Something Wonderful by Judith McNaught

The tempestuous marriage of Alexandra Lawrence, an innocent country girl, and Jordan Townsende, the rich and powerful Duke of Hawthorne, is about to face its ultimate test of tender loyalty. Swept into the endlessly fascinating world of London society, free-spirited Alexandra becomes ensnared in a tangled web of jealousy and revenge, stormy pride and overwhelming passion. But behind her husband's cold, arrogant mask, there lives a tender, vital, sensual man...the man Alexandra married. Now, she will fight for his very life...and the rapturous bond they alone can share.

Ok, I was a little cautious about reading this. I had read A Kingdom of Dreams and I hated that book. I mean, hated it with a passion.

I actually loved this book. Oh man, my heart broke for Alex when she found out the kind of man Jordan was. All her illusions shattered, but I was rooting for them to find their way back to each other. Sigh, I will have to buy this book. I bought my copy used and it's kind of battered. So I want a nice new copy.

Alex was sweet and innocent. She wasn't stupid or clingy. Yes, she was naive, but it added to her charm. She wasn't stupid naive. I just wanted to shake Jordan sometimes. He was so cold to her sometimes.

So yes, I loved this book.
