1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time on this one, January 18, 2001

This review is from: Traitor's Kiss (Paperback)

I hate writing negative reviews - especially historical romances (personal favorite genre). But unfortunately, this story is just not worh your time or the paper it was printed on. Bottom line - it's BORING. Nothing really happens and the plot isn't at all unique. It's the same old: They start as rivals and wind up lovers formula. One line that definitely turned me off of this book was: "The slightly acrid scent of bird droppings mingled with the flowers' perfume." I like getting into a story and actually feeling as if I'm experiencing it through the characters' eyes -- but bird droppings? Did I really need that info?

I struggled to get through it, but I managed to finish it. But sadly, the only memorable thing about it was the bird droppings - and that is something I'd rather forget.

2.0 out of 5 stars 1st half of book was so BORING..., July 25, 2004

This review is from: Traitor's Kiss (Paperback)

The first half of this book was very boring & you wouldn't have even known you were reading a romance book. Right from the beginning you are wonering if Nara & "Dan" made love. It didn't appear that way but they commented that they did & I kept looking back thinking 'did I miss something'. I was really confused. The majority of this book takes place in Singapore looking for a half-bother. I didn't have a clue what the author was talking about when describing things in Singapore nor did I care so it was very boring but I will admit that the last half of the book FINALLY pulled me in. I couldn't put it down. I didn't care for the authors writing because she used so many words & phrases that either I didn't understand or they just didn't exist. Very confusing & there were many spelling errors especially near the end. The biggest thing that I can't get over is the fact that Nara feels bonded with a stranger that tried to have her killed. Makes no sense to me. Also I am left with some unanswered questions in this book like who sent the letter to Nara stating that she may have won the battle but wouldn't win the war & what did it mean? Also what is the thing that Nara's father would be able to recognize if Adam was his true son or not? I do not recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars first they were rivals..then they were lovers.., January 26, 2011

description from back:

FIRST THEY WERE RIVALS...

If only she had been born a boy instead of a girl! Nara Winfield would then be next in line to inherit Winfield Hall, instead of the distant cousin who was about to arrive & banish her from her ancestral home. Meanwhile, Nara escaped the turmoil by sailing in the bay, though the weather was ominous. When her boat capsized & the strong current swept her far from shore, Nara panicked...until strong arms surrounded her & carried her to a small island. soon the chilled beauty felt warm hands gliding over her body in a glorious trail of fire, kindling every inch of her to eager flame. Then her rescuer was kissing her, pressing his heated body against hers in a frenzy of desire. Nara thrilled to his embrace, hoping his caresses would last forever...whoever he might be!

THEN THEY WERE LOVERS...

He hadn't intended to kiss her-not Nara Winfield, of all women in the world, his one rival for the ownership of Winfield Hall. Masquerading as a common sailor, Rolfe Daniels had stalked the Devon coast, waiting to make his move, until he spied the golden-haired heiress's sailboat adrift in a sudden storm. Honorbound to rescue the foolish girl, he sought only to warm her shivering body...until he touched her satiny flesh & felt a jolt of passion. One kiss, & Rolfe was swept away on a rising tide of ecstasy as he stroked her flowing blond hair, & brought her to shuddering rapture in love's sweet embrace...over & over again!
