Rating:  Summary: Good to the last page Review: The first time I read Dark of the Moon, it was a book I found at my Aunt's house and it had no cover. I was bored so I started to read it. I never expected that it would turn out to be my favorite book of all times. It was beautifully written from beginning to end. When I first started reading it, I stayed up all night to finish it. I couldn't put it down. The characters are so well-rounded and the story is unforgettable. I've read mine so many times that the pages are starting to fall out, I am in the process of ordering a new copy. I encoourage all fans of TRUE romance to read this book. It won't dissappiont.
Rating:  Summary: The best book Iv'e ever read Review: They sure don't write em like this anymore, and that's a shame because it's a great book. It's kind of a mixture between The Ugly Duckling, Robin Hood, and The Princess Bride. It's hard to say what I love so much about this book, but I'll just say that by the synopsis I was sure I was getting another plotless sex book, boy was I wrong! If I had to say what makes this book stand out from all the other romances I read I would say that it is a great, engaging story that never bores. I also loved the characters, of course. They were fully developed and far from perfect. For example the heroine, Catlin, is beautiful but unlike most heroines you read about, she is very aware of her beauty and uses it to manipulate the men in her life, which leads to some very hilarious moments in the story. She is also spoiled and stubborn. But she is still one of the most lovable heroines Iv'e ever read. It takes a great author to accomplish that. And the hero manages to be honorable and good despite the fact that he's also a criminal. This book is more than a love story, it's an epic about family, loyalty, and the plight of the Irish.
Rating:  Summary: Fantastic and Fun! Review: This is the best romance book I have ever read. It has all the ingredients I like. It's set in historical Ireland, it has the dashing hero, the beautiful heroine and more importantly its funny! I literally laughed aloud in many aspects of this book. I wish Karen would write more like this and stop writing modern romance.
Rating:  Summary: The Most Selfless Love Story I've Ever Read!! Review: This is the third time I've read this book and each time, I've fallen deeper and deeper in love with Connor d'Arcy. Are there any Connor's out there, I wonder? Caitlin O'Malley is truly a treasure as are Connor's brother's. The trials that Caitlin endures for her love of Connor is by far the most selfless act, that I can't find the words that can project my thoughts accurately. This book has the ability to take me to another time and place which many books so often do not. Being Irish, I can appreciate the suppression of the people and Uprising that takes place. But Irish or not, I recommend it highly to anyone who wants to fall in love or experience what it means to really be loved.
