5.0 out of 5 stars Love and Jealousy, October 5, 2000

This review is from: The Bride Thief (Harlequin Historical, 373) (Paperback)

The Bride Thief is a story of love and jealousy. It shows the power of true love and the evils of jealousy. Isabelle can't believe Justin would want her as his wife instead of the rich and beautiful Evelyn, but he does. She is kidnapped and taken to Talwar with him where everything is fine until Evelyn shows up. Her extreme jealousy of Isabelle and wanting of Justin wreak havoc on Talwar.

This book has some slow parts in it but I loved it anyway. Especially when Evelyn shows up at Talwar claiming to be a changed woman. The love between Justin and Isabelle was written well. Their love story was a make-you-feel-good story. The character of Evelyn was written well also. The things she did were outrageous. I think the author did an excellent job of bringing to life on the pages the jealousy and evilness of Evelyn.

This is a must-read for anyone who loves historical fiction, a love story, or a villianess.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bride Thief will Steal Your Heart, June 20, 2002

This review is from: The Bride Thief (Harlequin Historical, 373) (Paperback)

This follows the story of another Baldwin brother from the Bride's Portion" and "The Heiress Bride" only this is Justin's story. He was always sombre and so very serious growing up it was a delight to see him become so assertive and steal away Isabelle Gaillard after he had fell under her spell when courting her cousin Evelyn.

Justin was not stupid and only courted Evelyn whom he had seen was manipulative because it was the only way he could keep seeing Isabelle. He stole her away and brought her to his small holding Talwar.

Isabelle, had fallen in love with Justin the moment she had laid her eyes on him. He was different than most of the men courting her beautiful cousin but she had never hoped that he would even notice her. Her life was something akin to a Cinderella - the poor relation kept only to serve her relations.

The story was superb, as I've found all of Ms. Pauls bride books to be. Each book stands on its own, and this one does splendidly. Both Isabelle and Justin had only to believe in their good fortune in believing in each other. This book had all the elements one comes to expect from Ms. Paul - couldn't put it down. Find it at all costs and enjoy the superb work of this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bride Thief, April 4, 2000

Like in the First two Baldwin books, the bride is kidnapped again. This one is Isobella Gillard, and the youngest Baldwin, Justin. Isobella finds this is not funny and that anyone would want her. But Justin does. The only problem is selfed-center cousin, and her mean father want to keep Isobella's skills for them self. It is a wonderful addition to the Bride Triology.
