Review:There is something unsettling and incongruous in this acclaimed love story, at least for me.

As one goes through the story, the characters turn more and more irrational, abhorrent and impetuous. Their feelings for each other appear more a reflection of either habit or ego. And then through the episodes of faith-healing and religious differences, the novel takes a turn even more inexplicable as it tries to conclude.

In all, the short book begins with great promise. The word play in ... Read more

Review:Like french movies, this book was not about happy endings and a happy storyline. It was a sad, raw, human book. As much as I was disgusted by the actions of the some of the characters, I still enjoyed every minute of reading this book because the storyline is interesting and has a great flow. Read more

Review:I was disappointed in this book, Weiting simplistic and not fully deeloped. Charactersvwere 2 dimensional and jumped from 1 scene to another. The love interest of the main characterbseemed more like a brother sister relationship. Not worth the money. Wait till it comes down in price and then buy it if you want to read it. Read more

Review:Even though the history was extensive and fascinating, I did not enjoy this book. It definitely doesn't fall into any of the traditional romance novel traps. However, I did not find it to be an endearing or charming love story. It wasn't to my personal taste. I found it difficult to become involved with the lead characters. I won't be purchasing another book by this author. Read more

Review:Reviewed by Guest Reviewer/Kimberly & posted at Under the Covers Book Blog

I will start this review off by saying that I am a huge fan of Bertrice Small, albeit a recent one. I first read a Dangerous Love back in 2010 and have been stuck since. Bertrice's books are memorable to say the least.

Orianna Pietro D'Angelo carefully plotted each of her daughter's lives, especially their marriages. The wife a Milanese silk merchant only wanted the best of marriages for her beautiful of... Read more

Review:After reading the first in this series, I was highly doubtful about this next book. As a long time reader of Bertrice Small's, I poo pipes the reviews, and dove into it with great relish, only to feel the lack of that special spark that is unique to the author. I even went so far as to go to her website and ask if there were ghost writers using her name. Bertrice Small herself answered my query, and in a very polite, even kindly reply, she said no ghost writers were ever used, and invited me to ... Read more

Review:This book should become required middle or a least high school reading .... especially with the recent embraceement of bigotry, racism, sexism, xenophobia in America that's been rearing its ugly head with the 2016 elections. Read more

Review:Philippa Gregory's historical novels are powerful and bring personal perspective to the period. I read "The Red Queen" out of order which actually worked out well. When I read "The White Queen" afterward I knew who the people were that were going to have an effect on Elizabeth's life and how her actions were going to create consequences for her. I have enjoyed every Philippa Gregory book I have read ... in particular "Queen's Fool". Read more

Review:The author put lots of thinking on how the people in that period lived. He described people's thought processes vividly. The turn of the story was unexpected at the first thought. Then one would realize that it was in human nature to develop that way. Read more
