Title: Great story, but don't read this one first!
Review: There are some very good reviews of this book following, so I will be brief with my 2 cents worth! I love Judith McNaught's writing and this is a very good book - well conceived and convincing. If you are new to her brilliant romances, I would suggest you read Something Wonderful or Almost Heaven first. Although these Regency Romances are all from the same time period and have some common threads, Once and Always is a little darker and more disturbing. The characters are well developed and Jason's cruelty toward Victoria and mistrust of women in general is explained well as the story enfolds. Having said that, there are some very disturbing sex scenes in this book. I think Jason Fielding is the only one of Judith's alpha male characters that can make Clayton (Whitney My Love) look like a choir boy! While this is not my favorite McNaught book, I still have to give it 5 stars for an excellent storyline and memorable characters.
Is the review positive or negative?
