Rating:  Summary: It's an awesome book-- it will hold you spellbound! Review: I was so into reading this book that I couldn't put it down. That was a few years back already and I'm still waiting for the next book of this series. I promise myself not to buy any other B.J. Hoff book unless the second book of the St. Clare Trilogy is published.
Rating:  Summary: This romantic suspense series makes history fascinating. Review: It's not nice to fool loyal readers! But that's exactly what B.J. Hoff does in Winds of Graystone Manor. At first I thought the title was a little cheesy - too reminiscent of Greystoke Manor in the Tarzan adventures. However, it didn't take long to forget that and just hope that book number two in the St. Clare Trilogy would be on the bookstore shelf when I finished number one. As her fans know, Ms. Hoff has a deep commitment to historical accuracy and this is also evident in her mysteries and romantic suspense series. For example, she weaves in information about the early developments in photography as Civil War photographer Roman St. Clare shares "how it's done" with Amanda Fairchild so easily you don't realize you're learning.
How did she fool this loyal reader? Skillfully, and with malice of forethought, she let me become attached to Amanda, owner of Graystone Manor, a secluded resort hotel on Staten Island in 1867, Roman, Dr. Niles Rutherford, and Conor the Irish wolfhound. Then when I had the villain all figured out and his motives neatly understood and labeled she reminds me of a tidbit from an earlier chapter that completely blows my theories out of the water. Wrong villain, wrong hero. I had to renounce my household title of "always first to figure out the ending." In addition to the intrigue, she has a knack for drawing you into the plot so firmly you must read on. This is one read you will enjoy and will eagerly look forward to the next one.
Rating:  Summary: A Message to My Readers Review: Thanks to all of you who have inquired about forthcoming St.Clare books after Winds of Graystone Manor. I greatly appreciate your continued interest in this story, but I regret to tell you that nothing is presently planned. Although this project was originally conceived as a trilogy, because of a different direction in my fiction, the remaining two titles were never developed.Although nothing is currently in the works for the St.Clare stories, I "never say never" when it comes to my novels! At the very least, don't be surprised if Roman St.Clare and Andy don't show up again at some point in the future, even in a different series. In the meantime, I hope you'll continue to enjoy my newer releases. Thanks again. B. J. Hoff
Rating:  Summary: it kept your attention to the very end Review: The WINDS OF GRAYSTONE MANOR held me spell bound through out the entire book. I found myself hoping that Andy would find out about Neil before it was too late. I would like to see more from this seris
Rating:  Summary: Excellent as usual! Review: This book, as with all B.J. Hoff's novels is so well written it boggles the mind. Since this book is almost five years old, and written by an author who could whip one out once a month if need be, I sure would like to see the next two in print. PLEASE!
Rating:  Summary: winds of graystone manor Review: This is perhaps my very favorite novels...definately in the top ten! It held me captivated the whole way through...from page one on. The mystery and romance was great, with an intriguing plot, characters, and surroundings, as well as a good message. I've been waiting for book two and three, but I haven't seen any sign of them, which is very disappointing. This book leaves me wanting to know what happens next...Maybe I'll have to let my imagination fill it in. Great job, B. J. Hoff in this book!...Please don't leave us fans hanging forever!
