5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent suspsensful book set just before Revolutionary War,
By Autumn (Columbus, OH USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crystal Passion (Mass Market Paperback)
First in a series of 3 books set during the American Revolution about the McClellan family. Follows the oldest brother, Salem, to England to rescue girl from evil uncle. Ms. Goodman is excellent at interweaving history and romance with a good plot. I couldn't put this book down until I had finished it. It also introduces characters for the other 2 books in the series, Seaswept Abandon about Rae, and Tempting Torment about youngest brother Noah. This book is must read for recent Jo Goodman fans.

Good love story,
By A Customer
This review is from: Crystal Passion (Mass Market Paperback)
Crystal Passion is a re-release of a series that Jo Goodman released years ago. The author of The Thorne brothers trilogy and the Dennehey sisters series.The first in this series is about Ashley Lynne and Salem McCellan. When Salem visits England, he is surprised to find a beautiful girl in his bed. Assuming she is the "evening entertainment" he plans to seduce her. Immediately he finds that he has been set up and Ashley is not there at her own free will, but at her evil uncle's insistance. Planning to rescue her, Salem doesn't count on her actually rescuing him from prison and escorting him back to Virginia. During the voyage to Virginia the two fall in love, but Ashley belives that Salem is her brother. The two realize they are not related, get married and the Revolutionary war begins. Crystal Passion is a good book, but just doesn't have the "passion" that is found in many of Jo Goodman's other novels. If you're a fan of Jo Goodman, this is a good book to read. Jo Goodman is true to her writing style by combining a great love story with great history.

The McClellans are worth reading over and over......,
By stacey renee (rochester new york) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Crystal Passion (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the first book about the McClellan clan and is set in Virginia just prior to the revolution. I had read the series years ago and ran across it again recently and just had to re read it. The McClellans are 4 brothers and 2 sisters, all fiesty and quite different and yet they are quick to be there for each other. I liked this story about Salem who inadvertendly ends up in Newgate when he goes to England to buy a "filly" with a L shaped brand on her chest. Unbeknowst to him, the filly is abused Ashley Lynne, the evil Duke of Linfield's ward. Salem and Ashley rescue each other and fight their battles together as the book introduces the whole clan and geo washington and his sons of liberty. It really was enjoyable. The sequels to this were also enjoyable...the fiesty sister Rae is book 2 and Noah the brother who was supposed to be a sea captain but has a major problem with being seasick!! so is the family lawyer. The dialogue is refreshingly witty in all of Jo Goodman's books and she is always a joy to read........
