Romantic Times
Victoria Alexander is one of the great writers of time travel romance and her newest work,
the rewriting of the legend of Sir Galahad, is a gutsy and brilliant work of art. The story
line is crisp, action-paced, and invigorates the Arthurian mythos. The lead protagonists do
not need a wizard to be considered a magical couple. Merlin and the other support players
are well drawn and add to the fast-moving novel. Fans of the time travel romance, the
Arthur legend, and Medieval romances will Believe that they are partaking in the making
of a new legend, Alexander the Great!

Ms Alexander not only gets us to "believe" in magic, she does it with grace and with
just the right touch of finesse. Splendid!

Who will be the last unmarried man standing?
No man in his right mind would want to get married, but every duke, earl, and viscount
knows that a fellow must do his duty in the end. So four of London's most desirable
gentlemen make a wager—the prize going to the one who remains unwed the longest.
Gideon Pearsall, Viscount Warton, thinks he has a fair shot at winning. After all, he's
managed to enjoy the favors of many a lady while resisting the parson's noose. Even when
he's stopped dead in his tracks by the most scandalous woman in all of London Judith,
Lady Chester he vows to have her bedded but never wedded.
Beautiful, and more than a little bit naughty, Judith has always kept herself within the
bounds of respectability, even while playing by her own rules. And the experience has
taught her to avoid marriage. She has no desire to resist Warton's hot kisses, and his
tempting touch is impossible to ignore.
But soon both Judith and Gideon can't help but wonder ... is it possible to be a little
bit wicked and still follow your heart? from the publisher
