out after she gets there that shes pregnant. The man shows back up to get her right as she goes into labor in the garden.

That is all I remember and I hope someone can help me figure out what this book is. I know I have the book somewhere but in moving three times in two years it is missing and I can't have my husband help me look if we don't know what to look for. I think this is one of Julie Garwood's books, but I can't remember which one. There's a storm or something, and both end up having to stay in the house for the duration of the project.

Of course, they fall back in love during their time in the house. I think there was also something about their unborn babies casting a spell to make them fall in love - it might have been part of a matchmaking babies series. Sounds weird, but it was a really good book!

If anyone knows the title or the name of the series, please let me know: I'm looking for a book I read years ago. It's a western historical romance.

7. Review: The Hero Gets the Girl by Robert Eaton (@heroalwayswins)?

All I remember about the plot was that she's a red head that is indentured to a horrible individual. Afterward a group of men from their tribe show up and she falls for one of them. I forget exactly what he is in the tribe, but I think he may have been some sort of medicine man or other well respected man in the tribe.

Anyway, if it sounds familiar please let me know. It wasn't new, but I forget when it was published. I am looking for a book I read at least 10 years ago. I believe it was set in Victorian times and involved a young woman that stows away on a ship, but she is dressed as a boy so she is the servant to the male character. I think when they arrive at the mainland, she does something with the theater or is a singer. Anyway, as the story progresses, she ends up pregnant wich is unknown to her love interest, and she saves a small child from a burning pile of leaves which then causes her to have a miscarriage.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? I read the first few chapters of this book a few months ago and cannot remember the title or author and it's driving me nuts! Anyway i believe it's a historical romance set in old England sometime. And it's about a young lady who is poor and lives with her father on a rich man's property. She used to play with the masters son whe they were children but they grew apart and she sees him again now that they are older and they don't get along.

She gets in some trouble money wise I think and he offers to help. She makes a deal with him that once a week or something he gets to do whatever he wants with her for an increasing amount of time. So it starts with like 60 seconds and goes to 2 minutes and so on. That's all I remember.. I'm dying to read the rest! I'm just going to jump right in It's a contemporary romance She then is questioned at the police station and the hero, who she had strong feelings for, basically abandons her and leaves town. I remember the funeral scene where the heroine, no longer a suspect, tries to hold the hero's hand but he wouldn't let her.

Fast forward, the girl is grown up now, she stayed at the mansion where she was raised, taking care of the family business when the hero returns. The matriarch is now old and needs to decide who she wants to leave the bulk of her inheritance to - the hero grandson or heroine adopted or family friend's daughter who has been with her all this time or something like that. I remember something about the heroine still being haunted by the night she discovered the murder scene, she has nightmares and screams in her sleep. I think she also sleepwalks. In the end the matriarch gives everything to the grandson.

Can anyone help me figure this out? I know my description isn't very good but hopefully it will trigger someone's memory. Its a historical romance set during WW2. Consummation was a rape scene! They got a son,Luis. Both had lovers outside marriage and apparently the hero was spying on the Germans This book had many themes.

At the end the hero's family was killed off one by one by his best friend,Armand who was also a German spy and also the heroine's lover?! The heroine gets shot at the end and recovers while they run away from France. Apr 13, , Dainty C on 47 I realize that it has been a long time since you posted this, but I think the book you are looking for is Shanna by Kathleen Woodiwiss.

I sure hope that someone can help me with this one - it's been tickling the back of my mind for years!! This is a really old one, probably from or so. Two young brothers are on a ship, sailing from France to America, with their parents and sister. In a storm, the younger brother is swept overboard and rescued by a couple who own a Southern plantation but could have no children of their own.

The rest of the family is rescued together and end up settling in the North. Flash forward several years to the advent of the Civil War. The older brother Alex? Somehow the two women Southern belle and Northern secret agent meet and figure out that they are in love with the brothers separated so long ago. There was something hinky about the woman who rescued the younger boy and was scared that he would abandon her now that he found his real family, but I can't remember the details. In any event, everyone lives happily ever after. I remember the book so fondly, but I have not a clue as to the title or the author.

Dainty C from 47 Did you ever find your third book? Finally found it on another site. I'm hoping someone can help me find this book! It's been awhile since I read it but I remember it was about a lost princess or aristocrat who was in danger and her maid ran away with her, the maid ended up dying and the girl was raised and worked at an inn, she had some kind of scar on her wrist that resembled a birthmark or something that only her family had or it was branded on her, I can't remember! I can't remember names, I think the male character may be scarred and the castle or palace or whatever has "raven" in it, maybe.

I know it sounds similar to "Once a Princess" but this is a different book. Please and thank you! Apr 23, , 8: I am looking for a romance book that has the heroine as a blond model who was adopted and has a spoilt sister the natural child of the parents that talks her into using a condom filled with sperm to get pregnant from her sisters boyfriend as a surragate.

The sister and the weak but funloving brother of the hero go off for a dirty weekend and have a car accident which kills the brother but not the spoilt sister. She goes into hiding but is believed dead. The heroine calls and announces that he should come and get his daughter to the complete surprise to the father. She thinks he knows all about the child. The heroines sister told her she was infertile when she wasn't so she could get her hooks into the father by pretending she was the mother. The heroine and the hero marry and the sister shows up again but I can't remember the rest.

Anyone know this book? It's driving me crazy! I have another one set in medieval times and the hero is hated by his father because when he was born it killed his mother during childbirth. The father names his son Cane. The son is forced into a marriage with a blond girl who was destined for the church. When her brother is killed she has to give up the church and marry for her father to have heirs.

I may be mixing two books together but hopefully not. Hello, I just joined and am thrilled to have found this site. I know I read it sometime in the past years, but I don't know when it was published. I have the story stuck in my head, but for the life of me I cannot remember the title or the main characters names. This novel was set in the American West, most likely during the 19th century but I am not sure when exactly.

The book starts off with an Eastern lady traveling out to her uncle's ranch in the west I think it was Texas? She was an eastern lady who came out to the ranch by train I think she was looking for a husband? She has a conflicted relationship with the ranch foreman or maybe he was just a ranch hand. She eventually becomes pregnant by him. They visit her family in the East, but her relative maybe a mother or an aunt?

She doesn't know how to cook, or clean the house, or iron his clothes without ruining them and he mocks her for it. He refuses to allow her to have servants or any household help as she struggles with her new responsibilities. Eventually she works herself into the ground trying to please him and she miscarries the baby that forced them to be married in the first place. There is some sort of slimy bad character who wants to cheat them out of the profits and success of all their hard work, but they defend themselves against him..

Eventually they realize they are in love and the well is a success. I would appreciate any help or advice anyone can give me! It was a really powerful story. New to the group, I'm happy I found this site! I'm looking for the name and author of a book I read in the 's. I don't have a lot of details but I recall it was about a woman named Rose who fell in love with a highwayman. The Rose sticks in my mind as a moniker she was given after being with the highwayman for awhile but not sure about that.

Does this ring a bell with anyone? Apr 24, , The Toll-Gate by Georgette Heyer has a woman named Rose who is in love with a highwayman, but they are not the main characters. Apr 26, , The Toll-Gate is about a very tall woman living with her dying grandfather who's heir, a creepy cousin who with another creep are staying at her grandfathers. They have robbed a convoy of newly minted money with a new stamp, that they can't spend until the currency officially comes out. Into this comes an a very large officer or former officer who likes adventure who stops at the toll-gate and finds a boy alone because his father has not returned to the toll-gate.

His father is later found dead and a highwayman stops there occasionally to court the heroines governess or chaperone. The hero Jack I believe, falls for the granddaughter on sight. The get married at the grandfathers deathbed and the highwayman gets the reward for finding the gold.
