Judith McNaught is officially my number one favourite historical romance writer. I can't believe her books were published in the 80's, before I was even born, because it's better than most if not all published today. It's the ending that got me. Before I would've given it four stars. And I found it terribly endearing how Jordan wanted to believe the best in his wife, and would give her time to explain before REALLY flying of the handle, but of course with Fawkes whispering in his ear (god dammit! I thought Fawkes wanted to kill him!)...it was inevitable he started doubting his wife. But all the love-making scenes! And when Jordan dropped his cynicism! Oh, how I swooned. It got me. It totally got me :)
