Rating:  Summary: Blah Blah Blah, Review: I couldn't even finish this novel and I love Julie Garwood books, but this one was the worst book, worst then come the spring and that's a tough act to follow.
Rating:  Summary: FUNNY AND DELIGHTFUL Review: What I loved best about this book was the humor. It was one of the funniest romances I've ever read. I can't remember the last time I laughed outloud so many times. But it's more than that. The author hasn't forgotten to add very serious romance to this otherwise humorous novel. The romance is hot and sincere. And while I normally am able to predict everything that happens in romance novels, I have to admit, she got me on this one. I did NOT predict the turnout. Give this one a read!
Rating:  Summary: I'm a big Garwood fan, but Review: I found this story - and the related "Lion's Lady" -disappointing. And I rate them 2 stars because other Garwood books - The Wedding, Saving Grace, Gentle Warrior - are so much better than this. Part of the problem - Garwood tends to write in a very modern voice, with characters saying things that you and I would say today. Somehow, this works just fine with Scottish clans in 1100 - but it just doesn't "click" with Regency characters. Another problem - the non-romance plot gets muddied and rushed here, with characters thrown in to "solve" the mystery. The pirate plot could have been so much more successful. Both Lion's Lady and this book are very rushed at the end, trying to wrap things up. My recommendation - skip this and read Saving Grace instead!
Rating:  Summary: Not a 5 star rating but still a good book... Review: This book is the second book of a series of four: The series begins with the Lion's Lady, followed by The Guardian Angel, then The Gift and lastly, Castles. The characters in all 4 books are friends/related to each other. It is more fitting if you know each character before reading the next book. If you read it in this order, I think it will bring more excitement as some questions are answered on the later book. Some secrets are also revealed beforehence. The reason why I didn't give this book a 5 star rating was because the love story of Cain and Sara wasn't as appealing as I thought it was in the beginning. They were both interesting at first (how they met, their personality and how the story moved along) but the action twist over shadowed their romantic relationship. Towards the middle & to the end, their relationship begun to sound too 'ordinary' for my taste. There was no more excitement... kindda like I knew what was gonna happend next. The romance wasn't as heart warming as i expected it to be. Despite my above comment, I find the action twist of this book rather exciting. The true identity of Pagan, which I may say was a total surprise to me. The suspense of an unexpected turn of situations and scenes, all made this book a page turner. All the secondary characters such as Sara's brother (Nathan-who will be the hero in THE GIFT), Cain's brother (Colin-who will be the hero in CASTLE), the family and the ship crews contributed a lot in making this book worth reading for. It may not be a 5 star rating for me but it is definitely still a good book to past your time. Also, a keeper in your collection.
Rating:  Summary: Wow! Review: When I first read this book, I could not put it down. I've read it three more times since then. I would give it ten stars if I could. The action is fast paced. It's hilarious. I loved Jade and Caine. This book has everything. Good characters. Interesting plot. Steamy love scenes. Never a boring moment. And it was refreshing to see a heroine who could rescue herself. This book is only surpassed by it's sequel--The Gift.
Rating:  Summary: Good Follow Up To Lion's Lady----- Keeps You Wanting More Review: I loved Jade, and the fact that she was hesitant to love Cain. I adored the fact that Cain always told Jade he loved her, and said it to her before she said it to him (it seems that in all of JG's books that the heorine always says 'I love you' first. It was fabulous to see it the other way around). Jade was a wonderful heoroine because she never let any man boss her around and did what only she wanted. You have to read the quintet, it is wonderful.
Rating:  Summary: Wonderful Review: This was a really good book I love Jade because she is reliant on herself and only herself. I think that Caine was a really good male character he didn't try to make her change she made the decicion herself. She did not try to be anything she wasn't without good reason. I liked this one but I really liked Castles it was the best out of the two books about Jade's and Caines siblings Colin and Nathan.
Rating:  Summary: PART ONE OF THREE Review: This is the first book in a sort of unfficial trilogy. Check out the other two :The Gift with Jade's Brother Nathan, and Castles, with Caine's brother Colin. All three are very enjoyable!
Rating:  Summary: Hilarious....twists and turns on every page! Great Book! Review: I thought this was a terific book. At each page there were new suprises. I loved the characters and their development throughout the novel. This was the first book i have ever read by this particular author, I'll be reading more in the future. I'm so glad that there are two other books in this series. This is one of the my favorite romance novels. A great catch, everyone should read it.
Rating:  Summary: Fantastic, A Real Tearjerker Review: Guardian Angel is absolutely Fantastic. I could not let go of the book, a real page turner. I fell in love with both Cain and Jade. They made me cry and laugh at the same time. I have re-read Guardian Angel about 3 times and it has to yet to bore me. If you have not read this book, then you do not know what you've been missing.
