Nothing But Velvet

Kat Martin has managed to capture exactly what I was looking for in a historical romance. It carries the heady details of the age while developing a wonderful story to engross modern readers. The writing was intelligent. The heroine was a real piece of work..instead of the stereotypical ranting and raving "How Dare You!" strength of most heroines, Velvet backs it up. When put in a corner she was more than able to handle herself--oftentimes that meant using weapons and force. Hurrah! The hero is terribly likable, and the supporting cast members were all colorful, detailed, and powerful. I couldn't ask for anything better! Richly written history, a compelling plotline, and poetically written romance.

NOTHING BUT VELVET it Kat Martin's best historical romance yet. Having read all of her books save for MIDNIGHT RIDER, I can accurately judge that NOTHING BUT VELVET was absolutely marvelous. The romance between the spirited Velvet Moran and handsome rogue Jason Sinclair is so vivid and powerful that I could actually feel it seep through the pages. Both Velvet and Jason are very intelligent and strong-willed people. I enjoyed their dialogue and actions because they fit in perfectly with the storyline. In other words, all the exciting events that take place are brilliantly thought-out. Kat Martin has a wonderful way of bringing these characters to vibrant life.If you're looking for a book filled with breathtaking romance, suspenseful adventure, and undying love, this is the one for you. It is not one of those slow paced, dull, or sad romance novels. Every page holds something exciting and new and definitely will have you hooked. I guarantee you that the ending of the story is worth every single penny and more.

Wonderful. I bought this book to read on the plane. This is the first time I did not want the plane to land. I think I have found a new author to read

My friend gave me this book and said I'd like it. I'd like to say "Thank you" because it has given me many, many hours of wonderful reading. Not only did I read through Nothing but Velvet at record speed, but I went out and bought almost allof her other books I could get my hands on!

I absolutely loved this romance novel. It was the first romance novel I've read by Kat Martin, and now I own every book she's made as of yet. This story is about a stolen dukedom, and innocent maiden desperate for funds, and Jason Sinclair, the true ruler of the dukedom of Carlysle. He beings to fall in love with Velvet Moran, but refuses to do anything because he believes he has nothing to offer her. Full of chivalry and honesty. A truly wonderful read.
