Summary: This book was soooo bad
Review: This book was so bad that I stopped reading it after the first 100 pages. The premise was intriguing, but the characters were not. I bought it based on the glowing reviews. It was boring.

Summary: The Funniest book I have ever read!
Review: This is by far the funniest book I have ever read! It's about a supermodel from 1996 transported by accident back to the Old South-1845. Her all-time favorite movie is Gone With the Wind and she dreams of one day finding her very own Rhette Butler, but what she finds when she goes back to 1845 is James Baptiste. A Southern gentleman with an attitude. Her only point of reference to the time warp is the movie and she soons finds that the movies aren't always fact, haha. The scrapes she gets into while James helps her is hysterical to the the least. This story had me crying with laughter and it also tugs at your heartstrings. It's so romantic and James is what fantasies are made of ;) The sequel to this tale is "Sweeter Savage Love" and check out "Desperado" also for a little tidbit of insight into James and Selene's lives later on... ...

Summary: Very funny , very passionate book
Review: This is the second book by Sandra, the first being THE LAST VIKING and it is absolutely wonderful. Sandra is fast becoming one of my most favorite authors (LYNN KURLAND being my favorite). I howled at her dumb blonde jokes and her arrow-back (aerobics)classes with the servants. Selene's character is just right. She is not the typical blonde Southern Belle, she is a very feisty, passionate woman, even if she doesn't think so. You'll be in stitches at some of the things she get's up to. She helps the women on the plantation with their problems - especially where it concerns their men. She tells them about a sexual position called The Perfect Fit. The morning after the women had learned about it was hillarious. The men were walking about with smiles like the cat who got the cream. Everyone knew what they had all been up to the night before. This book is so incredibly funny, you'll die laughing. James is a dream come true for any woman, (look at the cover and see what I mean). He is just as passionate as Selene. When they make love the pages just sizzle with the heat. Sandra has wrote a very funny and a very passionate book. The other characters in the story are wonderful, with the exception of Victor and James' wife Giselle. I'm looking forward to reading Ettienne's story in SWEETER, SAVAGE LOVE, but first i'm going to read DESPERADO because James and Selene are in that one as well. Well done Sandra.

Summary: A Really Great, Funny, Romantic, Cute Story! Loved it!!!
Review: This was one of the best books I've read in a long time. It had romance and it was funny. Selene really was a cute character and James was the perfect guy for her. I would recommend this book to others. I'm glad I purchased it. I almost didn't because I thought it was going to be a silly book but I was wrong. It was worth it.

Summary: Stop The Madness!!!
Review: When I first read the "pre-reviews" of this book before it was released, I was very excited. So excited that I pre-ordered the book. I read this book in one day and had to force myself to finish it. The concept behind the book was great - model goes back in time and is mistaken for a mulatto/quadroon at one of the famous Quadroon balls. Wow! This should make for an interesting read, right? Wrong! For one, the heroine bemoaned living in a society where she and other women were judged based on their outward appearance - and she spends half the book trying to get the other women around her to change their appearances in attempts to attract the men they desire. And a Black woman bemoaning her big behind? Give me a break! As a Black female and avid reader of historical romances, this book was just plain silly! I am not a stickler for historical accuracies and such and get tired of reviewers who spend so much time criticizing small inaccuracies that they miss the beauty of a well-written story but this book was just unbelieveable! For one...the characters sounded like they were from modern days, not historical times. Secondly, the 4-year old (E.T. *eyes rolling) - he wasn't funny. He needed his behind paddled and his mouth washed out with soap. I could go on and on but why bother? What could have been a perfectly good story is ruined by an excessive amount of silliness.
