4.0 out of 5 stars Very entertaining story., November 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Wild Star (Star Series) (Paperback)

First, I enjoyed this story, but I didn't give it five stars for personal reasons. I did not like that the hero lacked so much self-control! What was his problem anyway? He talked to poor Byrony very crudely and I really couldn't see what she saw in him. In fact, he viewed her as an object that belonged to him! The nerve of the man! I am glad that Byrony developed a back bone and stood up for herself, otherwise I would have been completely irritated with her. I liked that the author took us back to Brent's "Beginnings" on the plantation, he definitely had some demons to work out before he could really let go of his past. In that respect, I enjoyed the psychological view to the way he thought. Although this story made me angry at times, (very angry) I was never bored with it. In fact I hardly realized how close to the end of the book I was, so I rate this story high. If you don't mind egotistical, immoral, lack of self-control men, then I recommend this book, thankfully the other characters more than make up for the hero and he does seem to finally get his act together.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very satisfying read, February 25, 2005

This is only the third or so Catherine Coulter romance that i have read, and it did not dissapoint me in the least. Brent seemed to have some serious issues though, not trusting women, acting like he was sleeping with his mistress when he wasn't, and kissing Lauren(his stepmother) near the end because he said that "she asked him to kiss her". Byrony(the heroine) was polite and reserved throughout most of the novel, but when she bought that whip!!!that was funny. Also near the end she gets in a small but satisfying catfight with Brent's stepmother over that kiss. I can't seem to find any of the other "star" books at my local bookstore or library, but when i do i'm going to devour them. One setback of the book was how exceedingly rude Brent was towards Byrony. He never expressed remorse over anything he did, but still, i found myself loving him and Byrony as characters the whole book. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a different kind of romance.

I really love catherine coulter's books but this is one of my favorite. I enjoyed reading it and was entertained with all the twists of her plots and the unpredictable moves of the character. the setting was an early victorian san francisco. if you are into that, this book is a must. i recommend it as a good traveling company, makes you fall in love...
