Forever in Your Embrace

Rating:
Summary: a bit of a let-down
Review: I've become a recent, enthusiastic fan of Ms. Woodweiss because of her eloquence in her writings and the romance she portrays. Although not exactly dissappointed in this one, I was somewhat expecting more. Call me strange, but the plot seemed too tame. The heroine gets lusted over by many men, is forced to marry one in particular, they go through a misunderstanding, then fall passionately in love and defeat their opposers. yep. that's about it.

Review: IM NOT GOOD WITH WORDS. I HAVE A FAVORITE AUTHOR AND SHE IS KATHLEEN WOODIWISS. I LOVE THE WAY SHE CATCHES MY ATTENTION RIGHT AWAY AS I ENTER INTO A NOVEL AND HOW I STAY ON PINS AND NEEDLES AS EACH ONE OF HER STORIES PROGRESS. SADDLY AS EACH NOVEL ENDS I GO WOW BUT WISH THAT THEY WOULD CONTINUE ON . O HOPE IN THE FUTURE SHE WILL WRITE MORE NOVELS. BECAUSE THEY ARE BOOKS I ALWAYS SAY I WILL ONE DAY READ AGAIN AND EVERY WHERE I GO IF HER BOOKS ARE MENTIONED YOU HAVE A FRIEND TO CONVERSE WITH.

Summary: Not the Woodiwiss I remember
Review: Maybe my memory is just fading with age, but I remember Kathleen Woodiwiss' books having much more passion and excitement than this one. Going back 20 or so years ago, Woodiwiss and Rosemary Rogers were my favorite historical romance writers. The hardback book was over 500 pages. I enjoyed about the first 350 pages but then I just couldn't wait to finish it. I bought it while on vacation as a used library edition for $1.75. Since it was no big investment, I left it in the hotel for the maid. I was disappointed in this book. I think I'll re-read by favorite Woodiwiss, Shanna.

Summary: I love it
Review: Miss Woodiwiss writes in a way that makes you feel just like Synnovea, I could really feel her dilemma's. And the caracters are not at al superficial, the story isn't just about two people but also about the peolple they encounter and help. I just love this story, I must have read it a thousand times already!

Summary: beautifully written. my favorit author
Review: She has put out the best books I have written. This is a wonderfully written book. She also has the best stories that keep you hypnotized from start to finish.

Summary: very disappointed
Review: short and sweet. i totally agree with the lady from elliott city. kathleen woodiwiss has lost her touch. her early books started me reading romances. the flame and the flower is one of my all time favourites. this latest books confirms i will not be purchasing any further of her books. i guess it is time for her to retire or change genres.

Summary: You might want to pass this one up.
Review: Sorry, but I am agreeing with several of the other reviews who don't seem to care for this book too much. I got lost in the detail. I questioned the names, and the bathhouse seemed to be the most popular of places in this book. I loved the idea of the setting being Russia instead of England. I have always enjoyed Woodwiss books but this is definitely not my favorite.

Summary: A Bit of a Disappointment
Review: The first Woodiwiss novel that I read was The Elusive Flame. I quickly became a fan, but I was disappointed in this one. Much like Ashes in the Wind, this book dragged on and on. I found myself skimming ahead to try to find something more exciting. If you can endure it, the book does end on a positive note. I love so many of her others, that I was a little let down by this one.

Summary: over all good book
Review: This is mostly for the lady from Russia that gave the book 5 stars then went on to say how horrible and lacking the book was in its historical accuracy about Russia. Maybe if this woman had a brain, new what she doing, and payed attention to detail she wouldn't be so quick to judge this book. . . I mean come on people. Are you really going to go on what someone this stupid says? She's really bright. . . oh yes. (Hmmm. . .I don't like this book I think I'll give it five stars.) This lady is a winner for sure!!!

Review: This is probably one of the best books I've ever read. I totaly fell in love with the characters Brandon and Heather, and the way the author describes the passion they shared. I honestly wish that there is more of the old time romance in our life now, that would make life more beautiful. So if you're in search for a little bit of passion that is lacking in your life, read the book. I truly recommend it to everyone who wants to learn about the purity of love.
