Review: The best sexy historical heroes by far!
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 04 12, 2013
Some romance authors are able to pump out book after book; just reformulating as they go, so that many of the stories are so similar they blend into one - like a paint by numbers for  romance! This makes me sad, bored and angry.  Then there are authors like Samantha Holt, who manages (I don't know how, because her author page says she has twin children) to prolifically write some of the absolute best historical erotic romance a girl could ever hope to get her hands on.I have read a few things by Ms. Holt and her Heroes are simply ravishingly rugged and honourable and sometimes plain naughty! I love them! Her heroines are also very likable and strong; no damsels in distress here folks.What it is about:Jake, a rugged and of course - sexy nobleman discovers a maiden being attacked in the woods on his brother's land. The Lady Isabel is unable to hear or talk after her ordeal and is hiding a secret or two from her saviour. The gruff Jake of course falls head over heels in love with the fair maiden, and she seems pretty fond of him (despite not being able to talk or hear!) but the story would not be a Samantha Holt story if that were all there was.  There is Jake's wealthy, powerful...and sexy brother, a jilted fiancé and a vicious father hell bent on making poor Isabel's life hell!The Good:Like all of her stories that I have read so far this is exquisitely written, with attention to historical detail and wonderful character development. The story is well paced, full of action, deceit, treachery, and lots and lots of sexy encounters!  I read this in one go - staying up until 2am!The Bad:I am delighted to say there is nothing bad about Borderland Bride. The author is talented, the story is great, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.The cover:The cover art is perfect for the historical romance genre. There is a sexy guy, and I find it appealing.Rating:I could pick absolutely nothing wrong with this book. I enjoyed every moment.I give it a strong five out of five. If I could give it a six I would!
