Love Me, Marietta

Summary: A Beautiful Sequel
Review: I am a big fan of Wilde, and having read three of this author's books prior to "Love Me, Marietta" I feel that I have formulated a good, solid basis for my opinion. "Love's Tender Fury" was a masterpiece; Marietta absolutely came alive. Wilde carried her vibrant personality over very well into "Love Me, Marietta." The situations she finds herself in are horrific, extremely well drawn out, bringing the passion and terror alive in every chapter, every word. Marietta's determination is beautiful, but not unrealistic, as we see her flaws and weaknesses throughout the book in her personal conflict with her love for Jeremy and her need for Derek. There are some very heart-wrenching scenes, especially during Jeremy's illness late into the book. I would recommend it to anyone whole-heartedly. I did, however, find myself a little disappointed with the ending. It seemed a bit too hasty of a conclusion after such an elongated search for her love, and I felt that Marietta did not properly recognize her true self and true feelings in the conclusion. I've discovered there is a third book to this series and fully intend to read it, hoping it will wrap up the loose ends and hopefully bring back our beloved Adam and Cassie from "Love's Tender Fury." Overall, the book is very well written and everything one could hope for: suspense, romance, tragedy. Beautiful.

Summary: A Jolly Good Read
Review: This is the sequel to love's tender fury. And I must say it's the most entertaining book I've read in years. The story of Marietta Danver who is engaged to Derek Hawk, but is kidnapped and becomes the unwilling mistress of a pirate king.
