The Gold Coin

Rating:
Summary: Wretchedly poor
Review: "Passion and intrigue to new heights"? Maybe, but the writing and research are the pits.Clearly Ms. Kane should stick to writing contemporary stories, for she has no gift or feeling for the past.This was my first book by her, and my last.

Rating:
Summary: A good read but not the best
Review: A good read, but I liked some of her other works better. Actually my only complaint with this book was that you really didn't get to know Damen that well or how he felt about things and what made him tick. I will say I'm anxiously awaiting the sequel though. I'll read anything Andrea writes - she's had so many other great ones!

Rating:
Summary: Refreshing!
Review: For once the hero and heroine do not fight their love for one another. I didn't have the urge to strangle the characters for denying their emotions, like I do in most romance novels. Overall, a wonderful book. I can't wait for Breanna's story.

Summary: Excellent read -- I couldn't put it down
Review: Great characters, good suspense, great love scenes

Summary: Save your money.
Review: I am kicking myself for buying "The Gold Coin" and "The Silver Coin" at the same time. After forcing myself to get through the first awfully boring book I have no desire to read the second.

Summary: Excellent
Review: I couldn't put it down. One of my favorites

Rating:
Summary: one of the most fasinating book I have read in a long time.
Review: I couldn't put the book down. i finished reading it in a matter of hours. I fell in love with all the characters. I love the story lining and plot. I haven't read such a fasinating book in a long while.

Summary: Great read!
Review: I feel as though I need to respond to all of the reviewers who have trashed "The Gold Coin." Yes, it may not be as historically accurate as other Regency romances and yes, the mystery dominated the second half of the book, but I found it a truly entertaining weekend read and a nice break from the typical story! Damen was the perfect male lead. He was intelligent, honest, witty, romantic - and he treated Stacie as a human rather than a pretty face. I wa relieved that he didn't have mistresses on the side and that he worked for a living rather than just living off his title. Their love was refreshing, real and entertaining. This novel isn't going to strain your mind, but it's a very enjoyable novel to lose yourself in for a few hours.

Summary: Borrow it from the library, but don't buy it!
Review: I fell in love with this book and turned around and read the sequel in record time. I imagined myself as the characters and could see and feel what they did. That's all I ask for in a book--to make me forget my own reality for a short time and let me live in theirs.
