The basic plot line goes like this - Judith is forced to marry a man who is in love with another woman but who wants her for what she can bring him. I was very dissapointed in this book - although i admit i shouldn't have been and might not have been had i looked at the publication date.
I haven't given up on Jude I just hope the next book in the series is better. After all the emotional turmoil, I thought the ending was weak. There was some suspense plus some creepy secondary characters, but all in all I was dissatisfied. Most of the book showed their relationship to be either adversarial or sexual with few intimate moments where they just got to know one another. Their emotional connection just didn't come through to me - there was no real romance. I thought Gavin was perplexing because he lacked some of the qualities I have come to expect in the romantic hero. Judith was a captivating and independent heroine - no real complaints there. I understand this is the beginning book of the series and many characters had to be introduced, but that is not my gripe. It was so awesome that I decided to read the Montgomery series, but found the Velvet Promise disappointing.
I recently read my 1st Deveraux romance, A Knight in Shining Armor, and was totally smitten by that enchanting story and its wonderful character development.
