Review:My family is reading this series aloud before bed every night. The stories are wonderful and the characters are much more rich and complex than those on screen, which is a shame for the latter. That said, I highly recommend this series to anyone with even a passing interest.

Cheers,

Review:Started on Bernard Cornwell's novels because I ran out of Jack Aubrey, Horatio Hornblower, and Ricard Bolitho books to read. Sharpe is equal to these 3 heroic characters. I like Hornblower and Bolitho better as people, but Richard Sharpe is more complex and much more entertaining! Read more

Review:The premise of this was intriguing to me but from the very beginning, I didn't like how the main heroine was essentially hijacked and taken on a ride. There wasn't enough character development early on to keep me interested. Didn't finish. Read more

Review:Not my typical read, but a enjoyable change of pace. I was a little worried by the first few chapters, but that changed suddenly and I found myself so engaged that I couldn't put the book down. Dark Mercy has action, romance, a compelling story line, and believable, well developed characters set in the 1400's. It is marketed as a teen book, although I don't think I would recommend it to my young teenage daughter, but I am conservative in this regard. A great read! Read more

Review:A vivid look at the harsh conditions immigrants were forced to deal with in the 19th century, but even in those difficult times, love can still shine through. I loved this book and I'm looking forward to the next one! Read more

Review:Sometimes there are those novels that take the reader into a different time and place in history so well that they lose themselves in the present day and find themselves transported back in time. Jody Hedlund does such an exceptional job at that, through her research in her latest Orphan Train series and the first novel, With You Always. You can help but cheer for the underdog, hope the plans for the wicked are exposed and that true love always finds a way, and you will get all three by the clos... Read more

Review:This book a roller coaster ride of suspense with scandalous twists and turns on every page. It is so filled with immaculately researched detail that the action springs to life with an authenticity that educates as it shocks and thrills. The ruthless cunning of robber barons is legendary but in these pages we understand how these men were able to manipulate and circumvent all the safeguards of democracy. And in the midst of everything is a heartbreakingly modern romance. But most of all this ... Read more
