Professional Review:

Jude Deveraux continues her beloved Montgomery saga in America with this dramatic, passion-filled tale of rebellion and love -- a breathtaking adventure to be savored all over again -- or discovered for the first time!

The Raider

In colonial New England, the British are hunting a fearless, masked patriot whose daring foils them at every turn. He's known simply as the Raider.

Jessica Taggert, a proud-tempered beauty, thrills to the Raider's scorching midnight embrace, but despises Alexander Montgomery, the drunken town buffoon.

In truth, the cleverly disguised Montgomery lives two lives...and only his triumph over the hated Redcoats will free him, at last, to know the full pleasure of Jessica's love.

   Summary: Absolutely Fabulous
I loved this book. This was the first Jude Deveraux book I bought and I am a fan for life. This book has become one of my favorites. Eventhough the one sex scene in it is written poorly it is still a triumph of a book. Within the first few pages I was hooked to the characters. When I opened the book I was immediately transported to 1766. It was nice to read a well written romance. The book was romantic as well as hilarious. I found myself laghing outloud one minute and the next minute saying "awww".

I finished this book in half a day because I couldn't put it down. Right now my book is with my friends because they wanted to read it and trust me they all love it as well. I totally recommend this book to anyone!

   Summary: Slightly predictable, yet worth the time.
The story line is a bit cliche: A man dressed in all black, bearing a simple black mask, becomes a beacon of hope to a small town, while romancing the town's most beautiful and independent girl...a bit like Zorro, only set in colonial New England. However, while it is obvious what the outcome will be, the journey there is what makes this such a good read. Deveraux's use of humorous situations and comical dialog is what sets this tale apart from all other similar writings. I found this story truly enjoyable.

   Summary: The Scarlet Pimpernel with humour
The story is a variation of the Scarlet Pimpernel but with a dash of humour added. I loved this book. I liked both characters and I was glad that the heroine stayed faithful once she got married. I loved the fact that Alex was jealous of his alter ego. Made me laugh out loud. Hope that I discover other JD books as good as this one.

   Summary: AAAAAh Jude!
This was the first book I ever read of Jude Deveraux's. I was 16 and I fell in love with it. I have reread it about 4 times since then. The banter between the two lead characters is the best part of the book. She thinks he is just a foppish dandy, little does she know.....well that would spoil it for all of you. I recommend this book, its a keeper. Jude, hurry up and write something....I'm waiting!!!!!!

   Summary: Great Book
I thought this was a very funny and enjoyable book. I almost felt like there were three main characters instead of two. When I started the book I wasn't sure if it was really of interest to me (I thought it was going to be like Batman or Spiderman about a guy with an alter ego)(even though it wasn't!) but after the first chapter I was totally hooked. I really enjoy this author's books.
