Harlequin, 2006
Good writing doesn't equal great story
The author has writing skill, I'll admit. This book reads well, at least until about 2/3 of the way through. She can keep a story moving. But the weakness is the heroine. You begin to wonder why is Julia SO resistant to Falk, when he's doing absolutely nothing wrong? He's a good person under ...

The Canterbury Papers : A Novel 27 reviews
Judith Healey, 2005
An excellent read
+ Excellent intrigue, easy reading and historically accurate
I finished this story in one seating. The author wrote a fasinating medieval mystery about Princess Alais' possible son with King Henry II. This is a book worth reading; done by a writer who did her homework well.

COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN!
+ Runaway nuns, pirates and stolen treasure, oh my!
