Summary: Completely Wonderful
Review: Another classic by Robards. The characters are great. Julian is strong and romantic! Anna is strong and yet sweet. The setting is lush and mysterious with many great plot twists. Julian can break into my house anytime!

Summary: Green Eyes
Review: At first, because this novel was set in the past I wasn't sure I would like it-BUT--the main male character was so much like most of the men I know today! He kept his feelings to himself and was always trying to protect "chicken" from any real or imagined harm! Even after a night and day of sex(and virginity loss),neither one knew where the other one stood! So many days of love were lost due to the fact that they both were afraid of getting hurt! Even though we are now in the year 2000, this still happens all the time with couples.While being an exciting and provocative read it also teaches a valuable lesson in love.

Summary: Julian was great!
Review: I enjoyed the story mostly because of Julian. He was a likeable hero and extremely sexy. Ana seemed sweet but took a little to long to realize her love for Julian. And why did she always call her daughter "chicken?" The ending was a bit much for me too.

Summary: Great !
Review: I loved this book.... i bemoan the fact that Karen Robards seem to have move away from sprawling historials to modern romance/suspense...although i enjoy those books as well. The setting was different with Srinagar and a tea plantation . The romance was fanatastic and they do feel for julian who feels he has to compete with Ana's deceased husband Paul, whioo happens to be his half brother! the4 ending was spooky and different but overall the book was a night of reading pleasure !

Summary: EMERALD EYES AND JEWELS
Review: Reading the "free" exerpt of GREEN EYES made me buy it. Ann Travern, recently widowed, is at the mercy of her deceased husband's older brother, Graham. And Graham has made it expressly clear that Ann will either become his mistress or both she and her small daughter, Chelsea, will be put out in the streets.As a vicar's daughter, Ann prays fervrently for a solution. Almost as a direct answer to her prayer, Julian enters both her home and her life, seeking to prove his lineage and title. Julian steals precious jewels and is arrested, while it is Ann who, by a series of coincidences, actually makes away with the jewels, gaining an answer to her prayer and obtaining a financial means to leave Graham's household. Now Ann takes her GREEN EYES back to Ceylon to start tea farming, as she and her husband had planned. The problem that arises is that both Julian and Graham want her and the jewels back ... and they'll travel halfway around the world to get them. This book has a wonderfully exciting conclusion, where native superstition and practices cause an unforeseeable, dangerous distraction. This story is believable, extremely romantic and adventurous.

Summary: Skip the romance
Review: The book has some odd chapter structures. For instance, there's a romance scene that gets broken across four chapters! The first chapter is devoted just to the kissing. The second chapter has the foreplay. The third chapter is the actual act. The fourth chapter is the post-coital brag session. The book is actually better when the romance scenes are skipped as they are the most poorly written parts of this book. They are bad enough to be laughable.
