Description
'This is all I can give you,' he said. 'Do you agree?'
'Yes…' I whispered, my lips brushing against his.
I hardly knew what I was saying. I could think of nothing other than the darkly powerful Edward St Cyr. I was too lost in the moment—lost in pleasure that made the world a million colours of twisting light.
I gave him my body—which he wanted—and my heart—which he didn’t. Had I just made the biggest mistake of my life?
Maybe when he knows about our baby it will heal his wounded heart so he can love us both…

Praise for Jennie LucasNine Months to Redeem Him 4.5* TOP PICK RT Book Review
Lucas’ precise, rhythmic narrative sets the mood and keeps the flow in this gothic heartbreaker. Her brooding, cold-hearted hero and innocent, nurturing heroine are perfectly matched, and the over-the-top settings complement the tale. But it’s the couple’s battle of wills that sets the novel on fire.
Uncovering Her Nine Month Secret 4* RT Book Review
Lucas’ second-chance romance stars a smug, arrogant aristocrat and an orphaned, confounded heroine. The first-person storytelling gives an intimate air, the settings add detail and the costars add depth.
The Sheikh’s Last Seduction 4.5* TOP PICK RT Book Review
Set equally between historic Italy and a shiny modern Persian Gulf metropolis, Lucas builds her intricate, affecting romance with ribald humor, intense emotions, enticing narrative and endearing characters. Her righteous heroine and obligated hero are unrivaled, and their love scenes are sensual yet innocent.
“I loved Edward from the moment we were introduced, he's so blunt but also quite amusing. the chemistry between him and Diana is epic right from the get go you can see the banter bouncing , they have both been hurt by love, both love a challenge and refuse to back down” – Lisa Fallon, NetGalley reviewer

Hero to die for, heroine to cheer for, love story that made me cry, moody moors and rugged ruthlessness, writing with warmth and personality
My first impression was that the 1st person point of view felt strange and I was afraid it was going to distance me. But not for long. Soon I was absorbed in the heroine’s character and personality, and if anything it drew me in more.
I loved the prologue, and how it creates PTQ, not that I wouldn’t have turned the pages anyway as I couldn’t put it down. I adored the oldfashioned advice book the heroine is reading, and the mention of Wuthering Heights etc which all contributes to the atmosphere.
Despite my second impression, which was suspicion of the writer’s Cornwall (which I know like the back of my hand) I really loved the gothic darkness of the Cornish Castle setting, despite a few niggles which weren’t enough to spoil my overall enjoyment or detract from my five star plus rating.
Love the oldfashionedness of the outrageously dark hero (I adore outrageous heroes) and really enjoyed not being in the hero’s head. The clues to him and how he’s feeling are all there so you really have to pay attention to what he says and does…and what he doesn’t. But believe me paying close attention to Edward St Cyr is no hardship.
The snowy gothicness is redolent of old Anne Mather’s, such as Leopard in the Snow, complete with wounded hero and gym, no leopards, but a gorgeous sheepdog (just to make me extra happy), and of Sara Craven’s Cornish manor house settings and non-Hero POV stories. Fans of these authors will love this. But the oldfashionedness of the setting, only-heroine point-of-view etc is given a fresh twist by the contemporariness of her family background, the juxtaposed LA setting and by the author’s gorgeous writing voice which has so much warmth and personality and is what makes this first person romance such a success..
The ending is absolutely beautiful and made me cry.
My favourite Jennie Lucas and one for my keeper shelf. I believe Jennie has written a previous book in first person with Edward St Cyr as the villain…which I’m off to find now.
five star plus
