Desire in the Sun

Summary: Good, but...
Review: 5 stars? I think not -- Oh, I liked it, but I don't feel I want to read it again & again, the way I do with my keepers. I thought there could have been more depth to the characters & their situation. Joss having African-American blood WAS a BIG DEAL in those days after all -- I thought that fact was completely rushed into, & then his grandfather dying was all too quick, tho' I understand it moved the plot right along! In fact, the whole book felt rushed; the author rushed into the revealation about Joss; rushed him into slavehood; rushed the shipwreck; rushed them into making love...I wanted more tension & suspense. It was all good, but not great. It's a good read but not a keeper.

Summary: A historical page turner
Review: I have read all of Karen Robards' books and of her historical romances Desire in the Sun is the cream of the crop. The characters are believeable and react to problems appropretly. Leila is young and she acts like a young woman without the benifit of worldly experience. Joss is one of Robards best male characters he has a reason to hate Leila but he still has the capacity to love her.

Summary: This book is hot!
Review: out of all the books I have read by Karen Robards, this must be one of the best. The plot was an intricate one, weaved around a handsome rake with a chip on his shoulder, a beautiful lady who has a temper, isolated beaches and a tempestuous love on the sunny island of Barbados...What more could you want, really?

Review: This was so great!! I read it over and over again! Ms. Robards is a terrific author. I am in the middle of To Trust a Stranger right now and it is wonderful!! I started reading her books because she is from Louisville Ky. which is onlu a few min. away from where I live and I think that her books are well written and contain great plots and story lines. I suggest that evryone needs to read her books if you are looking for adventure and romance!!
