5.0 out of 5 stars Border Lord, November 30, 2001

Brenda Thatcher "www.mystiquebooks.com" (Las Vegas, NV USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Border Lord (Mass Market Paperback)

THIS BOOK IS THE BEST!!! Duncan is hilarious, while Miriam is sweetly befuddled as well as earnestly trying to help, wonderfully, gloriously, swept off her feet by Duncan's "alter ego." Or is his day persona his "alter ego?" A laugh riot a minute, but a word of warning. The entire comprehensive complexity of the humor is capable of being truly, fully appreciated by completing two or three reads. And, yes, this book leaves the reader with a desire to read again and again. So be ready to crack it One More Time! My recommendation? GET THIS BOOK. And watch for the others in the set: Chieftain and The Maiden of Inverness.

Shadow (Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Border Lord (Mass Market Paperback)

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It did the things that I love books to do, it made me laugh, shed a tear and sigh whilst reading the wonderful, very nicely written love scenes. It's the first book I have read by Arnette Lamb but it certainly won't be my last!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book!, February 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Border Lord (Mass Market Paperback)

As if the cover isn't enough to make you fall head over heels for the hero, Arnette Lamb manages a perfect sizzle and pop love story, with humor and sensuality written all over it. Duncan is hillarious, posing as a foppish fool who is fond of peacocks in order to convince Miriam the Diplomat that he's innocent. But at night he's the Border Lord, the handsome and mysterious and most deliciously yummy "ghost." The only tweak in this book is the ending, which is a bit dissapointing and a little contrived. Still, the rest of the book is wonderful and makes up for it in all other aspects. Read this book, of not all of Ms. Lamb's others, because they're absoloutly priceless!
