Summary: I couldn't put it down!
Review: Island of the Swans is an incredible read. Rich with historical detail, its dramatic story moves quickly and leaves a lasting impression. Smart, spunky women, heart-wrenching love stories...what's not to like? More Ciji Ware, please.

Summary: MY FAVORITE ROMANCE EVER!!
Review: This book was published before and then went out of it, which was origionally when I looked for it. They put it back in print and I was overjoyed! This book has it all, romance, torn-between-love, everything. I especially like how Ms. Wares develops her characters--you really know them and care about them.I strongly suggest that everyone read this.

Summary: Very unpredictable
Review: This is a very complex story. From the beginning you know that it is not like your usual historical romances. I found myself not wanting to put the book down. Like all the other readers, I want to know what happened to the main characters after the story ended. Is there a sequel?

Summary: Wuthering Heights meets Diana Gabaldon...
Review: What a great book this was. I never expected such meat from a romance novel, but I was enthralled with the tale. From start to finish you get a real feeling of real people. The heroine, Jane, is flawed, not perfect like most cookie-cutter romance novel heroines.
I liked the ending. It was enough to know for me that they found each other.
As I read the pages of Island of the Swans, I was reminded of Wuthering Heights and Diana Gabaldon's Dragonfly in Amber, as well as the triangle between Rhett, Scarlet & Ashley Wilkes in Gone With The Wind. But Jane is much more a woman of honor than Scarlet O'Hara ever was, and Thomas Fraser more of a man than Ashley Wilkes. Although Thomas Fraser is not quite as dramatic a love interest as Healthcliff, he is sweeter and definitely manly.
I will being running out to get more Ciji Ware novels! I stayed up well into the night to read the ending of this one and I haven't done that in a LONG time.
Well done Ms. Ware!
