WHAT A GREAT BOOK!

FROM THE CHARACTERS TO THE STORY LINE, MELANIE GEORGE DOES NOT MISS A SINGLE DETAIL. THIS BOOK IS ONE YOU DEFINITELY WON'T PUT DOWN... HAPPY READING:)

Captivating and Funny

Ms. George has done it again. By that I mean, even if I did start reading this author with one of her more recent novels, I have now set out to read all she has done and, so far, I am not disappointed. This, "Like No Other", is not your run of the mill romance. Her heroine is a cocky street smart urchin and her hero is an absolutely tender, strong, smart, sensual...need I say more...I loved him! Kate, aka the Fox, was a delight, making you both laugh and cry. Secondary characters, especially Holmes the butler provided the perfect foil for Ms. George to perfect her talent for snappy dialog in a most amusing and delightful way. Hat's off to you on this keeper and am looking forward to reading "Handsome Devil".

LOTS OF FUN!!!

I really love a book that can make me laugh AND cry (perhaps laugh more than cry ). LIKE NO OTHER did both -- and did them well. Kate was delightful. Alec was my kind of hero. And Holmes and Anthony -- well, all I can say about them is that I hope to see them return in future books by Ms. George.

A Captivating Tale

Clothed in tattered rags and dirt, Kate hides her true identity. She is The Fox, a ragamuffin who leads a group of youthful thieves. When Alec Breckridge discovers that the young "he" is really a "she," he is determined to transform Kate into the woman she was meant to be. Alec is a wonderful hero -- kind, sensitive, and loving. Independent Kate challenges his sense of honor and quickens his pulse with desire. The story has several twists. I found myself pulling for this odd couple as they worked to overcome serious obstacles to a meaningful relationship. The love affair of two special secondary characters is an added pleasure. Ms. George's novel moves along at a fast pace and weaves mystery, romance, and drama into every page. LIKE NO OTHER brings a panorama of emotions to the reader. Don't miss this captivating tale!

What a Gem!

As soon as I started this book, I know I couldn't put it down. And that's what happened! Wonderful characters, plot, and lots of action that will keep you going and going to the very end. This book is a must read. I know I would be reading every single titles by Ms. George.
