Leisure Books, 1999

Mesmerising, engrossing, haunting!!!

+ Extremely enjoyable reading!
+ Well worth reading!

In Melanie Jackson's second book, and in it she weaves a tale of the Scottish Highlands, with the canny feyness that makes you think she lived it in another time. I write history and lore of the Picts and Celts, so I generally cringe when I read a Scottish Historical. NOT THIS ONE!!! From the ...

A weaving of a haunting romantic tale under a skillful hand!

+ Exciting historical romance

As a child I love Patrick McGoohan as the Scarecrow of Romney Marsh, then later Oliver Reed and Peter Cushing in the the retelling of Dr. Syn in Hammer's Night Creatures. So the tales of smugglers early on caught my vivid imagination. And that is precisely what Melanie Jackson does with Amarantha. ...

Avon, 2000

Written with absolutely no intentions for sequel(s), author met her goal

+ Charming 4 1/2 stars book

I loved this book! I hated to see it end. I loved all the characters, and I can see why the author intentionally did not want to write sequels, and accomplished the task by being sure that every character in the book who was eligible (not to mention 'straight') for marriage got married in this ...

I love stuf like this.

+ Hilarious!

The Deed is a fantastic read. It delivers a funny, heartwarming story. This is the third Lynsay Sands book that I have read, and I really like here writing. It's witty and she tells a darn good story. Anyways, my only problem with the story, which are not major ones, are this: The heroine is a ...

True Stuart

+ Moon Rise

Now, THIS is a Stuart novel. As the other reviewers have summarised the storyline so well, I won't rehash. Suffice it to say, that this one is firmly planted on my keeper shelf and won't be going a-nowhere any time soon. 'Moonrise' is yet another example of Stuart daring to be bad, and doing it ...

I would recommend Manon to anyone! This is a well researched, highly detailed, amazingly written novel. The hero and heroine are charming and brave and the plot enthralling.

Catherine Coulter

Onyx, 1990

Best of the series

+ Good but not the best...
+ Fun Read.

This one is the best of the "Song" series - the hero is not a rapist, the heroine isn't dumb, and the plot is actually a bit different from the others. Nice light reading - renews my faith a little in the author.

paranormal brilliance from JAK

+ The Lost Colony romances are great fun!
+ A Lush Futuristic Romance Fantasy & A Fun Read!!

Since they repackaged two from this series under the title of Harmony, I got these out and decided to reread them, and found I enjoyed them more the second time around. This is JAK writing as the Jayne Castle she saves for her paranormal tales, and it's her best writing of late. I have been a wee ...
