The velvet promise by jude deveraux5/30/2023 He spends most of this book torn between last and earthly love, versus ethereal forbidden love, and frankly at times it is insulting that he is unable to get past himself. To me Gavin is the least developed of the Montgomery Brothers, even going further into the series. Jude Devereaux is a master of creating a world, and while some themes and scenes may now be distasteful, in the context of setting and the time it was written this is an excellent book, and a wonderful series. However, this book is one of many withing the Montgomery family, and as such fills in some of the context of other books. Nowadays many of the themes in this book would seem to be shocking and even distasteful. The theme of rape was not uncommon, neither was the hero striking the heroine, both of which are in this book. As a teenager I read a number of the romance novels from the seventies and eighties.
