| If you don't need a plot or real character's, read this book | |
|  | I was so disapointed reading this book. The character's are so poor and it's not at all romantic. The heroine is attracted by a man then she hates him (for good reason) and just the other page they have hot sex again. Logical? It's also a shame that the heroine is still attracted by the man who has beaten her. Hey, Mrs. Henley, in which century do you live?
| | LOVED IT - the second time, too! | |
|  | I've acquired a collection of about 70 novels, but only about 10 are reserved in my mind as "the BEST I've ever read". This is one of them. Just finished reading it for the second (or was it third?) time - and it never ceases to stir my emotions. The heroine is the strong, willful, and persevering woman that we all want to be - with a bit of wonderful attitude. We come to know her very well (I love well-developed characters) as the book is written mostly from her perspective - but the neat thing is you come to know the hero's mind and emotions just as well in a different and unusual way. The pure passion between the characters is great entertainment, the emotional turmoil is wonderfully wrenching, and the bond of perfect love between them makes you want to LIVE this book - not just read it. If you like this book, you'll like more by Brenda Joyce, Virginia Henley, Susan Johnson, Lisa Kleypas, Laura Kinsale, etc. They are the authors of most of the books in my "BEST EVER" collection. I will never get rid of these books, but continue to read them for years and years.
| | A match made in heaven AND hell! | |
|  | I loved this novel.....First Summer is a great heroine who would do anything in her power to save what is rightfully hers...like any good woman would. Second, the contrast between Ruark and Rory is so powerful... it shows that Summer wants her cake and to eat it too! It also shows that Ruark would go to any lengths to be with the woman he loves...even if that does mean tricking her to be with her. Third, Summer is so brave and headstrong, something most women wish they were, and Ruark is powerful, sensual, and definitly a rake...something every woman wants in a man. Hensley did a fantastic job on this novel!
| |  | | Why not just call this book "Pagan Porn" and be done with it. I am no prude, but honestly I read romances to read about romance. Not just sex. Yes that's great too, but give me some plot, ok? Make the hero/heroine remotely likable. And I know it is important to hook a reader in with the first few pages of a book, but to start a novel off describing someone's penis ("It was the most beautiful ( ) she had ever seen...")is really trashy. Honest! I didn't make it up--go see for yourself. I read that line in the bookstore and vowed if I read this book it would be from the library. So I borrowed it and was duly disappointed. But you don't have to be--read some other novel by henley--A Year and A Day and A Woman of Passion are both quite good.
