More About the Author

"One of my all time favorite writers, Nicole Jordan delivers romance like no one else. Captivating, enticing, and irresistible, her books are always on my must buy list."--Sherrilyn Kenyon, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"Nicole Jordan charms and captivates."--Jillian Hunter, New York Times bestselling author

New York Times bestselling author Nicole Jordan spins delightful tales that simmer with passion and sensuality. In her former life, Nicole grew up as an Army brat, moving frequently and attending high school in Germany. She later earned a civil engineering degree from Georgia Tech and spent eight years as a manufacturing manager making disposable diapers and toilet tissue! Currently Nicole lives in the Rocky Mountains of Utah with her real-life hero (her husband) and beloved kids (her horses).

With over two-dozen historical romances to her credit and five million books in print, set in numerous eras and locales, Nicole now enjoys chronicling the sparks that fly when Regency lovers play the matrimonial mating game.

One of her novels had the dubious honor of being humorously spotlighted by Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show." On a more serious note, Nicole's romances regularly appear on numerous bestseller lists, including The New York Times, Publishers Weekly, and USA Today, and have earned such honors as RITA finalist, RWA's Favorite Book of the Year, theRomantic Times Career Achievement Award for Historical Romance, and the Dorothy Parker Award of Excellence, presented by a group of over one hundred romance reviewers.

This book was really good. It's one of Jordan's earliest pieces and this was reflected in the content of the book. However, this in no way takes away from how great the book was. The characters were likeable and fun to read about.
I especially liked the male hero, Raith. His character was developed so well and I was there with him every step he took. The emotional intensity and feelings between the main characters was electric. I reccommend this book. Buy it!

This review is from: TENDER FEUD (Kindle Edition)

At 10% of the way into this story I just can't keep going. The prose is so bad I can't stand it. For example:

"For a dangerous moment he had felt the urge to pull her into his arms, to cover possessively the trembling lips that were parted in fear , to discover the sweet secrets her tender body promised."

For me, this reads like a parody of romance fiction. Romance fiction satirizing itself. It's wooden and cartoonish and bleh. Maybe it gets better and more authentic and more engaging deeper into the plot. I'll never know.

I read another book by her "The Seduction" that was a really fun read. I wouldn't call any of it out as being self-satirizing. I also read "Lord of Desire" which had a lot of wooden prose in the early or setup part of the plot. Once all the characters were introduced and the action was underway it was a very adventurous read.

But this book seems relentlessly wooden and cartoonish and I give up on it but not on the author.

This review is from: Tender Feud (Harlequin Historical, 97) (Paperback)

I first read Tender Fued about a year ago and it is the type of book that you can read over and over again. I have read it so many times that it is really beginging to wear and tear. It's the type of book that makes you stay up all night reading because you cant wait to see what happens. I apprecate the fact that includes the importance of family and honer in it as well. It holds a great deal of romance in it without being too graphic, which I also apprecateted
