This book is fantastic reading. This is the last book of a 3-book series written by Candace Camp. The first one is "A stolen heart" and the second book is "Promise me tomorrow". The characters of her books are vividly written and seemingly alive. The story of the series is about three brother and sisters who were separated since they were young. Will they find each other? Read the whole series and find out for yourself.
five stars and then some

No Other Love is an absolutely wonderful book. Nicola and "The Gentleman" ignite sparks from their first encounter and fan the flame throughout the rest of the book. Nicola, who is a down-down-to-earth member of high society, is still in love with her former lover who has been dead for ten years. One can almost feel her pain and longing for him. Jack, "The Gentleman" highwayman, is a character I think every woman would love to meet. He is vowing revenge against Exmoor for a past wrong. Jack is definitely a hero to fall in love with. A sort of Robin Hood to the villagers.Even though the direction this book is going in seems pretty obvious, the fun part is getting to the destination (the last page!) This book had me smiling and practically on the edge of my seat. Of course characters from the other two books in the series are in this one and that adds to the fun. This was definitely my favorite of the three books. It was completely enjoyable. (It is comparable to the Mallory Novels by Johanna Lindsey.) You will love the characters just as much. I can't say enough about this book except that it is a MUST READ!!! (I would also like to see more books written that involve these characters)
This was the best book I have read in months.

Jack and Nicola are very vibrant characters. Although you could tell which way the story was going, it was one of the best stories I have read in ages. Bringing back all the characters from the first two books and having them play a significant part in the unraveling of the final mystery is a rare occurrence one that I enjoyed beyond words. By the time I got to the last page, I was laughing and crying at the same time. You have to read this trilogy. It will keep you interested from beginning to end. I'm sure you noticed that I didn't say anything about the story in detail. You're going to have to read the books to find out.
A delightful end to the trilogy

The first two books, "A Stolen Heart" and "Promise Me Tomorrow," introduced us to both Niccola and Jack. While both of those were good, this is my favorite of the three. Camp still writes a fast paced story, and here we get a chance to find out about the mysterious highwayman who has played a part in the lives of the other characters in "Heart" and "Tomorrow."Overall, I highly recommend this book. It's a delightful romp with a nicely tied up ending. (We finally get to see Exmoor get what he deserves!)
A delicious historical romance

Ten years ago Nicola Falcourt watched in disbelief as her beloved Gil Martin, a groom, and the Earl of Exmoor, Richard Montford, fought. Her incredulity changes to anguish when Gil fell off the cliff and died. A grieving Nicola kept the engagement ring that Gil gave her close to her heart while never forgiving Exmoor for causing the death of her sweetheart.Nicola has stayed away from Exmoor even though he married her sister Deborah. In 1815 Nicola finally agrees to visit in response to Deborah's urgent plea to help her through her pregnancy in light of three previous miscarriages. On the way to Exmoor, The Gentleman stops her coach, robs Nicola, and steals a kiss. To her guilt as she has stayed loyal to the memory of Gil, she liked the kiss and soon learns he is a popular Robin Hood-type figure. The Gentleman keeps showing up in a weird courting of Nicola and soon they fall in love, but her safety becomes questionable since Exmoor wants the Gentleman dead.NO OTHER LOVE is an exciting Regency romance filled with non-stop action and an entertaining rogue of a hero and an intrepid heroine. The story line never slows down, as Nicola seems to land in one predicament after another mostly caused by The Gentleman. Though extreme, Exmoor comes across as 100% pure evil, making him the oppositey of the lead couple and the catalyst moving the plot forward. Fans of the sub-genre will find Candace Camp's latest tale quite enjoyable.Harriet Klausner
