5.0 out of 5 stars Still one of my favorites!, July 4, 2002

Julia "Julia" (Utrecht, Netherlands) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Passion's Ransom (Paperback)

I have read this book lots of times. It is still my favorite after all these years. I saw there is a new version coming out in August, so here is my review. The book is very romantic, funny, fast-paced. Blythe runs her father's mercantile and it is not easy. Until one day she is abducted by the partner of Raider Prescott - a pirate. Raider is a wonderful hero and Blythe a lovely heroine with lots of guts! The adventure begins and ofcourse there are sparks between the pirate and his "woolwitch". I really loved this story and would recommend it to anyone!

1.0 out of 5 stars I CRINGED!, August 24, 2003

This review is from: Passion's Ransom (Zebra Historical Romance) (Paperback)

I bought this book based on the other reviews and because I enjoyed the "The Wife Test". However, I was stunned that anyone thought this was a good read. By page 78 I was cringing so much I had to toss it aside. I then reverted to skimming it to see what all the fuss was about, and I still had to abandon it! The first meeting of the hero and heroine (where he kisses her the 1st time) is just so stupid and badly executed. On top of it all, the story is boring. Overly written and repeatively descriptive - the writer clearly lacked a good editor. Add to it a poorly developed hero, a muddled point of view, dialog without wit, weakly motivated character behavior, and tired plots and situations. I found reading this unbearable.
