Summary: I fell in love with this book!
Review: I found this book in the trash and it looked somewhat intriguing so I decided to see what it was all about. I started reading it and could not put it down until I finished it. The character were cleverly written and Julie's incredible gift for writing shined throughout the entire novel. I fell in love with her from that moment on and did not rest until I owned every single Julie Garwood title that was available! Sure enough I also loved every single other book that shes written and I can never seem to wait until she writes another. I reread everyone of her books at least once a month and her books have enriched my life ten-fold. Julie you are surely a treasure that needs to be better appreciated! Thank you for everything that you have inadverantly done for me!

Summary: Julie Garwood's best book!
Review: I love all of Julie Garwood's books,but "Castles" is the best.It had a good beginning,middle,and end,unlike some of her other books.The best part about her books are the characters have morals. "Castles" is a wonderful book about finding love and a family to belong to.

Summary: One of Garwood's Best
Review: Although most of Julie Garwoods books are are relatively the same, I still enjoy reading them, but I wish they changed a bit. Even the dialogue is the same. But nonetheless I enjoyed Castles very much it is one of my favorites. I especially loved Colin.

Summary: okay, but not her best
Review: Castles was the third Julie Garwood book that I read and I felt slightly let down halfway through. Colin seemed like a jerk throughout most of the book and all of a sudden, he does a complete 360 and becomes a loving husband. I usually like the picture the characters in my head as I read, but with Colin and Alesandra, I just couldn't see them in my mind. And the parts with the murderer's thoughts were just lame! Overall, the book was good, but not what I expected after The Secret and The Prize.

Summary: Ransom:Very passionate and adventurist,couldn't put it down.
Review: I like the way she incorperated bits of history (through her characters), with the passion of sexuality and true love. This really spiced-up the story. Julie Garwood's writing is inspirational.

Summary: Delightful
Review: I must admit all romance novels resemble each other, but even though this is true I cannot seem to tear myself away from reading them. Garwood is a very good and I have enjoyed most of her books. I definitely recommend Castles, it is one of my favorite Garwood books, and my least favorites are Prince Charming and Come the Spring and they were still good. I have read an enormous amount of novels and would say Garwood is one of the best. If you would like to read the best, check out Judith McNaughts novels. She is the mecca of romance novelists. All of her novels are exceptional. My favorites: Paradise, Whitney my Love, and Once and Always.

Summary: quite poorly written, and not very interesting
Review: This is the first Julie Garwood book I have ever read and I must say that I was quite appalled. The writing itself was not very good at all. Often the words were clumsily thrown together as though with no thought at all. There was extreme word overuse. The story was even worse. It is so unrealistic and unconvincing that the whole plot, or what could possibly be called a plot, is dull in the extreme. Alesandra is made out to be a rich, bumbling dullard while Colin is the suave and intelligent one who laughs at her mistakes. It makes me sick, because this is basically all the book is about. I do not recommend this as any sort of reading material, serious or just for fun.
Rating:
Summary: No other book can compare with this one!
Review: CASTLES is one of my all time favorite books. I don't think that anyone could ever write a book as good or better than Ms. Garwood did with this book. Exceptional!
