Summary: not my kind of story, not my kind of hero & heroine
Review: After reading the mixed reviews of this book here in Amazon, I decided to see for myself. I think this is a "love it or hate it" book and unfortunately, i hated it. The hero is too soft, heroine is too strong. Their relationship is based mostly on stephens lust and bronwyns pride. There is a lot of arguing, throwing insults and fighting physically, which I'll add is more of the heroines doing. Concessions/bargaining is mostly given by the hero. This goes on and on and on... and sounded old and irritating in the end. There's very little romance between them, let alone love. Makes one wonder how they came about that feeling in the end. I will read the rest of the velvet series but I am hoping that the plot and the characters are unlike this one.

Summary: The Best of the Velvet Series
Review: As a precurser, I don't read romance novels frequently, but my summer jobs practically dictates that I have an easy read to pick up when work slows. I have found that romance novels are often terrible, but I really enjoyed "Highland Velvet": It made work more bearable. I managed to finsh "Velvet Promise;" it was a decent read, nothing special. I read "Highland Velvet" out of curiosity, and I have to say I am VERY glad I did. The characters have chemistry, and the setting/historical background held my interest. Also, I think most heros in romance novels are quite silly, but I actually loved Stephen: Deveraux mananges to make him silly, sweet, cute, and sexy. I tried to read both "Velvet Song" and "Velvet Angel," but they were huge disappointments compared to "Highland Velvet" and I couldn't finish them. I don't suggest that anyone else read them either, but I see they've gotten favorable reviews so feel free to ignore my opinion. Happy Reading!

Summary: The Best of the Velvet Series
Review: At the age of 15 I starting reading Jude Deveraux's books. My first was The Conquest. I not only love her books, I love her men. After I read a few, I got upset when she wrote about other families then my beloved Montgomery men. I couldn't get enough off Gavin, Raine, Stephen, and Miles. After reading Sweet Liar, I changed my mind. "...I wouldn't mind having an affair with a Montgomery but I'd rather marry a Taggert" Samantha, Sweet Liar

Summary: DISAPPOINTED!
Review: Bronwyn is so annoying I wanted to scream! She doesn't seem strong to me - just whiney! and cold. Bronwyn just felt sorry for herself. Stephen should have hooked up with Morag. She had some warmth and spunk. Sorry to say I really didn't like this book...I am not even going to finish it.

Summary: This book is captivating !
Review: Bronwyn MacArran and Stephen Montgomery sizzle up the pages of this enthralling book, the 2nd in the wonderful Montgomery series. As you read this book, you will transported back to Medieval Scotland, with all the passion, all the poverty and all the love you can possible imagine. I do recommend reading the series IN ORDER, so do read The Velvet Promise first....then enjoy the two to follow. All four are intertwined in such a way that it almost feels like one large, wonderful novel.

Summary: Annoying all around
Review: Bronwyn was selfish and annoying, and at some points I really wanted to slap her. That being said, however, I hated Stephen too.
Everyone keeps writing about his pride and how he was too good for her, but hey, he wasn't prince charming either. In my opinion, any guy who can raise a hand against a woman is a creep. I don't care if he seems nice and sweet and caring, he's still a creep. The fact that he SPANKED her as if she were a child just shows that he has no respect for her and thinks of himself as better than her, just cause she's a woman. Later, when she angers him, he again threatens to spank her, in front of all her men!!! ooo yah, he was really considerate of her pride...
Anyway, the only book in the velvet series in which the man does not feel the need to put his wife "in her place" is Velvet Angel. It is terribly sweet and a great redemption for an absolutely AWFUL series of books. Don't get me wrong, some of the books are greatly written, it's just that spankings and rape and men hitting their wives to the floor tend to make me hate the hero, even if it is just a small part or the book.
