The Pretenders -- A Refreshing Read
Joan Wolf's first-person narrative has got to be the best technique ever employed by a romance writer. This book is another one of her winners. Both the hero and heroine are rich, likable characters, and I found the idea of them being friends before lovers interesting. It worked very well, and neither was the plot something we've all heard before. "The Pretenders" was a refreshing read. I'd ...

Cinderella Outgrows the Glass Slipper and Other Zany Fractured Fairy Tale Plays

Read, Write, AND Have Fun?!
I find Cinderella Outgrows the Glass Slipper a valuable resource for ideas for helping students read and write for a variety of purposes, one of which is for enjoyment! Teachers are always looking for practical and intriguing ways to teach writing and build students'motivation to write, so the creative ideas for addressing national language arts standards and teaching writing for a variety of ...

Corruption Goes National
In Black Diamond, I found it fascinating that the author was able to show that corruption -- police and crime -- in a distant city such as Los Angeles can easily be imported to even distant semi-rural areas, and then like a cancer, begin also to grow there. And that murder, for whatever reason, knows no regional boundaries. This book shows it all.

Someone Named Eva

*We're not talking "enjoyable" here - because humans seem incapable of learning from History*
A child in Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia, Milada received a prized telescope for her eleventh birthday although no gift was expected. Her father instructed his daughter to always look for the North Star to find her way. It was a time of shortages & ration cards and being fearfully hemmed in by soldiers who demanded Nazi salutes, and yanked families apart in the night. Milada was not a Jew but ...

A Family Saga...
The Rebel and the Rose starts in the Spring of 1773 in England. Lady Barbara Maxwell, a confirmed Englishwoman, is about to be married off - against her wishes - to Rebel American Alan Maxwell. This book is different from the Regency romances that Joan Wolf usually writes. It is more of a romantic, family saga. Beginning with Barbara and Alan's courtship in England, the book takes us to America ...

A Regency Valentine

Signet, 1991

a great Regency anthology.....
most anthologies I've read fall into the 50 percent or lower catagory. Meaning half, mostly even less, of the stories in the anthology are even readable. Not so in this book. Of the five stories, 2 were great (wolf and Rice's), 2 very good (Balogh and Kingsley) and only the Lange story didn't appeal to me. Surprisingly Miss Balogh's story was not up to her usual standard-but still good. ...

The Arrangement

Top notch regency with a very engaging heroine and hero
I have read several of Joan Wolf's Regency novels and have enjoyed them all. "The Arrangement" is a very well-written book with strong lead characters and an interesting plot. The first person point of view (the story is told by the heroine in the past tense) is a refreshing change of pace from the usual romance novel. Because the heroine, a young widow by the name of Gail Saunders, is telling ...

A pleasure to read!
I'm amazed that more people don't like this book! Only three stars overall, were are the literary appreciators in this world, standing behind the door me thinks! It was a great read from beginning to end, and it reminds me a lot of the Cadfael series of books in that it is set in the same time period but follows the fortunes of the young Hugh Corbaille (de Leon) and his search for his true ...

No all that bad.
I've never read a Joan Wolf book before, therefore I had nothing to gauge it by. I liked the book. The idea of someone wanting to marry for love is quaint but I can't fault her either. Just because someone is handsome don't mean you have to sleep with them, there are some really good looking guys that are so wrapped up in themselves they don't have time for anyone else. A lot of people married ...

His Lordship's Mistress and Married by Mistake: Regency 2-in-1 (Signet Regency Romance)

5 reviews
Joan Wolf, Melinda McRae

Signet, 2000

A delightful two-fer!
Even if I didn't care for--or read--His Lordship's Mistress, although I did, I would still have given this book 5 stars. Married by Mistake has been on my list of top ten Regency favorites since I read it when it was new, and re-reading it now has only confirmed my good sense in having put it there in the first place. The writing is crisp and clean and immensely witty, the plot devious and ...

Fabian

More Than Just a Kid's Book
Teach, teach, teach. Fabian I find to be more than simply another book for children. There is science here, plus also needed social studies. More in the nature of Charlotte's Web and Trumpet of the Swan than many of the other children's books out now. Which is not to knock pure entertainment, for in Fabian there's more than an ample amount of reading fun -- but fun with a edge toward a child's ...

Lord Richard's Daughter

Perfect!
What a perfect novel! A hero and heroine which are intelligent, kind and perfect to each other. A real conflict, historical accuracy, wonderfull characterization, exotic places, all in some very fast 200 pages. One of Joan Wolf's better books, if not the best. This, by the way, is saying a lot.
