Summary: Wonderful
Review: This is one of my favorite Garwood books. I couldn't put it down!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My favorite romance novel - ever!
Review: Julie Garwood's Castles is my favorite romance novel. It's also the first Garwood romance I ever read (several years ago). What makes it shine so bright? Incredible humor, fabulous love scenes, and characters so very easy to love. All that, and a princess too!

Some readers find Garwood's heroines too stupid to live, but I never have. I do, however, find each's quirks to be lovable, and when I interviewed the author back in 1997 and she revealed their flaws are based on her own, I marveled at how she could turn personal weaknesses into delightful quirks of character.

The heroine is not only wonderful in this book, though - the hero is to-die-for. As I wrote in my Desert Isle Keeper Review at All About Romance, "While he doesn't want to marry her himself, he finds something wrong with every single bachelor he, his father, his brother, and Alesandra discuss. One has bow-legs, another gambles, and still another has a case of 'bad humours'."

This is truly a delightful and charming romance and I encourage one and all to read it. If you are like me, you'll end up with two copies - one to keep and one to lend out to friends.

Summary: Is it possible to read the ink off the pages?
Review: Typical Julie Garwood, Castles' heroine Alesandra exhibits the ultimate in feminity, intelligence, exceptional loyalty and protective instincts. No matter what Garwood novel you read, you can always find the character is depicted as what we all would like to be.

Isn't it nice to emerge ourselves in the situations where we root for the heroine and understand her reasoning and motives? The supporting characters play strong and important parts in the story and you secretly hope many of them will inspire a separate story of their own.

The brothers Caine and Colin, the shipping partner Nathan and the sisters-in-law all reach out for you to know them better ... The Guardian Angel, The Gift.

Have bought all the Julie Garwood titles available and secretly hope for a follow-up to Saving Grace.

If you want to come away with a feeling of contentment and satisfaction, a smile on your face, when you finish reading, Julie Garwood will always fit the bill.

I started reading historical romance novels with Saving Grace in 1990 and haven't stopped since. Please, Julie, keep the novels coming, especially those with a Scottish theme.

Summary: Not her best work
Review: I read this book first out of the quintet, and I wasn't all that encoraged by it. But I heard tons of good things about Lion's Lady Guardin Angel and The Gift, so I decided to give it a go. I love the other ones, and now looking back on it, I might enjoy Castles more. I thought Colin was just too stubborn in refusing to marry Alessandra, and she seemed very aloof and not all that spunky at first. of course, as the book progresses, her mettle starts to show, but i kind of thought of her as a flake at the begining, and that thought stayed (unfortunatly) with me through out the book. But I am not sorry I read it, and Julie Garwood is the best.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Castles
Review: I have been reading Julie Garwood for several years and she is my favorite author. I am hooked on historical romance especially set in England or Scotland. This as well as all of her books was so much fun, The characters of the story make you happy, sad and mad all throughout the story. I fall into a different world with her stories and wishing I could be everyone of her leading ladies. I recommend any of her books and can't wait until the next one comes out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of
Review: This was the book that I've been waiting for ever since I read Lion's Lady, Guardian's Angel and The Gift. Without a doubt, Julie Garwood has outdone herself once again. Alesandra and Colin are such adorable characters. The scenes spun from Garwood's words leaped out from the book and surrounded me as I quickly turned the pages. If you enjoy passion, fire, and tender moments, this book, along with all Julie Garwood books, is definitely a wonderful, unregretable investment!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Romance!
Review: I loved this book! I read the whole thing from page to page without one minute of boredom. Some books i find myself skipping paragraphs but not this one! The love that grew between Colin and Alesandra was well written and I loved how she molded her characters...this is my first book that i have read from Garwood - I plan on reading alot more! :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love ALL Julie Garwoods's Books!
Review: The very first book I read was "The Bride" and I was "hooked!" A friend gave me her complete set and I couldn't set them down, I was done in a matter of days reading ALL her books. I can't tell you when I enjoyed an author so completely as I have Ms. Garwood. I look forward to each date of her new book's release! Now I own "my" own set!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another entertaining book by Ms. Garwood!
Review: I have become a great fan of her books. They read easily and floats through the pages effortlessly. The Castle is another one that is well-written, although the story is not anything unusual. Colin's objection is marrying the Princess is really quite funny at times. It is a good romance with predictable plot. I have also read 'guardian angel', Colin's brother Caine's story - I like that a little better since it has more surprises than this one, but still enjoyed it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Castles
Review: This was the first romance novel I ever read and I LOVED IT! I totally fell in love with the characters and I went on to buy all of Garwood's books and have loved them all but this is definitely my favorite. I've read it a million times! You can't put it down.
