Romance in the Eternal City,
This review is from: Roman Holiday (Paperback)
A sequel to Belle's action-adventure DARKNESS BEFORE THE DAWN, this new story finds Captain Catherine Phillips agreeing to spend a few days in Rome to watch over her recovering flight attendant, Rebecca Hanson. Feeling responsible for the young woman, Kate plans on an ordinary couple of days keeping Becky company but to their mutual surprise, the stay in the Eternal City soon becomes a magical holiday drawing two souls together and pulling down walls that have been in place for much too long. Featuring strong characterizations with two very likeable leads, Belle's latest also offers that air of excitement, magic and romance that was a part of the classic movie which shares its title. A delightful read - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

The pause that refreshes!,
By Cindy (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Roman Holiday (Paperback)
I've just finished up reading the terrific series of novels by Belle Reilly that begins with "Darkness Before The Dawn" and concludes with "Storm Front." "Roman Holiday" is the middle book, a "bridge" of a sort in the overall storytelling. This novel, while not as suspenseful as "Darkness" nor as tightly written as the riveting "Storm Front" (which happens to eerily foreshadow the events surrounding September 11, 2001) gives the two heroines a breather in the Eternal City. Back in college I spent a semester in Rome, and I have to say this book brought it all back: the sights, sounds, and yes - taste (I think I gained 10 lbs that fall!). The falling in love part didn't happen to me, though, and so I was happy to experience it through the storytelling of this author. A light, very romantic story, that makes me want to see the old movie with Audrey Hepburn that inspired its title. I highly recommend this series of novels!

Red-hot romance for the truly addicted!,
This review is from: Roman Holiday (Paperback)
The book is well written. The characters are vivid. They are both very likable and real. The story is set in Rome and the author makes good use of the sights to tell the story. The tension between the characters is tangible and unsettling. I lost sleep because I didn't want to put the book down. I read the 233 pages in 3 nights. Highly recommended.
