Luckily, I can get Presents at the library sale and read them in about five minutes, so it's not a big investment. And they are prefect for taking into the hot tub. In the rain. ;-) Oh, too true!

Wendy, I know what you mean about Presents, unfortunatly for every author who can write a good story there are like four who aren't so skilled.

Which is the one where he ruined her wedding? Is it "To Have And to Hold"?

Gaffney is probably best known for <i>To Have and to Hold</i>, another book with a superlatively nasty hero. That one I adored unconditionally. <i>To Love and to Cherish</i> goes in a complete different direction, with a kind gentle minister for a hero--but believe it or not, also extremely good!

I guess the thing about it that really got to me was the talking. I liked seeing our leads getting to know each other, the inner trauma of the hero, made the sex scene (when it FINALLY happened) more special to me. Sherrilyn Kenyon ah yes...I do love her as well (same woman). Who's Patricia Gaffney? I've never heard of her. All I saw was the word historical, I'm sold. *gasps* Oh…I have to confess I loved this book. I guess the thing about it that really got to me was the talking.

I thought it a fine grovel, nicely tied up thematically. The book as a whole overdid the nasty hero for my tastes... ONE big misunderstanding, fine, but 2+ is pushing it for me. Still, good read.

I loved Lilly, but then I am a sucker for a jerk hero and if I remember there was quite the nice grovel at the end, though some said it wasn't enough.
