His Wicked Kiss: A Novel (Knight Miscellany)

Eden Farraday has spent the last ten years living in the jungles of South America. She longs and wishes for the time that she and her father will return to London. Eden wants to live the life of society and perhaps find a man to love. Her father though has different ideas about this plan and when Eden sees her chance of escaping the potential war zone they call home she takes it. She stows away on Black Jack Knights ship. They meant briefly and their time together left her breathless and hungry for more. But once she stows away she worries...what will Jack do when he finds her? They have an ocean crossing to get through and plenty of time to come to terms with what is between them. But will Jack who has vowed never to allow a person close to him ever again accept the gift of Eden's love and will he trust her with his very badly battered heart? Ms. Foley is an automatic buy for me for numerous reasons. The first and foremost is her characters. I loved Jack from the very beginning and the dance Eden and Jack performed while falling in love was enchanting. Add to this romantic and exotic locals, entertaining secondary stories and the chance to revisit with the rest of the Knight Clan and you have a winner for sure. Ms. Foley has a wonderful talent when it comes to penning stories readers will positively fall in love with. I can't wait for her next effort!

Gaelen Foley has outdone herself with this last of the Knight series. Starting with The Duke and breezing ravenously through the following five delicious books of this series, on it's release date I picked up His Wicked Kiss. Jack rules. Gaelen has written a truly fine grand finale of this family wonderfully. Kudos! It is so obvious why you are now on the New York Times Best Sellers extended list. You should soar to the top. Jack and Eden stole my heart. Of course, Gaelen, so did Robert, Lucien, Damien, Jacinda, Lizze, Alec and then came Jack Knight. If I could, I would give it six stars.

If you're like me, and didn't particularly like Gaelen Foley's more recent additions to her Knight series, please give this one a try! His Wicked Kiss is Foley's best book since The Duke, maybe her best ever. I loved this one because the romance between Jack and Eden was so captivating. I enjoy romance novels for many reasons, but it's a rare book that succeeds in telling a beautiful love story, a romance in the real sense of the word. Jack is the hero that we always want, but seldom get. The black sheep of the Knight family meets his match in Eden, a stowaway on his ship, and slowly learns how to trust after a lifetime of rejection and heartbreak. Jack tries to convince her that he's the villain that everyone believes, but Eden easily sees through this act and quickly grows to love him for being the honorable, brave and complicated man that he is. Toward the end, the little misunderstandings between Jack and Eden are rather frustrating, but Foley's easily forgiven after creating such fascinating characters and such a memorable love story.
