Rating:  Summary: Splendid Review: This book is just wonderful, a must-read. Letty is madly in love with Richard and has been since she knocked him into a river on accident when she was eleven. Now, eight years later they get stuck together on a smuggler's ship and have an adventure getting back home. Letty was so cute with her tendancy towards mishaps. Even though on occasion she seems very naive and disgustingly optomistic, she expresses a deep understanding of love and loss. All of these characteristics combined make her see the best of jaded Richard and lead him to change into the hero she beleives him to be. It was a pleasure reading about these two characters. Sometimes (often in fact) I laughed out loud, and sometimes I wanted to cry. Ms. Barnett weaves her tale in such a way that I feel that I am in the story. This book is definetley a must-read, although I recommend reading the prequal first (Bewitching) which I neglected to do. Happy reading!
Rating:  Summary: The worst book ever! Review: This has got to be one of the worst books I've read so far. The plot is half decent and could have been great if it weren't for the Letty and her dog. The characters are developed, but their personalities are extremes. Letty is annoying as hell because she just doesn't get the hint. It's cute that she's been in love with Richard since she was young, but it gets to a point where it's just overboard. It's hard to imagine someone SO accident prone that they're a walking hazard. Her dog is unnecessary and just makes Letty's character even more annoying. You just don't know who to hate more the stupid dog or Letty. Richard is basically a drunk suffering from depression. I didn't see anything in Letty's personality that could have caused Richard to fall in love with her. She was so annoying and caused so much pain and suffering for the guy I'm surprised he didn't end up hating her. I hated her just reading about the accidents she caused and the kinds of situation she creates for poor Richard. Bewitching was a cute romance novel with the witchcraft and love story. This one was just annoying because everything was so extreme. The witchcraft in this one was random. There was no explanation on why it happened. It seem like someone just decide I'm bored, so I'll go play cupid.
Rating:  Summary: Sweet and utterly charming Review: This is actually on my keeper shelf. I've read it countless times and if you're in the mood for a light, kind of fluffy, careless read that is funny and sweet, this is it. It's a sequel to Ms. Barnett's Bewitching, which was also a lovely story. I think you should read that first to maybe get a full impact but the book can stand alone if need be. In this book, Letty, the heroine is a dreamer. Extremely silly and innocent, she contrasts with our hero, Richard who is cynical and jaded. Letty's somewhat accident prone which is often agonizing for Richard since he's often the brunt of her humorous accidents. She loves him and is convinced that he's a hero (really) despite him insisting that he isn't. It's a very amusing and touching story on the way to find out who's actually right. Almost all the secondary characters from Bewitching are included. Joy, Alec, Joy's Aunt, Seymour and several new characters as well. It's very well written and put together. It is also very imaginative and I can't describe enough just how funny it is.
Rating:  Summary: I never do reviews, but I'm breaking tradition! Review: This is my favorite book, possibly of all time. My copy is falling apart. The characters, established in its predecessor Bewitching, begin as shallow characters. However, through the course of the novel, they begin to reasons for their behavior and they leap off the page and into my heart every time. Richard becomes the hero that he hints at in Bewitching. Letitia reminds me of all the antics I have done in the name of childhood love. The two characters just evolve throughout their journey together. Notable secondary characters include Neil, Giana, Letitia's father (whose name escapes me right now), and of course Alec and Joy and the MacLean, and a cast of smugglers. I recommend this book to anyone who can stay long enough to hear me rave about this book.
Rating:  Summary: Lighthearted romance and fun! Review: This was a delightful tale, from the extremely talented wordsmith, Jill Barnett. I did read Bewitching first so I was delighted to revisit some very dear and wonderful `friends'. Letitia Hornsby was first mentioned in Bewitching but not really introduced, but here we have her story. Letty has been in love with Richard since the first day she met him when she was only eleven and knocked him into a river. The fact that catastrophes follow her like a shadow adds to the outrageous comedy of errors that is her life. Richard knows that she is in love with him but he is a rake of the worst sort, and Letty just loves him in spite of himself. Fate has managed to get them both caught by smugglers and pirates, and lord help the smugglers! Letty aboard a ship in the middle of the Channel? This is a delightful tale and marvelous to see Richard being saved from himself by her totally selfless love. Another wonderful read from Jill Barnett. Super funny!

Rating:  Summary: Excellent, funny historical romance.. Review: This was an excellent sequel to Bewitching. Jill Barnett carried on the characters from Bewitching and used humor to bring them to life.I would recommend this book to anyone who like's romance novels that are highly entertaining.
Rating:  Summary: Laughed Out Loud Review: This was one of my favorite Jill Barnett books. When Letty accidently shot Richard, I literally laughed out loud...in a restaurant...in public! I couldn't wait to get back to my room and finish their story. I know everyone says "I couldn't put it down". Well, at 3:30 am, with tears running down my face, I learned the true meaning of that phrase. This is a MUST READ! It's Romance at it's best!
Rating:  Summary: absolutely funny and wonderful! Review: when I first saw this book, i did not even think about reading it because a story about a girl running after a man is not something i usually like to read about, but something drew me to this book. Even right after the prolouge, I was laughing so hard, I had to tell my brother about it. This book is filled with outrageous humor and sections so happy or sad that I found myself crying. This book will make you laugh, cry, fill joyous, fill angry, and will make you want to scream out with frustration or triumph. I highly reccomend this book. I am even having my mom read it! I loved it and hope that you love it too.
