absolutely irresistable!,

This review is from: Amanda Rose (Mass Market Paperback)
This is another one of my favorite romance novels... I just simply adore Karen Robards' style of writing. If you feel like reading a book that'll take you on a wonderful journey with two passionate and unique characters, then AMANDA ROSE is definitely for you. Here's a brief review, but it is difficult to put in words the experience one receives when reading this enchanting novel. Set in the 1840s, between England and New Orleans, Matt Grayson is our handsome hero, who is sought after by the English police for a crime he didn't commit. He manages to escape a hanging but not without getting a shot in the side by the guards. It is Amanda Rose Culver, an orphan living in a convent, who discovers Matt's limp and battered body washed up by the shores near her convent. Though she knows the danger she's getting herself into, through her kind and sweet heart she rescues Matt and heals him. As the two get to know each other better, Amanda realizes that she's falling in love with Matt and Matt realizes how much he's come to cherish her and yearns to protect her with his life. But when one morning Amanda realizes that the authorities have found Matt's hidden place (a cave under the convent) she immediately runs down to warn him, but unfortunately for her she didn't know she was leading the authorities straight to Matt. Matt believing that Amanda has betrayed him manages to barely escape again. It is when Amanda, thinking Matt is dead, is ready to move on in life, she is captured by Matt's brother and is held captive on Matt's ship to New Orleans. It is there on the ship she comes face-to-face with Matt again. Matt treats Amanda horribly, but through it all Amanda realizes that she still loves him. How Matt gets over his misunderstanding, and how the two fall deeper and deeper in love, is so well-written by Ms. Robards that all the dialogue and scenes that take place will have your heart thumping and tummy fluttering! When you find out why Amanda was really capture and brought to Matt's ship, it'll have you hoping that there were more characters like his! This is a romance story not to be missed!!! It's incredibly romantic.

Well-Written Sensuality!,
This review is from: Amanda Rose (Mass Market Paperback)
The pages were steaming with the chemistry between Matt and Amanda Rose. I enjoy all of Karen Robards novels (both regency and modern). Amanda Rose resuces Matt, and then he kidnaps her to America. The plot of the story is somewhat weak...conflict arises from Matt's distrust of Amanda, who he believes betrayed him to the British authorities. Otherwise, the novel is well written with wonderful scenes of passion! Definitely a keeper!

I'm straddling the fence on this one...,
By janlouise (Ruston, LA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Amanda Rose (Mass Market Paperback)
It's the 1840's at a convent in England where Amanda Rose was taken to live by her hateful half-brother years ago after her father's death. She just received notice that he has arranged a marriage for her. Thru this marriage he will be able to obtain her inheritance money. Being the free spirit that she is, she wonders the beach when she can escape without notice by the nuns. It is during one of these times that Amanda runs upon Matt Grayson's battered body. He reveals to her the trouble that he is in but there is something about him that makes her want to help him. For this reason Amanda takes Matt to a cave that she knows about for hiding.Matt Grayson is a ship & merchant owner from New Orleans and has been to England on business. During a business deal Matt was drugged, later to be woken up to police arresting him for the murder of an influencial family in England. Thru chance he escapes the hangman's rope (being shot during the escape) and ends up on a beach down below a convent while trying to wait for his ship to return for him. Matt trust Amanda not to turn him in when police show up at the convent to arrest him. Amanda runs to warn Matt, leading the police right to him. Matt thinking Amanda has turned him in runs out to the sea to escape. His body isn't found but is believed to have drowned. Amanda's brother finds out that she has been hiding Matt and threatens to turn her in if she doesn't cooperate by marrying his suitor. Mourning Matt's death and her future, Amanda wonders out on the beach one night to be kidnapped by some of Matt's men and brother. She is taken to his ship to sail to New Orleans. Amanda finds out that Matt is still alive. And thinking Amanda turned him in, Matt is out for revenge. He will use Amanda sexually until he tires of her than plans to "throw her to the side." Those are his plans until feelings get in the way and Amanda's brother shows up in New Orleans to take her back to England. Matt's brother is really my favorite. It was a good story but was pretty chopped up at times, which normally isn't like KB's writing. I really would like to rate this one a 3 1/2 stars. It is a sweet read, but there are so many better ones out there. I would recommend reading it but it is not a keeper for me. And it's not KR's best.
