Rating:  Summary: Different but very enjoyable Review: After reading so many bad reviews I had to make a comment. I'm a big Deveraux fan and though this novel was not her typical romance, I was taken right in. Loved the whole paranormal storyline and though I don't think I can claim it was believable, it was certainly entertaining, and isn't that why we read?
Rating:  Summary: Forever Review: I read the other reviews and all I could think was "different strokes for differenct folks". I really enjoyed Forever as well as Forever and Always. I thought Darci's character was more of a shy and insecure young woman who is just learning to trust herself, rather than a bimbo... And as for Adam, well, not surprising he's gruff. Perhaps the ending could have been smoother, and not leap around in time, but it left me with the need to read the sequal ASAP! And I did enjoy Forever and Always.
Rating:  Summary: Unreadable Review: If this novel is typical of the author's work, I have to wonder how she ever achieved her reputation. The story is terrible; the heroine not just oddball but genuinely repugnant and geeky. There is no logic to the hero's attraction to her; she puts their lives in danger, does stupid and unattractive things, she snoops, she's insufferably smug, she's written as pathetic trailer trash, and yet this handsome and supposedly intelligent man...well, it may be the fantasy of some women out there to be able to win the handsome prince, no matter how much of a toad she may act, but this was not entertaining.I didn't care about the plot, because I didn't care about the protagonists. I detested them. I couldn't finish this book, and wish I hadn't spent my money on it.
Rating:  Summary: Loved this book! Review: I see how many people gave this a bad review and I just don't understand why. I thought is was different from her other books, but definitely not in a bad way. I just finished Forever and Always and also loved it. I have also read all of her other books and have enjoyed all of them. The authors writing style is changing, but I still like her style. I can't wait for the other two books in this series to come out. I think that the people that do not like this book because it is different than her previous books are stuck in a rut. I would find it boring if I always read the same exact book, but with different names and locations every time (Diana Palmer, even though I still enjoy them). I think that this author has always done a good job of having the same tone, but very different characters and plots, it is why I have liked her books so much. I would definitely recommend this book and Forever and Always to anybody who wants to read something a little bit different from the mainstream.
Rating:  Summary: TERRIBLE WRITING OF A BORING STORY Review: This is the first book I've read by this author. Someone lost this book at Midway airport and now I understand why. I could not believe how a book this bad could be published. I was amazed at the number of grammatical errors. The storyline was illogical and could have easily been created by my ten year old neice who has a more vivid imagination. The characters were shallow and unlikeable. The ending was predicatable and boring.
Rating:  Summary: is this the same author? Review: I have read countless books by jude devreaux and I am usually quite pleased by them. The characters are always dynamic and the romances, while at times out of this world are always entertaining. I don't understand why these characters got together, they seem really ill-suited and the female protagonist was so wishy-washy and not very bright. She builds up the climax only to talk about it not as it is happening but after the fact!
Rating:  Summary: WHat happened??? Review: I tried many times, but still cannot finish the book. It's just very very bad storyline and not good settings. HOpe Jude Deveraux's next book would be better.
Rating:  Summary: Worst ever! Review: I have been a huge fan of Jude Deveraux's work for the past 5+ years. I have read every book she's written. This has got to be the worst. I absolutely hated the main character. The story line was horrible. It just seemed like another person wrote it. What happened to the romance, excitement, and passion of her previous works? Ever since High Tide her writing has changed somehow for the worse. I hope her next book is better
Rating:  Summary: Not worth your time!! Review: I really liked the author's novels, but this was a big disappointment!! The main character's actions, words and responses are like that of a child. Heck, even my 10 year old niece is more mature and intelligent. The story was just too hard to get into..
Rating:  Summary: Simply Unbelievable! Review: This book was plain awful! It reads like it was written by a 10 year old. Actually, my 10 year old could write better stuff than this! The characters were flat and the dialogue was stupid. I give the publisher an A for writing an intriguing blurb on the back cover that made me pick it up. The premise was very interesting and could have made a fantastic story. I will say this though: I do find myself having to at least finish it because I do want to know how it ends. But that's all it has going for it.
