Best in the Night series!!,
By
This review is from: Night Storm (Mass Market Paperback)
A long time ago I read this book - while I liked it - it did not leave the impression that the second reading did having just finished Night Fire & Shadow. Alec certainly did not stand out in the other books - and you really were not totally sure how much he was in love with his first wife Nesta. You certainly did realize that his grief and guilt when she died giving birth to their daughter Hallie - and he was committed to never marrying again. Of course don't these rakes all say that - until they meet THE one woman that upsets their well ordered life. And this is exactly what happens when he meets Genny. Their initial meeting is totally unique - her disguised (not very well in his opinion) as a young man Eugene. She/he is attempting to run her father's shipping yard and Alec arrives from London to buy from her family. There is one catch though her father will only sell if Alec agrees to marry her as well. So many many twists and turns to this relationship. They are a firey couple as Genny is so different than any woman Alec has ever met. She is so stubborn about not being dominated by a man - has no desire to wed - but oh did I say desire --well she has plenty of that and when she and Alec finally errupt in bed well that pretty much settles at least that aspect of their relationship. However there are so many other things to settle - and for awhile when Alec has amnesia Genny is not sure which Alec is real and which is not. Several reviewers did mention Alec as a jerk - I just did not see this. Yes, he wanted to dominate as most men back then did and yes it took him a long while to realize the intensity of his feelings for Genny but he did - and I never saw any example of total cruelty toward her - he was always faithful and no matter how much they faught they always seemed to kiss and make up - so to speak!! This was a wild ride of a book - could not put it down! Really a great Coulter read!

I liked it...don't know what these other nit-wits are crying about,
By Catherine Jean Rose "Aye for Detail" (England 1097) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Night Storm (Mass Market Paperback)
Yeah, yeah..so the hero is your typical alpha-male, so what? He had plenty of redeeming qualities. Coulter did a fine job pacing this story. I have read so many over-worded books lately, this was refreshing. The ending did drag a little but I can forgive her that. Overall, I would probably rate this a 4 STAR, but I think some of the other reviewers were much to harsh with their one and two star designations.

A sad book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Night Storm (Mass Market Paperback)
I liked the first half of this book, but towards the end things started to go terribly wrong. I began to feel terribly sorry for Genny, and even though I knew things were out of Alec's hands, his behavior to the end seemed inexcusable. Horribly mean. Didn't like it at all.
