3.0 out of 5 stars Not One of Coulter's Best, September 25, 2000

This review is from: Devil's Daughter (Paperback)

After reading Devil's Embrace which was really good and rates up there with the best of Coulter's work, I looked forward to reading Devil's Daughter. However, I was disapointed. I am a fan of Ms. Coulter, infact, she is my favorite author. This was the first book that I've read of hers (and I have read many) that didn't totally measure up to her abilities. It was almost half way through the book before it started to get interesting. It was nice to know what became of the characters from Devil's Embrace, though not exciting. There were so many characters in this story that none other than Arabella and Kamal (they deserve the 3 star rating) seemed to get any real development. Adam and Rayna had potential but were not given the depth in development, they could of had their own book. The book finally got interesting when the story got into Arabella and Kamal, but this was the last half of the book if even that. Also, the story was less realistic than usual. Romance novels are fantasies and do lack, to a certain extent, in what the real world of love is or would be. The ending was brief and unbelievable in that after two months of pain, (Arabella thinking the relationship is over), he walks back into her life and she doesn't even question what the problem was. Oh well, not even Coulter is perfect. As a side note: I wish all authors would give a clue as to how to correctly pronounce some of these names they use!

4.0 out of 5 stars the last halve of the book was great, May 12, 2001

This review is from: Devil's Daughter (Paperback)

The first halve of this book deals mainly with Adam, the son of the h/h in Devil's embrace. Although it wasn't bad, the book really picks up speed during the second halve of the book with the story of Arabella, the daughter of the h/h in Devil's embrace. Arabella and Kamal are two very stubborn characters and their relationship was not a smooth one (to say the least). It was some what less than realistic, but still interesting enough to keep me reading. However, those who are dead set against forceful heroes and encounters be warned, there are several bodice ripping scenes including a very brief encounter where the hero outright ... the heroine.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Devil's Daughter stays with you for years!, July 5, 2002

This review is from: Devil's Daughter (Paperback)

I read this as a teenager in the 1980's and looked for it forever it seems (my dumb brother forgot to pack it or something!) I finally found the name when I emailed Ms. Coulter and she told me what it was called! I was so ecstatic I bought both the old version and the new one! Ms Coulter is a great writer and the characters in this book really stand out! The leading lady and the sultan are like oil and water on fire at first! Then the sparks really fly! YOU MUST read this if you're a Coulter fan or like a good book that gives you enough fun and sensuality and laughter to keep you turning the pages til the end! I have several of her books and I love them all!
