Do I HAVE to give a star?? Horrible Horrible H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E!!!!
I started reading Catherine Coulter in my early teens (at the time, my twenty-something year old sister had billions of historical romance novels around the house). I read Coulter as well as other...
Wow, I am shocked at such diverse reviews of Mad Jack!
Guess this is a "love it or hate it" style of book. Actually, I lisitened to the unabridged CD version, which I found incredibly entertaining. I couldn't turn it off! Perhaps those that love it,...
To be fair, I think " Mad Jack" deserves at least 3 stars.
I'm not really a Catherine Coulter Fan but I like all her Sherbrooks audio books read by Anne Fosnik. I like her twist and turn of the story, her sense of humor, wits and dialogues. I also like...
If you are interested in a female with no self esteem, insecurity, and the ability to let doubt control all of her decisions this is the book for you. How many times can you think yourself out of...
Amanda will do anything to put her sister through hell and if any man looks at Marian, Amanda makes sure she woos him first and even takes him to bed just to spite her sister. Marian just wants...
I am glad that I read this book even though it got terrible reviews. While I do not think this is J.L. best book, I do not think it is that bad either. I read it in less than a day. It is a light...
Unbelievably dull. Reading this book was like sitting in a doctor's office waiting room. I just kept waiting and waiting for something to happen. Nothing in this book really made any sense. The...
Original and thought-provoking story about the First World War
Fictionalised account, but based on some solid factual research, Jody Shields boldly tells the story of soldiers brutally disfigured by facial injury during the First World War. Shocking, and yet...
In the midst of the 'War to End All Wars' a young widow finds her estate taken over as a hospital for soldiers with facial wounds. Her grief threatens to consume her, as the doctors struggle to...
generally love Stephanie Laurens - but this book was really, really boring! the two main characters are barely even one-dimensional. She likes visiting her orphanage once a week, he likes making...
The book itself isn't all that bad (the orphanage subplot with the villain and railroads is, in fact, better than those in most of Laurens' other novels). The main problem is that the hero,...
This the first book by Catherine Coulter that I picked and, based on this experience, it will be the last one. All plot development stops in the middle of the book, and ends with the wedding....
I read all three of the regency series and loved them when i heard about the scottish bride i was excited to go and read it. However when i started the book it wasn't exciting i kept on reading the...
While this book was well written, it took me months to get through it. It just didn't hold my interest. I had to force myself to read until the end. I found the author going back and forth with...
While I love reading books, audio books have been the very convenient for me on those long commutes home. This audio book has been the best I've heard in a long time. The author ability to weaves...
Laura Esquivel is not your ordinary writer of mundane stories as clearly witnessed in her previous work. 'Malinche' was interpreted from Spanish and tells the saga of a young native girl. Always...
Like several others, I really enjoyed "Like Water For Chocolate." I was looking forward to another book by Laura Esquivel, and this story seemed interesting - I knew nothing about the character of...
If I wasn't desperately looking for something to take my mind off my worries right now I would have not persisted in reading this. It is overly simple and too obvious. As for it being a love story...
There is just nothing about this novel to recommend it. What little romance there is between the H and H is so sterile, with no emotion, no sensuality and no poignancy, that it is essentially non...
This was the first book I'd read by this author (under any of her many pen names!). So, with no expectations or comparisons to make regarding her previous work, I enjoyed 'Wait Until Midnight' as a...
Quick intoduces Caroline and Adam to each other in such a bazaar manner, that you see Quick's creativity and taste the ironical in a most entertaining way. This book is best enjoyed on the...

This book is fine if you like your heroines annoying and dumb and fully convinced that their annoying dumbness is a sign of of their intelligence and "feistiness".
This is an interesting romance set "late in the reign of Queen Victoria" and it throws you into the story from the get-go. You first meet Concordia Glade and her young students as they are running...
Concordia Glade is teacher who is on the run with her four students. Ambrose Well is a man who make inquries for private persons. When the six meet after a daring escape from a remote castle they...
Having read Coulters first two Bride novels, and fell in love with the only Sherbrooke girl child during those, I was excited to see that she got her own book. However, I was slightly disappointed...
As I mentioned in my review of The Sherbrooke Bride, I bought this trilogy together. I guess I felt an obligation to read it through, although my inclination was to stop halfway through the first....
I love Sinjun and I really liked Colin as characters.Colin's children and his sister-in-law were good characters too.But somehow from CC's outline of the book to the fully written thing it just...

This is an earlier Kay Hooper from her romance days. In it, Lara plays the role of Rapunzel in a community theater production. The prince, played by Devon, falls for Lara, but their romance is...
Just a warning for those who've been following/ collecting Kay Hooper since the early days. This book appears to be a re-publication of Loveswept #348, so check your collection before you purchase!
I usually love Kay Hooper's books, but this book is not my favorite. The book is so boring with a flat plot. Too many coincidence. I don't feel like I want to continue reading the book.
The story begins in a titillating manner with Lord Beecham eavesdropping on one noblewoman, Helen, instructing another on the advantages of "disciplining" her husband sexually. Beecham is...
Reading this book is like watching a porn movie: all sex and no plotline. Another thing I found unbelievable is that Helen took back her maiden name and became a "Miss" again. From what I...

I loved Drew and Gabrielle's story. Gabrielle a pirates daughter sent to England to find a husband. Drew the brother of Georgina wife to ex- pirate Jame Malory, Drew is also know has a Rake and a...
If I could give this zero stars I would. This book has another obnoxious, abusive, selfish, self-centered rapist as a hero. He even offers to make amends for raping her by not turning her over to...
This wasn't her best, not compared to the rest of her books. There were way too many dry spots and I never felt pulled in or that magical connection. The story also lacked believability and seemed...

After reading Firebird which I thoroughly enjoyed I wanted to read everything by Janice Graham but I was very disappointed in The Tailor's Daughter. Too drawn out and not interesting or exciting...
A Tailor's Daughter's Adventures Amongst the Aristocracy.
Well written if implausible historical romance. This is the story of Veda, the sartorially talented, deaf daughter of a fashionable Tailor. A hardworking, successful Tradesman. Veda...
This is a very good book. I have to say if you have ever had a family member who is hearing impaired this book will help you to understand what they go through. I only wish I had read this book...
After having gone through the previous two books in about a week, I knew what I was getting into when I started "The Deception of the Emerald Ring." I was expecting (and slightly looking forward...
I couldn't finish this book. Lauren Willig manages to commit within the first 70 pages nearly every fault I attribute to shaky first novels and bad historical romances. I've read too many of both...
I bought this book to read as a between-books read. It was light and campy, without too much depth. Like sherbet that is used to cleanse ones palate, The Pink Carnation was able to clear my mind of...
This is my first foray into "Chick Lit." I really enjoyed this book and found the characters interesting and the writing witty and entertaining. I knew after reading the first few pages that this...
