Summary: Not one of her best...
Review: Angela Sherrington is the daughter of a poor farmer in Alabama who has had a crush on Bradford Maitland since she was eleven, when he rode past her on his black stallion and splashed her with mud. He tossed her a coin, for the ruined dress and she keeps this coin hung around her neck as a reminder. Some 9 or 10 years later she spots Bradford about to walk into a building in Masachusettes and follows him, not knowing that she has just walked into a bordelo.

I really liked the first half of the book but knew I would be disappointed with the second half after Angela runs away. She's just too much of a flirt for my liking. Kissing strangers left right and centre. Not one of JLs best books. Try the Western series, much better!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Been there..done that
Review: Beware! This is a book that has been re-published. I read it back in the late 80's maybe early 90's. Still a good read, better than what she puts out now. I quit reading her a couple of years ago because her stories do not have a lot of passion and are boring boring boring. Maybe, I've just grown up and expect more from a romance.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: disappointed
Review: Expected a lot more after the gowing review. Very poorly written or editted compared to her other novels. Lots of character development for lesser characters but none of the main characters. There's less than 1 page about the week the hero and heroine spend together but 7 on the attempted rape by a secondary character. Weird. Never really understood why there so fascinated with each other. A very shallow romance.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Mediocre
Review: First, read Amazon synopsis for book summary...

This is a very light read for me, especially one that's of Johanna Lindsey's work. The plot is quite simple; The twists are mostly predictable; The conflicts are a bit too easy; The characters are a bit unpolished; but I considered the fact that this is one of Ms. Lindsey's earlier works that is why I wasn't totally turned off. I also don't think this book merits lower than 3 stars because i was able to finish this book in less than 5 hours. I guess, u can say that overall, it is an easy and a light read. Yes, there is no topsy-turvy or overwhelming heart effects here yet I can't say it's boring either... I've read lots of Ms. Lindsey's recent works and she is definitely much improved today as a writer/story teller. So, if you are a first time Lindsey reader then I suggest you start with her latter works.

Summary: Pretty good...
Review: I had read this story several years ago and I didn't remember it that much. But when I re-read it yesterday, I really liked it. Bradford is gorgeous. Angela is good too. Readers should keep in mind that this was one of JL's first books.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: lack luster
Review: I have read and re-read most of Johanna's work and I never trade in her books simply because I have to read it a couple hundred times before I can safely say I can lend it out. But Glorious Angel was a major disappointment. I was most annoyed at all the info on all these other characters who was basically irrelevant to the story line and yet the two main characters had about ten pages together as a couple yet the story was supposedly about their romance. I just didn't get that, and never will as I traded the book the day after I finished reading it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not so Glorious Angel
Review: I have read many of Johanna Lindey's books, and I particularly like the Malory series. But I found Glorious Angel to be a bit overdone. The heroine has five, yes five, men going crazy for her at the same time. And I use crazy in the literal term. The hero's jealousy is absolutely insane, and makes him come off as very shallow. And no woman in her right mind would put up with him! I end up feeling more sorry for Angela at the end, other than overjoyed. Honestly, I wish that she ended up with one of her other suiters!
Glorious Angel is readable, but I suggest that you pick up one of Ms. Lindsey's other books. Try Love Me Forever, that one is GREAT!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It was good!
Review: I loved Bradford as well, and who wouldn't. It was nice to read something with lots of action and adventure, but romance as well. It even had a few twists and turns I had not expected. I would highly recommend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book
Review: I loved this book. There was great chemistry between Angela andBradford. Bradford was what most every woman wants; a gorgeous, rich, charming man. After reading the reviews on this book I was expecting disapointment, but was surprised by the fact that this is one of Lindsay's best.
