Best Christmas Pagaent Ever
I purchased this book simply to replace my original copy, which I loaned out and which was never returned. Reading this book has been a favorite part of my Christmas for many years. While I regret losing my old copy, I am thankful I will now be able to carry on this tradition.

Johanna Lindsey

My Favorite Gentleman Pirate
This is my favorite of the Malory Series. Johanna Lindsey creates romance between the handsome Englishman James Malory and the beautiful American Georgina Anderson. Not only is James Malory a "gentleman pirate" but he is also a "connoiseur of women." Georgina has no intention of falling for the reprehensible rake, but she can't resist his bold, sultry advances. The plot takes the reader to ...

Interesting but Sad
This is one I could not put down. Possibly Torey's best book! Shelia, a bright 6-year-old girl who tied up a 4-year-old and set him on fire and was put in Torey's "crazy kid" class until a space opened up in the State mental hospital for her. She had a high IQ, was a bed wetter, had an abusive, alcoholic father and was abandoned on a freeway by her mother who kept her younger brother. She ...

Great book!
This is one of my favorite books. I usually don't read a book more than once, but I've read this one a couple of times. I recommend it highly.

A childhood favorite
When I was younger I was pretty much obsessed with this book. As in I was the dorky girl that checked it out from the elementary school library over and over again in a most obsessive fashion. But why not? Not all adult horror writers always turn their talent to children's literature for a book or two. So why can't children have a truly scary book guaranteed to send shivers up the spine? ...

Thank You Anne, Thank You Very Much
A running gag throughout this series involves the giant statue of Vulcan that looms over Birmingham and literally moons half of the town. Well it seems that someone put a hole in Vulcan's head and he of the massive moon is in need of repair so the people of Birmingham come to his aid. Among other things they hold a fund-raiser at the Alabama theater that features several acts including a chorus ...

Through The Storm
After reading Indigo and learning about Raimond and his brothers, I was hoping to read more about them. I enjoyed reading about the budding romance and attraction between Sable and Raimond. I tell you Ms. Jenkins' really knows how to make a story come to life. She makes you feel like you're right there in the heat of all the action and the drama. She entertains as well as educates. I can't say ...

We -- my three homeschooled grandchildren and I -- are going through the Laura Ingalls Wilder series of books for the second time. We read them aloud during story time, and love every minute. These are books written ...

Simply Pleased
Topaz is a must read. I am a new Beverly Jenkins reader amd since reading Topaz, I have read two more books that have ties to Topaz. I wondered what happened to two of the characters in the book and low and behold.....I found my answer. If you like to read about life in the 1800's with the mail order brides........this book will not disappoint you. I plan to read every available book written by ...
