Summary: Great
Review: I only have to say a few things for all those people who said they hated it and it didn't have enough romance. Don't read it if you are so offended by it. There is no reason you should put other peole off by the idea of reading it. I thought this book was great. It had what so many other historicals are missing an evil and naughty undertone. Not another one of those sickly sweet virgin books.

Summary: Are you kidding?
Review: I read all those great reviews, but when I actually read the book, I was sorely dasappointed. The plot is weak, as I find that the chracters fall in and out of love too unnaturally, the humour is even weaker as the "Belle from Hell" is simply childish, and the "hot" sex scenes were anything but! it reads ore like an instruction manual: "this is *whatever herb/paste*, apply to *whatever body part* or insert into orifice, then *this* is supposed to happen, this is what you feel, etc." basically, really unrealistic and static. not worth even the effort to borriw and read.

Summary: Most risque book I have read in a long while.
Review: I wish that I had read the other reviews before reading this book. It had a boring start and then all of a sudden went into bondage. It was hot, not too descriptive, but the threesome was too much.This is the first book by this author I have read. I do not think I will read anymore seeing the tone set in this one.

Summary: Romance it's not...
Review: I'm a huge romance novel fan, so this book seriously disturbed me. Obviously the editors at Amazon miscategorized this one. Romance is about love and an emotional bond between two people, not love toys and emotionless bondage scenes. And what was up with that threesome romp?! If you've ever listened to a call-in-your-relationship-problems talk radio show, you'll know that bringing a third person into the marital bed is always a bad idea. I felt like I needed to bathe after reading this book. If you're a closet porn fan who's too embarassed to buy reading material from a seedy adult store, this is the book for you. If you're looking for a sensitive, emotional rendering of love (and yes, love scenes), pick up anything by Maggie Shayne, Dara Joy, or Johanna Lindsey.

Summary: BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: If you need a book to put you to sleep at night this is the one! Even the sex scenes has me on the brink of sleep...
The storyline is more than bad, I thought it was rediculous. Read the other reviews and am still trying to figure out where the good parts to this book are? I am sticking to Lori Foster and Linda Howard!!

Summary: Hellion
Review: If you're not familiar with Bertrice Small's books and are likely to be offended by graphic [love] scenes, this is not the book for you. Don't say I didn't warn you. Personally, I generally enjoy Small's books because of the way she really tries to interweave her plot with actual history and because she creates such vivid and strong characters. Believe me, there are no shrinking violets in this book. Here, Hugh, the male lead, is ordered to marry Isabelle by the king. In the beginning of the book, Belle is more of a spoiled brat than a hellion. Hugh is an unusual but likable hero. He isn't handsome, but he is kind and loyal. Through a lot of plot twists, Hugh loses his memory and is more or less enslaved by a sorceress. Belle comes to rescue him but becomes equally enslaved to the sorceress' brother. Belle fairly willingly becomes his [love] slave while Hugh is busy with the sister. Things only get weirder from there. One of the things I liked best about the book was that once Hugh and Belle get away from the kinky duo, they don't automatically blissfully reunite. They actually have a lot of emotional baggage to work through - a nice realistic touch as opposed to the pat romance novel ending.

Summary: Wonderfully Erotic!
Review: Isabelle of Langston has no intentions of marrying Hugh Fauconier, even though the king decrees it. Known as "Belle from Hell," she is a strong-willed woman determined to have her way in all things. But Hugh wants Langston and Belle. He woos her with gentle intensity until she willingly gives her heart and her body to him. Their passion is as powerful as their love and Belle discovers that marriage to Hugh is everything she could ever want. Dark forces seek to separate the lovers when Hugh is enchanted by a sorceress who wants him for her own. Though Hugh and Belle's love is strong, the sex magic of Vivienne d'Bretagne is stronger. Hugh forgets his past-- forgets Belle-- and becomes Vivienne's lover. Belle's search for her missing husband leads her to the castle of the d'Bretagnes. Masquerading as a young man, Belle's identity is discovered by Vivienne's brother Guy. He wants Belle for his own plaything and weaves his web of magic to ensure that she will stay by his side. Unlike Hugh, Belle must endure Guy's passion with her memory intact. Her heart cries out for her beloved Hugh while Guy takes her to new heights of ecstasy. Caught up in the dark desires of their captors, Hugh and Belle must find a way to break free of the spell that enslaves them. For Belle, the torture of giving her body to another man is only a shadow of the pain she feels at seeing her husband with another woman. Determined to win her husband back, Belle plays her part to perfection. But when Hugh discovers what lengths his wife has gone to in order to save him, will he be able to forgive her? Intensely erotic scenes and language have become hallmarks of Bertrice Small's fiction and Hellion is no exception. The story is lush, passionate and often explicit in its descriptions of lovemaking. An unusual menage a trois scene may surprise some readers, but fans of Bertrice Small have come to expect excellence from her and they will not be disappointed in Hellion.Hellion is Bertrice Small at her very best! Her fans will be lining up to buy this one! Magnificent! Once again, Bertrice Small proves herself to be the reigning queen of romance! Erotica, romance, love and lust! Hellion is the perfect book to keep you warm on a cold winter's night! Some authors push the boundaries of romantic fiction to the limits-- Bertrice Small doesn't just push the limits, she reinvents them!Kristina Wright
