Historical Fiction
Review:Compared to some of your other books, I found this one a little slow moving. But once it got moving I was hooked ! Maybe it was dealing with three couples and their feelings that was my challenge but I enjoyed reading it and would recommend to others to read. Read more
Review:History interests me so I liked the portrayal of a governess' !ife. So isolated. I was reminded of Downton Abbey (which also has a servant Daisy). The total meanness toward the new governess never was totally explained to my satisfaction. History buffs will love this book. Read more
Review:The main character in this book is Scotland. It was like a love letter to this magical place. The storied history of Scotland was captured in this telling of Alistair's and Mary's love. A tumultuous tale of chance meetings that map out your life's journey. A fight to keep what you love and believe in. It was a wonderful stroll through history and a love like no other. This is a romance fan's dream story. 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

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.

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:The book itself was well written and enjoyable. It is my second exposure to this author and, while I like the writing, I detest the marketing strategy which is not unlike that of a drug pusher dealing with a youngster. The first book in a series is made available either for free or for a very low price; that is to get you "hooked" the remaining volumes in the series are then offered at what would be a moderate price for an online book except that the subsequent instalments are really rather shor...
