5.0 out of 5 stars A Priceless Anamoly!, May 28, 2006

By	Sonic Le "A. Le" (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews

Love Me, Marietta is truly an anamoly; a sequel that is every bit as wonderful, if not better, than its predecessor. I loved this book; I have always had a bit of a problem with the way Love's Tender Fury ended, but this book completely makes up for that. I fell in love with playful, sexy and darling Jeremy Bond. He's compassionate, determined, strong and gentle with Marietta. He reminds me a lot of Jeff from Love's Tender Fury. I know that there is a third book, but I'm not sure I want to read it if Marietta doesn't end up with Jeremy because he is her absolute soul mate!

This book was divided up into 3 parts; What happens when Marietta's with Derek and meets Jeremy, what happens when she's with Red Nick and what happens after she escapes from Red Nick with Jeremy and a few friends in tow.

I loved the characters and the side story romances between Marietta's and Jeremy's friends. There aren't any stupid betrayals, jealousy or back-stabbings, just good old friendships and camaraderie. Marietta just gets better and better. She was strong in the first book and she is still just as determined and clever as ever in this one. I love how gutsy she is and how sexy and persistent and sassy. She's all woman and even though people probably look at this book and snigger or make cracks about bodice-rippers, she's really a very tough gal; tougher than a lot of romances which claim their heroines are "independent" when the women are really door mats.

This book will make you cry, laugh, cheer and gasp. If you like books with constant action, loveable characters and a plot that keeps you so involved you barely have time to think, this is definitely the book for you. It has the same feel that The Scarlet Pimpernel and The Count of Monte Cristo have; lots of people who are intertwined in each others' lives and who always feel every emotion deeply. I can't recommend this book enough - it's definitely an all-time favorite of mine.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Jolly Good Read, May 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Love Me, Marietta (Paperback)

This is the sequel to love's tender fury. And I must say it's the most entertaining book I've read in years. The story of Marietta Danver who is engaged to Derek Hawk, but is kidnapped and becomes the unwilling mistress of a pirate king.
