A REAL Five Star Book

+ sweet and emotional
+ Unique and Refreshing

It's very rare that I give out five stars to a book, but this one definitely made it to the five star pile for me. It was that good. I've heard many times before that romance novels are boring because they are predictable. Let's face it: there's nothing new under the sun. But for me, it's not ...

Great Book

+ What a passion it was

I recently bought my first Sylvia Day book, and I loved her writing. This was my second book, and it was just as great as the first one I read, the prequel to this book, Passion For The Game. You don't need to read the first one to enjoy this book. They each stand on their own. Can't wait until the ...

Couldn't put it down!

+ Darcy and Elizabeth
+ Couldn't put it down and can't keep it on the shelf

Yes, there is sex in this book. It is about a newlywed couple very much in love. If that is something that will offend you, then read something else. After reading a few of these reviews, I was skeptical to start this book, but after reading the authors own advice on P&P sequel, I gave it a ...

+ Hold the Dream
+ A Continuing Saga

I loved this book, but I'm reading them backwards. I started with the last book in the series, this one is the second. However I loved it. Some people may get confused with all the different ties between the families, but the book is a classic among romance novels. Highly recommended for a good ...

A heroine to love

+ Fans of the Darcys will not be disappointed.
+ Elizabeth Ashton's Continuation of Pride and Prejudice

I enjoyed the story, writing and characters. The sisters seem an interesting mix of "silly sisters", headstrong, and one with moralizing to match Mary. The story is mostly told from the perspective of one of the sisters, and she is a heroine who you can both love and emphathize. Mr. Darcy and ...

I read the Woman of Substance and all of the other books following it until this one, which I have finally read. I thought it was done well, contrary to other opinions on here, and stayed engrossed. It begins with Evan Hughes, the grandchild of Glynnis, who is dying at the beginning of the ...
