5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely., December 11, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Highland Secrets (Paperback)

I have nothing to say about historical accuracies, since I am in no position to comment about it, but the book was lovely. In a simple narration, it brings out the story of the young lady in question, bringing traces of humour and irony into the story, such as the daring escapades of switching places with her mother and attempted rescue of her brother. The book was a story, a tale to be told, and not some mushy thing that completely centers around two people and their passion. The passion is there, nicely kept away and blended into the rescue, the characterization is there. Yet it was sensitive, and a gently unfolding tale that leaves much to be remembered. Loved the ending..

2.0 out of 5 stars Historically interesting, Romantically? Not so hot., April 8, 2000

This review is from: Highland Secrets (Paperback)

First of all, I must say that I found the book to be very interesting historically and from almost a mystery viewpoint, intriguing. But I didn't buy the relationship between the hero and heroine. If you're the type that likes sensual love scenes..this is NOT the book for you. They barely go beyond a kiss anywhere in the book. I was disappointed by the lack of "sparks", but the end was gripping and tension filled.

Please save your money. If you've found this particular book at a yard sale you've spent too much!!!! I am an avid reader and love every type of book, especially medieval romances. And I have to tell you from the description of this book I was very excited to get started on this one.My God I have never in my life ever thrown a book away until I read this one. I was so miserably bored just getting through the first and second chapters I thought... "Why? Why am I doing this to myself?" And as I looked to my left, my garbage can seemed to be calling the book from my hands. When I am reading a book, I enjoy being kept interested in the 2 main characters and a few others throughout the story to keep it going. But there were so many people in the first few pages you didnt know who was who and why they were there and what were their purposes.I have no doubt this author has many fans and even some who may have enjoyed this book but I am not one of them.I will be very wary to ever pick up another book by this author based on my thoughts of this one book.
