Gillie Trewlove knows what a strangerโs kindness can mean, having been abandoned on a doorstep as a baby and raised by the woman who found her there. So, when suddenly faced with a soul in need at her doorโor the alleyway by her tavernโGillie doesnโt hesitate. But heโs no infant. Heโs a grievously injured, distractingly handsome gentleman who doesnโt belong in Whitechapel, much less recuperating in Gillieโs bed . . .Being left at the altar is humiliating; being rescued from thugs by a womanโalbeit a brave and beautiful oneโis the piรจce de rรฉsistance to the Duke of Thornleyโs extraordinarily bad day. After nursing him back from the brink, Gillie agrees to help him comb Londonโs darker corners for his wayward bride. But every moment together is edged with desire and has Thorne rethinking his choice of wife. Yet Gillie knows the aristocracy would never accept a duchess born in sin. Thorne, however, is determined to prove to her that no obstacle is insurmountable when a duke loves a woman.

Adored the Hero and Heroine
FINAL DECISION: I absolutely adored Thorne in this book. He is kind and a true gentleman. Gillie is fierce, strong and independent but caring. And I've lost track of the times that Heath has brought me to tears in one of her books -- including this one. THE STORY: Antony Coventry, Duke of Thornley had an extraordinarily bad day. Left at the altar by his bride, Thorne goes searching for her in Whitechapel and finds himself robbed and left for dead. Gillie Trewlove comes across the seriously injured stranger near her tavern and finds herself responsible for nursing him back to health. She also ends up agreeing to help Thorne search for his runaway bride. As the two search, the connection between Thorne and Gillie grows. But these are two people who cannot live in the other's world no matter how much they may want to. OPINION: I absolutely loved Thorne in this book. He is such a fine man. From the moment he meets Gillie, he finds his worldview changing, but he is always respectful and kind to those around him. I just love a guy who is willing to turn his world around for the woman he loves. At every stage in this book, Gillie is important to him. He respects her. He wants to understand her. And he puts her above his own wants and needs. Absolutely loved him. Gillie is a strong and kind woman. Independent, she handles her dominant brothers and never accepts being thought of as inferior because of being female. She knows her mind and has managed to make a profession for herself as a tavern owner. Yet she has a shyness and a desire for quiet that may seem contradictory to the bright woman who manages a tavern and yet it seems completely in character. I loved these two together. Their different stations seem destined to keep them apart even though they quickly find that they want to try and bridge that distance. What I really liked is that there is not some big external bad keeping them apart, but their own expectations and the world's expectations. Heath has a way of writing that rips my heart out. Even though I KNOW there will be a happy ending, I found myself openly weeping during the story. Beautiful and tragic and such an expression of love and hopelessness. The characters, the emotion of the story and the fact that I really cared about these two make this a wonderful read that I will definitely turn to again. WORTH MENTIONING: This book sets up the next book in the series with Finn. CONNECTED BOOKS: WHEN A DUKE LOVES A WOMAN is the second book in the Sins for All Seasons series. The romance in this book is self-contained. Although there are overlapping characters in the series, this book can be read as a standalone. STAR RATING: I give this book 5 stars.

Wonderful
I go for spells when I don't read Me Heath drawn away by other series and other authors. When I return I can't remember why I ever turned to anyone else. Her writing is lush . I often have to sigh. Put the book down to simply gaze into the distance and rebel in the story. I loved this. Loved the hero and heroine. Loved the story.
