Rating:  Summary: A REAL DISAPPOINTMENT Review: I love Patricia Veryan, so when I picked up Laterns I excepted to be delighted by the characters and story. However, instead of being delighted I found the story somewhat boring. Diccon, the hero, who has appeared in other books by Veryan had a personality that did not live up to the traditional Veryan style. The book did not live up to my expectations.
Rating:  Summary: Wonderfull characters , great way with words. Review: I think that this was a very entertainig book. I love all things written by Ms. Veryan. Her characters are colorfull and real to life. I especially liked the child. He truly makes life a place that can be shared with our favorite people, both past and present.
Rating:  Summary: Lovely story, great characters, not much fire and passion Review: Marietta is holding together a family that has been impoverished by her father's gambling debts. She finds herself attracted to a strange man who has befriended her youngest brother, despite rumors that he might be a kidnapping murderer. As dozens of cut-throat treasure seekers arrive near their home to find a stolen jeweled picture, Marietta finds herself on his side, fighting for his honor and his legacy. I liked this book amazingly well for a romance that did not have so much as a kiss in it. The story was compelling, the characters richly developed, and everyone had their good and bad points. I do wish, however, for one really romantic scene here. Perhaps Veryan can turn up the heat on her next offering.
