Another great story by Debbie Macomber-continued from her Texas series-you feel like you know everyone in the story from having read the earlier books-great reading
The plot was just extremely cliche. Happily married husband and wife with 2 children. Wife and children go out-of-town. Sexy girl in town now interested in husband. Both are seen together and...
I have read other books by Debbie Macomber and thoroughly enjoyed them. However, in my opinion this one did not measure up to her previous works. Maybe if I had read the previous titles in this...
This is a lackluster effort from a talented author. There is a pleasant hero, Nicolas, and a pretty heroine, Juliana. As children, they were wards to their evil uncle/guardian, Trenton...
Juliana and Nicholas were childhood friends. They grew up together in Lychwood Hall, the home of Nicholas' uncle. They were considered outsiders by Uncle Trenton, Aunt Lilith, and their...
Another boring book. There were far too many unlikable characters in this novel. The ones that were likable had no personality at all despite the author telling us that they did. Too much of a...
A fast-moving, refreshing, fun read. This plot reminded me of the Mr. & Mrs. Smith spy series... where for the sake of accomplishing a spy mission, Sebastian and Maggie pretend marriage. And their...
"Ghostwritten" is the kindest assumption I can make
"Marriage Most Scandalous" is a dry tale set in England, with a young lady and a mercenary who used to be a lord and her neighbor. The plot is incredibly convoluted, and every few pages someone...
Here's my sister, Shannon Hyle's feelings on this author (and I heartily agree): "I hate it when I get in the mood for a certain author and nothing else will do. Sometimes one book will...
I have read almost all of Hugo's novels and I feel he was a master beyond most as far as story telling goes. This particular books is ingenious with the various characters and the twists and turns...
While I totally love Heather Graham, and this series inparticular, there was something missing in this book. I thought she could have explored Julian and Rhiannon's relationship better. It sort of...
I first read Glory and then read Rebel. I loved both of them. I can't wait to start from the first and read to Heather Grahams latest of the MacKenzie family "Triumph". Each are so accurate in...
Disappointing is a very gracious word! Heather Graham usually pens a more vibrant heroine and hero. Yet for some reason I could not come to terms with Rhiannon. She was 'bland', depicted as...
Bobbi Smith's historical romance 'Eden' is the epitomy of Civil War romance. Eden LeGrand is a young woman in Confederate Louisiana. Though she usually helps at the Homeless Haven Orphans' Asylum,...
Gnart, Gnart! I have become retarded. I feel like I have just had a Lobotomy. The pale pink/white matter of my brain is now a putrid brown/green mush. I've forgotten my owm name.
This is the first book I have read by Michele Jaffe and I am not impresed. I am an avid mystery reader and romantic suspense reader, there was suspense (little) and romance, but not enough of...
While I admire the historical background of this novel, I couldn't believe how unbearable dull it was! I couldn't believe this was written by the same man who wrote LIBERTY TAVERN, THE OFFICERS'...
A genunine feeling nineteenth century historical fiction
In 1827, Columbia University students Jeremy Biddle, George Stapleton, and John Sladen had become the freres trois for their close friendship. However, their harmony is destroyed when Jeremy's...
The beginning was promising, as always. But then, once Amanda managed to make him want her, and especially after they made love for the first time, she became SOOOOOO stubborn, annoying, mulish,...
I bought this book awhile ago and I really enjoyed this book. I have reread it several times since. Martin and Amanda really keep you jumping through the book. You know that they are in love, even...
I felt that the author wrote the same ol' things over and over. She explained too many times how Amanda and Dexter felt, and why they couldn't do certain things. She seemed to be trying to fill...
An epic, far-reaching saga that makes the tension of history come vividly alive through the eyes of ordinary men and women.
Written by former columnist Lee Ann Newton and Civil War researcher and Fort Sam Houston Garrison Chaplain James A. Benson, Beneath The Shadows is a historical novel set amid the fury and...
A potentially powerful story cheapened by gratuitous content
Rare is the book that I give up on, but this was almost one of them. The first section of the book includes some graphic content that struck me as extremely gratuitous. It was disturbing enough...
Im not read yet th?s book but ? read meett?ng at master book so good ? wanna learn all of her book and read ? w?ll read holding fire take care on yourself elissa
A novel with a timely topic is blemished by a turgid and disjointed writing style. None of the characters is even moderately well developed, and rather crude ethnic stereotyping abounds. The...
I have been a fan of Cassie Edwards for years. I am retired and read 2 books a week. This book as well as her others are good reading. I am Native and relate to and learn history of different...
Although I really enjoy Cassie Edwards, this was not my favorite of hers. I did like this book, as I have all the books I have read by Cassie Edwards. I just had a problem with the story line....
This is the first and last Cassie Edwards book I will ever read. I read the whole book to see if it could get any dumber and it did not disappoint. I tried to count the number of times God...
Sylvie Matton presents an unusual story, fictional in all its moment to moment detail, but true and exquisitely researched throughout. The "whore" is Hendrickje Stoffels, the woman who lived with...
This is a great little book. I enjoyed it tremendously. It brings the artist to life and shows how life with the Rembrandt felt like for Hendrickje, a country girl who became Rembrandt's common...
REMBRANDT'S WHORE takes place during the second half of Rembrandt's life, in Amsterdam. It tells the story of Hendrickje Stoffels, a 20 year old girl who moves in from the country, in order to...
I couldn't get over the fact that they didn't get married in the end and were happy to live as pirates even though they had no need to. There was nothing redeeming about either of them
Unfortunately, other than the well-crafted writing, the story itself was quite unrealistic and not convincing. I felt the characters were twenty-first century people dressed in costumes. They...
i am a big fan of the second world war periode so i was very exited about this book. i think it's the first time where i hate a hero so much i wish the writer had killed him! i do...
This turned out to be a suspense Historical Romance which I found refreshing. I enjoyed reading the book so much that I had a hard time putting it down to go into the doctor's office! I...
I did enjoy this book -- but it's not one that I'd go back and read again. It was great knowing more about what happened with the Henry's and their friends. And I think the little "surprises" that...
This is one of those books that you think Why wasn't is longer? I found it to be very entertaining and I finished reading it like at 3 in the morning! I couldn't put it down and it made me want to...
This is a first book by Mary Jo Putney I read, and I must say I enjoyed it a lot. The story is about two people thrown together in unusual circumstances, about getting to know and love each other...
I don't think I've read a novel as uninviting, as boring and as unimaginative as Mary Jo Putney's THE BARGAIN in quite some time. I read the re-write without having read the original. In THE...
After reading Ms. Putney's "The Rake", this book fell short of my expectations. Nevertheless, well written, believable characters. Ms. Putney masters her craft. I would give this book 5 stars if...
Lady Sophia's Lover has everything, revenge, intrigue, Bow Street runners, a dashing bad guy with a questionable past. From page 1, this book hooks the reader in and does my favorite bit, grants...
I very much enjoy the Wallflower series by Kleypas but despite disappointment with _Someone to Watch Over Me_ due to a weak and predictable plot, I thought I'd still give _Lady Sophia's Lover_ a...
This was a bland, uninspired story about two pretty boring, though beautiful, people. The heroine comes to the hero, Sir Ross, head of Bow Street, under the pretense of a desire for revenge...
