5.0 out of 5 stars Hot, and hard to put down!, April 28, 1997

HighlyRecommend

Ms. Wilhelm gives us a novel of splendor sweeping from the manicured rolling hills of England to the rugged beauty of Scotland. Her characters, drawn with the lush richness of the tapestries that hang in the great halls of medieval castles, easily win the heart. Mystery, betrayal, and passion ensnare the reader until we finally give-up any attempt to put the book down, and read to the conclusion. Kathee S. Card

5.0 out of 5 stars Different twist, great read, May 11, 2001

This review is from: Fool of Hearts (Paperback)

Couldn't put this book down wondering what clever Gillian would do next. Calum handled her perfectly and what a great hero. Loved the cover too, it helps to picture what the hero looks like while reading the story. As was John Desalvo on the cover on her "Storm Prince". I definitely recommend this book if you can find it. I found my used copy on line and it was definitely worth the extra cost.

This review is from: Fool of Hearts (Paperback)

This is a somewhat implausible guardian/ward romance set in the 1783 Yorkshire England. Our heroine Gillian Ellicott is made a ward (is that even possible at 20 yrs old?) of Calum Marquess of Iolar, when her father unexpectedly dies.

I found this romance novel difficult to get into. Gillian was an immature woman, whose 'hijinks' became annoying after a while. Calum Marquess of Iolar speaks like an extra from Braveheart... "Och, weel, we know what that means doona we lassie?"

I found myself skimming the second half of the book. I just couldn't get into it, and I found Calum's dialect distracting. Perhaps others might persevere where I have failed.
