Rating:  Summary: I actually cried... Review: I felt so for Draven (the hero) that I actually cried. A romance novel has never made me do that before. I also like how the heorine was so straight forward and going after her goal. They were very sexy together, and the book was all about romance. No mystery or other subplots. It was a delightful read. Recommended.
Rating:  Summary: Easy Read Review: Master of Desire is a fast read and a nice story. The characters are likable, and the heroine is reminiscent of Julie Garwood's historical women (sweet and outspoken in their innocence). It's the typical romance formula: the gruff, unyeilding warrior with no emotion allows the sweet, beautiful, virgin Lady to break down his defenses and give him the ability to love. This story is not earth-shattering or terribly memorable, but it's a perfect book to bring along for a day at the beach.
Rating:  Summary: Kinley does it again! Review: Master of Desire was the second book I have read by Kinley MacGregor and while I liked it - I did not think it was quite as good as Born In Sin which I rated 5 big stars!! Draven Lord Ravensood was another tortured rouge and determined to never allow love in his life. He felt he did not deserve love and when Emily is forced by the king to become his ward for a year everything he ever believed of himself is challenged by this lovely female. It is a romantic tale and I truly enjoyed it. Kinley does have a real ability to bring characters alive and make you really care about how their lives unfold!! I would recommend any book by this author.
Rating:  Summary: Possibly the best romance novel ever written. Review: You'll love the heroine of this book. I didn't. I found the story severely disappointing, particularly since I'd so thoroughly enjoyed everything I'd read by Ms. McGregor both under this name and under Sherrilyn Kenyon. In fact her book, 'Fantasy Lover' is my favorite romance novel ever. This one, however, landed in my trashcan around the time I reached page 90. The hero was sympathetic but dreary and repetitious; the heroine was spritely and sparkly but not very bright. And abominably intrusive. The supporting cast with the exception of the hero's brother is lackluster. The writing felt forced. I don't think even the author liked this one much.
Rating:  Summary: A diverting tale of wills Review: Lady Emily dreams of her great love, the man who will come claim, her husband. All she wants is a man who will love and cherish her. But as the daughter of an English Lord, fate deals her a different hand. Draven de Montague, Earl of Ravenswood comes for Emily, but not as she assumes, as the man of her dreams. A Famous night who intimidates everyone, he has come to kidnap her! At the orders of the King, he comes to steal Emily, hold her for a year in order to stop the two houses from continuing their bloody feud. Despite his plans, Emily is determined she knows the right of it and he will marry her and they will live happily ever after.A faint touch of purple prose mars the effort. It's well balanced with angst and humour in proper portions, but the characters just seemed a wee bit two-dimensional. Still a wonderful read, and showing she has a voice in historical romances that just keeps improving.
