Many highs and lows. Regan has to grow from a frightened and sheltered lady to a confident and passionate woman. Travis is a larger than life character who is willing to do anything to protect Regan. The right amount of melt your heart romance and heart wrenching angst.
Lost Lady

A fun read. Always a pleasure to enjoy one of what I call Jude Deveraux’ grown up nursery tales. Perfectly adult romances that make one enjoy books in a way that children do, with sheer pleasure. Her characters touch the heart and make one wish for more.
