1.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as some previous books she wrote--in fact awful, April 15, 2008

I won't repeat the plot synopsis since many have already done so and I'll keep this short. Deborah MacGillivray has written some good books, but this is not one of them. I agree totally with the reviewer who mentioned this was like a poor copy of Elizabeth Lowell's Untamed. Don't waste your money.

NOT SOMETHING I'D GO OUT OF MY WAY TO GET.

SEEMED LIKE IT COULD HAVE BEEN MORE TIGHTLY WRITTEN, AND I FOUND MYSELF SKIMMING THE BOOK ABOUT MIDWAY THROUGH (I MADE THE JOKE TO MYSELF THAT NOT ONLY WAS IT "A RESTLESS KNIGHT" BUT "A RESTLESS READER.)

1.0 out of 5 stars Not one i'll be going back to, April 15, 2008

This review is from: A Restless Knight (The Dragons of Challon, Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

Personally i thought this book was awful and overused. I even tried to read another of the authors books, hoping that this was just a miss, but they all seem to be the same- not terribly creative, some seriously overused plots, awful dialogue, and nothing new or interesting. Personally in this book i hated Julien- hated his attitude, hated the way he treated everyone- if i wanted to read a 'true to life' book about how men treated women, i'd have went to the nonfiction section.

And, just as a side note, isnt it weird that all the people that give this book great reviews are in this authors book club, and thanked in her book for their support. And, also, how a lot of negative reviews seem to be disappearing? Either someone is a little to staunch a supporter, or the authors book club is being a little nefarious.
