5.0 out of 5 stars She made me believe in soulmates..., October 9, 2003

This review is from: Heather and Velvet (Mass Market Paperback)

This is my second Teresa Medeiros novel and I wasn't disappointed!! I just finished reading it and I'm still sitting here with a silly grin on my face. This was a definete page turner! I just had to know what was going to happen next. The action never once stopped and never once was I bored or tempted to skim pages.

I absolutely loved the way Prudence slowly evolved from the prim and proper "spinster" who had been neglected and walked over all her life to the strong, beautiful woman she had been meant to be. She blossomed so beautifully throughout the book.

But what struck me the most was how Sebastian saw the beauty she hid underneath the tight chignon and the heavy spectacles. He knew almost immediately that she was the one meant for him and she and only she could invoke the magical and deeply stirring effect on him that love and only true love can create.

I came to believe that they were soul mates and I loved that no matter what happened to them, they were always inexplicably drawn back to each other. They fought to overcome the odds and it was breathtaking to watch... because I felt as though I there beside Jamie watching it all unfold.

I loved the secondary characters. They filled me full of tenderness or made me laugh out loud. And in the end I truly cared about them almost as much as Prudence and Sebastian. Of course there were a couple of characters that I despised... but it was fun to hate them. The story was filled with laugh-out loud humour and I found myself giggling quietly as best I could so not to wake my husband as I read. I was touched and moved by this book...

I cannot wait to read another one!! I am so glad I found this author! She is amazing.

4.0 out of 5 stars A book that reads itself, August 18, 2003

This review is from: Heather and Velvet (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is filled with so many twist and turns I just love it. One right after the other. I love how Ms. Mederios dares to do some of the things she does in this book. The only problem I have with this book is it's a little choppy here and there, but besides that its all good. The middle was a little boring as well....overall I recommend it, this book hold new concepts and is just refreshing. One thing I thought that was particularly sweet is how both of these characteres are truly obessed with each in their own thoughts....alright stop reading this and go buy this :)

5.0 out of 5 stars First Romance Novel Ever Read, April 24, 2003

By 

Davina Richmond (Cool Ridge, WV USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Heather and Velvet (Mass Market Paperback)

Heather and Velvet was the first romance novel I ever read and it opened up a whole new world of reading to me. I have read every book Teresa Mederios has written. She is the best writer I've ever read and believe me, I've read a lot since Heather and Velvet. This book was dramatic, funny, had a lot of history entwined in it's plot. I highly recommend this book to everyone. I enjoyed this book so much that I was able to finish reading it in 6 hours. I couldn't put it down. I had to know what was going to happen next.
