Rating:  Summary: Fever - Rye could give anyone a fever! Review: I am a huge Elizabeth Lowell fan and Fever did not disappoint me. You almost have the feeling of a fairy tale as you read this book. Lisa is a beautiful wood sprite and Rye is the lost wanderer.The love scenes are steamy, even the innocent ones! You are captivated by his pain and her healing from the first paragraph. This will go on your keeper shelf.
Rating:  Summary: A light/quick read, but I enjoyed it Review: I liked Chris from Utah's review. Yes, it was unrealistic, but I really liked Lisa. I liked all the characters. Too bad there isn't a book about Rye's sister and brother. I would definitely purchase. A keeper.

Rating:  Summary: "FEVER" is my favorite Elizabeth Lowell book. Review: I literally read the first printing of this book three times before I finished it once. I found myself reading entire chapters again and again. Elizabeth Lowell describes her characters and their situations in such a way that you feel like you know them personally and you are right there with them cheering them on. The story line is unique and the setting she used is picture perfect. I savored this book to the very end. When I finally finished reading it, I put it down for about an hour then picked it back up and started reading it again from the beginning. I was very excited when I discovered "FEVER" in reprint. I have purchased several copies and have given them as presents, because I refuse to loan my original copy to even my best friends.
Rating:  Summary: I WISH IS WASN'T SO SHORT! Review: I really love Elizabeth Lowell a.k.a. Ann Maxwell a.k.a A.E. Maxwell. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed in this book. I have nothing against short books. If it is well written, the length of the book is no handicap. I cannot say that about this book. It lacked what was needed in order for me to get a better feel of the characters and their love. I felt as if the book was on fast forward,something that I intensely dislike in a story. It was disappointing because FEVER had the potential of being a great story. Don't get me wrong, it is still a good read. I just feel that it didn't reach it's peak. Read it and see what you think.
Rating:  Summary: Loved It! Review: I would love to see McCall's Meadow. Lisa is an interesting and different sort of heroine. Talk about self-sufficent! She can make a knife using an antler and a bit of glass. A very sharp knife! I liked Rye also and understand his need to be loved for himself rather than his riches. Although he's a bit hard on Lisa when he first meets her, he is drawn to her like the proverbial moth to the flame. Their love is very sweet. There is a sequel to this book. It's about Cynthia McCall, Rye's sister. It's called "Dark Fire". I don't think it's as good as this book but did enjoy it. Especially the descriptions of the cloud forests. Get them and read them.

Rating:  Summary: Death by metaphor Review: Maybe Lowell's worst effort. She is totally swallowed up by the heavy-handed symbolism that often threatens her early work, but rarely gets this bad. Strange, unbelievable story and one-dimensational stock characters. Read alomst anything else by Lowell.
