Review: This a different review---I purchased the hardback copy and the print was so faint that I returned the book! I showed it to the salesperson and she and I searched through the books but we both agreed the printing was hard to read.

Summary: I couldn't put it down...
Review: "Ransom" was my first Julie Garwood novel and I am now a devoted fan. Garwood's a true story teller! The characters in this wonderful story are so deep and real that the reader can truly relate. Gillian and Bridgid are strong, yet extremely feminine and lovable. Gillian is such an amazing woman; I love the way she is so brave one minute and so vulnerable the next. The men are real men and as rough as they may seem, they epitomize the feudal code. Always ready to fight the honorable fight, never backing down in the face of trouble. I also love the way Garwood keeps you guessing through the whole book. She has a method of writing that won't allow you to drop the book. From the first page, you are already in the middle of an adventure and in love with the characters. I look forward to reading more from Julie Garwood.

Summary: Long Live the Highlanders
Review: This was the first Julie Garwood book I read and wasn't aware of her literary capabilities! She really draws you into the lives of her characters and makes you feel all their emotions, especially their rapture when love finds them. I have since purchased all the "kilt klassics" as I describe them and should tell everyone that it would have helped to know that I should have read The Secret first -- just for history. Julie Garwood's characters are intriguing and full of details that she carries throughout and that has made her books wonderful choices since I can re-read them and never tire of all the details. Julie: Keep up the writing and please make your next book a "kilt klassic"!

Summary: Read this book!
Review: This is by far the best book I have ever read by Julie Garwood! I finished it in two days, I could not put it down, and still wasn't ready to when it ended. You will become so attached to these characters. I hope and pray that Julie will write a sequel to this book, because I am still unable to let these characters go!

Summary: Why does everyone like this book?
Review: I have always liked Julie Garwood (until the Roses). But this book is pretty lame. It has echoes of her past style, but is vastly inferior. The first few chapters were so confusing that I checked to see if pages were missing from my book. I tried hard to like it, but how many times can you read: Brodick; Yes Judith; Gillian; Yes Brodick; Ian; Yes Ramsey; Did Ms Garwood need some filler? No one talks that way. I was quite disappointed, but read it anyway.

Summary: wonderful
Review: I love Julie Garwood books. I can't wait until her next one comes out. Ransom lke all of her book held my attention. Could not put it down. Took it everwhere with me. You become so involved with the main people. She makes them very real. You can picture just what they look like. It's like a movie running in you head. I could not wait to see what happened next. This book like all of hers left me wanting more. I highly recomend this book to any one who like to read a good gripping story.
