Return to Devil's View

by Rosemary Carter

The search no longer seemed important!

It had seemed to be so simple - return to Devil's View, find the paper that Simon considered essential, and return to marry Simon.

But Jana's first encounter with Clint Dubois, the present owner, had been disastrous. Now she had to gain admittance to his home under false pretenses.

Although Clint Dubois made it clear that he didn't trust her, Jana found herself attracted to him. Then she was in a real quandary: still tied to her commitment, but not wanting to fulfill it!

I liked the way RC evoked a romantic connection between the house-Devil's view-and the personality of its owner-the hero. The heroine's dillema …Jana is already engaged to om when she meets the Hero and she falls in love with him is easier to sympathize with as she begins to fall in real love with Clint Dubois. …initially i felt it was quite mysterious for the h to go to Devils view to retrive/steal certain papers from the H s house just to please ber fiance and his mother, and it is only in the last chapter that we get to know why. The papers have information about her real parents. Jana deceives the H and starts to work as his secretary thereby staying at his place ..alone with him..The misunderstanding on the Hero's part is that he thinks shes doing all this , like the rest of women, just to ensnare him into marriage because of his money and wealth. So, all along H thinks that the h is acting innocent and virginal and deliberately working for him so she can trap him somehow. However both the leads continally test and assess each other to figure where they stand and eventually end up spending a lot of time together and this is where I as the reader really enjoyed this book because i feel that the writer showed how their romance developed very nicely. Though it wasn't perfect, I couldn't put the book down and enjoyed it immensely.

Jana's come to Devil's View to find a piece of paper that is very important to her. She needs to find it before she marries Simon. Her idea was to ask the new owner for the permission to search. Unfortunately, her unusual meeting with Clint has put that idea to rest.
