Historical Romance Novels

A friend recommended Francine Rivers' "Mark of the Lion" series to me, and I am so grateful!! I love to read, but it is not often that my life is enriched by a work of fiction. From the very first book I found myself not only engaged, but...

While I found the writing and the stories in these books engaging and interesting, I was bothered by the unrealistic characters who were often too perfect and often behaved in manners that seemed to be uncharacteristic. As is often the case in...

I wish I could have chosen 3 1/2 stars. This series is not a 3 but it is not quite a 4 or a 5. I have read the first 2 books and I enjoyed them. However, I personally feel that Mrs. Rivers could have left some of the detail out. While what...

I first picked up this book when I was 11. A beautiful novel that brings medieval England to life,it also connects many historical figures. Geoffrey Chaucer, who was Katherine's brother-in-law, is portrayed as talented and humerous and a little...

I ordered Katherine because I absolutely loved Green Darkness by this author. I can only say that it reads very much like any other "romance" novel put out by the thousands on a daily basis.

Although this is not "Great Literature", it is at least a decent bit of writing based on the lives of actual historical figures and a fair overview of late fourteenth century English history. Learning a bit of history never hurt anyone, even if...

Gregory's writing is beautiful but the main character, Hannah, is an idiot. I know Gregory wanted to create Hannah as a "fool" in her personal life as well as life at court, but she so truly ridiculous that she is unrealistic. I loved the entire...

I loved this story, as is the case with all J.D. Robb In Death books. Susan Erikson is wonderful; the different voices she uses for each character is amazing.

I've been an avid fan of the series since it's beginning. I'm on my second time through them. This time I'm listening to the audio versions. The previous recordings have been fabulous. Susan Ericksen is so talented. But this one..... She changed...

Nora Roberts (writing as J.D. Robb) is a brilliant writer. She's able to weave a tale that entertains, enraptures and imprisons the senses. You are left spellbound by her grasp of storytelling and her expert use of language...

I was re-reading The Heir just before this came out, having no clue what this new book would be about. Having read all her other books, I knew there had to be a story about Raphael Locke and Ophelia Reid. Well you can imagine my surprise when I...

I was really disappointed by this novel. It started off slow and just when things were getting interested the plot stalled and then abruptly ended. I have never read one of her books where the ending seemeed like an afterthought. I certainly had...

Johanna Lindsey has definately been able to recapture some of the old magic that was lost from her previous titles. The Devil who Tamed her was a wonderfully delightful read with the two main characters being very interesting. Ophelia and Rafe...

This series is a bit like Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House on the Prairie" series w/a faith inspiring twist. The books are easy to understand and quick to read. Whether you are six or older, you will enjoy reading about Marty 'n Clark's family th

I have not read the book yet but am extremely disapointed in the price! Not sure why Amazon is charging $5 for a $3 book that only has 87 pages.
I agree with Diana it is not worth buying this from Amazon.

I love the characters of Lily and Alex. They seemed almost as if they were real people. I felt their pain especially Lily's over the loss of her daughter, and I love the Derrick Craven and am glad to see that he gets a book of his own later on.

I cannot believe these reviews. I bought this book because of them, I was a little more than disappointed. I love a tortured hero. THe plot had alot of possiblitlies. It was simply the writing. Absolutely elementary level. I'm so sorry but...

I got this book from an annual book swap, along with more than 20 other books. I admit that I wasn't particularly eager to read this book right away because the synopsis at the back of the book is not that interesting (and considering I have a...
