If you have been here to my little reading corner you know I love a good Jude Deveraux book. I was so excited to return to Nantucket in this second book of the Nantucket Bride series. 

Book Description

The wedding of Alix Madsen and Jared Montgomery is a glorious affair at an elegant little chapel in the woods, followed by dinner and dancing, all while moonlight blankets the festivities in a romantic glow. While most guests are fixed on the happy couple, Jared’s cousin Graydon can’t look away from a bridesmaid, Toby Wyndam. It’s not just her quiet beauty that enthralls him or the way she makes him laugh. Toby possesses the truly remarkable ability of being able to distinguish Graydon from his identical twin brother, Rory. According to family legend, such a gift marks her as Graydon’s True Love.

But Graydon knows there is no possible way that they can ever be together, for he is heir to the Lanconian throne and is to marry a noble woman who has been chosen for him. Yet, intrigued by Toby, he asks her to help him hide on Nantucket for a week away from regal responsibilities. In exchange, he’ll assist her with planning acclaimed novelist Victoria Madsen’s lavish wedding. Since they both know their union is impossible, the pair promises that they will never be more than just friends.

But there’s more going on between Graydon and Toby than her unique power to tell him apart from his twin. At work are forces beyond their control, which are ruled by time itself. Combine that with the magical island of Nantucket, and a seductive spell is cast over Graydon and Toby. If they are to be together, they must change what once was, as well as what will be.

My Thoughts

I have been a huge fan of Jude's since my teen years and returning to her books this past year has been like going home. In this second installment of the Nantucket Bride series, we get to hang out with Toby.

Toby is a woman who knows who she is. Though her mother has always felt she needed someone to take care of her Toby has known she is capable of taking care of herself. She loves living with her roommate Lexie and she adores her new friend Alix. Toby has everything she wants friends, a job, and business as a florist. She is watched over by Jared there isn't anything Toby feels she is missing until she meets Graydon the crown prince of Laconia. when Toby offers to help by letting him stay at her home Toby quickly learns that he is someone she has longed for for a lifetime and didn't even know it;.

Graydon is the crown prince of Lanconia and the old twin to Rory. When Graydon first meets Toby he is shocked by her anger and that she can tell him apart from Rory. There is a saying that the woman who can tell the twins apart is your true love. Graydon is enraptured by Toby but he can't have her due to royal duty or can he? When Graydon begins to fall deeper in love with Toby will he give up all he has been trained for or will he leave the woman he loves behind?

This story was wonderful. I loved how Jude entwined the past with the present. Jude has such a gift for words and creating a story that not only captivates you but keeps you wanting to come back time and time again to revisit old friends. Returning to Nantucket and this story was like coming home and it was even better the second and third time.

I loved how connected Toby and Graydon are in this story. Their love was undeniable and you could tell that it had been there for a lifetime. It was refreshing to see a hero support the heroine and protect her while giving her wings. This was one of my favorite love stories by Jude and I always love it when the Montgomery/Taggert men are involved in any story.
