Review:This book is everything one hopes for in a romance and much more! The strength, independence and humor of both Mara and Temple/William makes you fall in love with both of them. You can't help rooting for them both anymore then you will be able to put the book down. I loved it!!! Read more

Review:I watch for every book written by Sarah MacLean, as I know from her other books that I will enjoy her gift of storytelling, and the excellent writing skill. And this book did just that. Thanks, Sarah MacLean! Read more

Review:Badly written, childish rubbish, a 12 year old could've written better. The story was shallow & boring, nothing much really happened throughout the book, the characters were unbelievable & their conversations with eachother were cringe worthy, the author seemed more concerned with describing the stupid outfits the main character wore than anything else, which were irrelevent to thee story, I found myself rolling my eyes many times at the mundane conversations that went on. A complete was... Read more

Review:The book came across very weak. Almost if someone else wrote the novel. The last three novels came across the same way. What happened to the strong writer from years ago ? Even the love scenes were weak. De Lohr , The Wolf , Great Protector , etc..... Those were unforgettable. I am a great fan of Kathryn Le Veque but I wish she would come back strong and write novels with her former strengh Read more

Review:I found the story line engaging, but the characters really pulled me into the book. They ring true, and I could imagine myself sitting with them and enjoying being part of the conversation. If you enjoy well written prose and great characters, you should enjoy The Essex Serpent. Read more

Review:this was a first for not only this book but for this author as well. The story was O.K. but I was expecting more from this author. It didn't get steamy until a little over half the book. If you like just a tiny little heat this is for you. I liked this story at near the almost end. It was hard for me to get into this story. Read more

Review:Fans of "The Last of the Mohicans" will love this adventure/romance! "Surrender" is a refreshing break from your current Brit-set historicals. This book is highly evocative in every sense: writer's voice, plot, emotional gut punches -- a true page turner! I was in the mood for something different and "Surrender" delivered.

The hero is super sexy and incredibly strong/powerful. The heroine is sympathetic and believable -- a lady brought low and dragged into danger, she rises to the cha... Read more

Review:This was a thoroughly enjoyable book. The second in the series, it actually made me laugh out loud several times. I bought the third in the series, Magenta Mine as well but it was rather short and seemed thrown together. Read these books with an open mind and don't overthink things. Overall I give this book 5 stars. It won't win any award for great literature but then again, I didn't expect that to happen. Read more

Review:On the encouragement of a friend I read this book. Very early in the book, the author mentions the contents of one meal. Boiled venison with "almond milk". In 12th century England, Wales, Europe, I'm confident they were oblivious of a food called almond milk. That is a rather recent addition to culinary possibilities. There were so many things the main character, Eleanor, did that were just not done in that point in history! An enemy's daughter, betrothed to the king or not, would never hav... Read more

Review:As always, I love Julia Quinn. She gives you amazing characters you can't forget. I've always liked Iris in the other Smythe-Smith series and this made me like her even more. The plot line goes along a different path then the normal courting that we see in her books and there's a little more mystery with this just as the title suggests. Read more
