Premise more than a bit unlikely,
This review is from: The Honey is Bitter (Paperback)
Okay, I couldn't finish this book, but I felt I might as well say why. I like many of Violet Winspear's books and the writing in this one is good as usual. However, the beginning of the book put me off. The heroine is forced in a way to marry the "hero" (he turns out to be pretty nice in the end--okay, okay, I read endings first!) out of some outlandish family loyalty. The hero insists on his marital rights and suddenly the heroine falls for him. Not likely! This book asked way too much of the reader from the beginning. Perhaps it gets better, but I couldn't connect to the heroine who was rather childish at least at first. Maybe if you can stick out the first few chapters...

An Intense and Dramatic Romance,
This review is from: The Honey is Bitter (Paperback)
The very best thing for an author is not only having someone read your books, but having someone re-read them over 30 years later has to be the ultimate compliment. In the 70s I read The Honey is Bitter by Violet Winspear, and the title of the book and the heroine's name, Domini, have stayed with me ever since. I remember it as a fabulous Mills and Boon, and curious to read it again I recently bought some Violet Winspear books.
The story was originally published in hardcover in 1967 and up until 1980 it had been reprinted 29 times throughout the world. The writing style was very much of the 70s, with a lot of narrative, description and melodrama the whole way through, never letting up on that intense emotion, culminating in a dramatic black moment before the happy ending. In other words, a vintage M&B. They say you should never go back, but I'm so very glad I did. I thoroughly enjoyed the love story of Domini and Paul a second time round. High-Society Seduction (Silhouette Desire)
