I got three books that I need help finding (one is driving me "bonkers" 'cause I didn't like it the first time around, but message #21 sounds like it and I thought I knew the name, and the more I try to remember ahh.)ġST: The title of the book is JEWEL. The story is taking place during one of those Crusade wars, 'cause Elyse/Elsya's father is at the war-hence her reason for being at her cousin and the cousin's husband was to be going off to war the morning after the ceremony.Īny suggestions to the title and author would be really appreciated, I am longing to re-read this story. The mistake isn't discovered until they are overseas (some German country) holed up in some dilapidated castle with little funds and no means of returning to England until the seas are "un-frozen" Max, a nobleman, has been stripped of his title/inheritance by the king (I think he was accused of treason) so he comes to spirit away the cousin-the love of his life-before she consumates her marriage to this other nobleman who isn't accused of treason-and mistakenly gets Elyse/Elysa instead. During the ceremony she slips away to the bridal chambers to make sure every thing is everything where she is kidnapped by Max and his cronies. The story opens on Elyse overseeing the wedding preparation of her cousin (female). The hero: Maximillian and the heroine: Elyse/(Elysa). I need help finding this book that I read in 1998/9. I have posted this message in several threads, so bear with me if I seem tedious, but I'm desperate, Does anyone recognize this story: I remember really liking it though and I'd like to re-read it and maybe see if the author has written anything else. Sorry so vague, but it's been a long time since I read it.
I do remember that there's a bar brawl scene at one point. They're going to save some girl I think maybe, who turns out to be blind (?) and they end up running into robin hood along the way, although robin hood is not the focal point of the story. The hero (who is a knight of some sort) and the heroine travel across country with her brother and some other people as a group. The heroine has a brother (I think maybe he's the one who ends up becoming friar tuck). There are several secondary characters that end up being robin hood/friar tuck/allan a dale, etc. It's a historical romance set in the crusades time period in England. I read it in college, so it would have been published pre-1997 or so. Maybe someone here will remember this one: So I watched that show "Robin Hood" on BBC last night and it reminded me of a book I read back in college. I have been looking for more than 3 years now! Any help would be great! I have posted about this book on several sites and am pretty sure this is NOT a Jane Feather book. I think the age difference was about 12-15 years between h/h. I also remember her walking on the servant/valet's back that had given him severe pain for years and fixing it. Some other random things: I think she had her first "tub" bath and compared it to bathing in the Thames. In the end she ends up being or looking like someone important that they were looking for all along. When they go to spank her they figure out she is a she and he decides to keep her and train her to be a lady. She tries to rob a nobleman and he captures her and takes her to his home to be punished. In the beginning the heroine is a highwayman dressed as a boy and is in charge of a group of orphaned boys. I am looking for a book I read before 1996. Meanwhile, stevie is working on the secty's car but he wasn't finished with the brakes, and she takes it, and gets into a car accident. The secretary overhears dulcie in a high-end boutique talking smack, and she leaves Fosythe. Fosythe then makes a deal with her, and she has to pretend to be his fiance/mistress, to get rid of all the women who are always chasing him, including a "b*t*h" actress called Dulcie. Then he takes the secty to dinner and takes her out to the dance floor so that the paparazzi take pictures of them dancing. The judge agrees and Fosythe takes the secretary and Stevie to his house. Fosythe suddenly shows up at the courthouse and convinces the judge to release Stevie under his care. Stevie is out of control and gets arrested for stealing a car. Her parents are dead so she raised her younger brother Stevie. I think his name is either Luke or Jake Fosythe. It's about a secretary (forgot her name) and her new boss who is the milionaire that takes over her company. I'm also looking for a Harlequin Presents circa '89-93. I've read many HP's, but that one doesn't sound familiar sorry, Morphidae.
