Rating:  Summary: good, but kinda sick Review: Don't think this book is bad it is actually really good . the plot is interesting and the book is really descriptive in what happens but its's still kind of sick them being cousins and all.
Rating:  Summary: Enjoyable Review: I am a huge fan of Catherine Coulter, as well as most Scottish romances. Put those two together and you have a great book. This book is witty and keeps you interested.
Rating:  Summary: One to read time and time again! Review: I didn't read the orginal the Generous Earl, but the Duke is one of my favorite all-time books. I just recently re-read it again (about 5th time). It was the first Coulter book I read, now I have almost all. I would love to see a sequel.
Rating:  Summary: Da Bomb Review: It was one of the best books I ever read. Catherine Coulter is a very talented writer. I can't wait for her next book. I think that Brandy was very luck to have met Ian. The thing about them being married as cousins was common back then. Also they weren't close cousins. They were distant cousins. So I don't think it was a "sick" book. It was very romantic novel. The setting of Scotland and timing of the book made it even better.

Rating:  Summary: THE BEST I'VE EVER READ Review: It's been a hobby of mine to read books. I love reading books and I hope that she'll continue to write more. Lord Harry is entertaining and The Lord of Hawkell Island is really moving. Catherine Coultier is one of my two favorite writers. Thank you for giving us the chance to read and learn from your book and hope you'll continue to use your strategies. I like the way you plot the story and how you go about them. They have a lot of details that allow us to form some of our views and make us feel that we are in the book and that we are one of the characters. Sincerely, Maylynne
Rating:  Summary: Cousins? Review: It's not like me to trash on a book, I try to be open minded. But the family ties between Brandy and Ian kind of wierded me out. I know they did that then but... Well anyway that was really the only thing that disturbed me. If I forgot about it, it was a very good book! And what she thought was wrong with her, Huge breasts and a tiny waist, poor girl. Such an obstacale to overcome.: ) It did make me laugh though.
Rating:  Summary: Not to my liking... Review: sorry to say this, but this is probably one of the weakest stories ever written by ms. coulter. the plot is quite unremarkable (and i really didnt feel much for that thing about them being cousins), and the romance is sadly lacking.
i felt too that the secondary characters were given too much roles or dialogues, thereby resulting in a story that is more of a family drama than a romance tale. i feel bad about reading this one coz i was hoping to find a better novel by ms. coulter after reading a disappointing The Countess.
Rating:  Summary: Not Coulter's best! Review: The characters in this story were good but the relationship between Ian and Brandy was flat. The fire between these two was left wanting. I found myself skipping paragraphs because the dialogue or description just wasn't interesting enough. I just didn't find some of things written in this book as important to get the story moving. The villan, while not obvious, was not complex enough. his motive, being greed, just wasn't right for this already too dull book. In fairness, the book did have good moments and I liked the characters. Another thing, the cousin aspect of the story was somewhat making me ill. Not so much Ian and Brandy as they were distant enough it was just everyone else...too close in relationship for my taste...I guess why cross the road when you can cross the hall!
Rating:  Summary: Typical but good Review: The story was good. Really well written and all. I was really impressed, but why is it that in most of the Catherine Coulter books, the female heroines gets kidnapped and stuck in a rotten old cottage
