Review: Nice Historical with Heat

I read this a while back, and felt compelled to read it again. I love historicals, and this one is no exception. Julia has escaped her castle dressed as a page in order to escape her betrothed, an assumed horrible-no good-very bad-man who bested her father and killed him (for reasons I won't give away). Ordered by the king to now marry him, Jules says nothin' doin'and splits. Bronson, the Duke of Pembridge, rescues her from certain death-or worse, not fooled for a minute by her curves, etc. He finds it amusing to keep his true identity from her, until he no longer can.The Duke was cool, and Julia was nice--strong in her own way, and definitely appreciative of Bronson. Bronson was a stern but fair brute, and I loved the way he handled her bouts of temper, and her occasional amnesia about her 'place'. The sex scenes were well done and very hot. My only criticism was that I wish it was longer--I wanted more from these two.
