The male character is a narcissistic macho man without many endearing qualities. I like Julie Garwood and this wasn't my favorite. This book was ok, there was nothing special about it. It's well worth a credit, but I'm overjoyed to get it for $4.95. Although this is one of Ms Garwood's older books I enjoyed it more than her later ones, and would like to see a follow-up of their family.the Duke and Caroline with children: girls with her feisty personality, and his heir and a spare.more about Charity and Paul and the other cousins from Boston. As you are drawn into the story, you can understand, due to back-grounds of the characters, how misunderstandings abound.

Even though the Duke is overbearing, you can understand it, because of his Title and what it means to be a Duke in just doesn't mean that much to Caroline. The characters are likable, although I would have liked to slap some sense into the arrogant, stubborn Duke of Bradford, at times.but with Julie Garwood's superb writing and Anne Flosnik's excellent narration, you can imagine how infuriating it would be for a Duke, the most powerful title in England, just under a Prince, to be opposed by a strong-willed girl from the colonies. As she ministers to the gun-shot victim, she hears someone ride up none other than Jered Marcus Benton, the Duke of Bradford, who holds a gun on her, as she holds a gun on him, and they argue about who will put their gun away first. On the road to see her father, Caroline, her cousin Charity, and a BIG black man named Benjamin hear gun shots and Caroline thwarts an attempted robbery/murder. Later in 1802, 18 year old Caroline, returns to England at her fathers request, after living in Boston for the last 14 years with her Aunt, Uncle and Cousins. It begins in England in 1788, when Caroline is only 4 years old, immediately capturing your attention with the events that take place. It's intriguing, funny, mysterious, filled with sexual tension, has great dialogue, and amazing scenes. "Rebellious Desire" is the first book in a very long time I enjoyed so much I didn't want it to end.
