Summary: Enough is Enough.
Review: What an awful book. I didn't like the storyline or the characters in this book at all. I've tried to remain a loyal Johanna Lindsay fan through her last few books but she has made it difficult. I kept hoping that the same author who has given us those wonderful books about that wonderful Mallory family will somehow come back to us. It doesn't look like that is going to happen anytime soon. I can't waste my time or money on her books any longer.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I made myself finish this book
Review: I am a devoted JL fan but her most recent books ...well, ... I don't even think she's writing them anymore. I wanted to write a review but I don't want to rehash bad memories. Please, don't be discouraged by this JL book, She has 5 star material out there. Guarantee 5 star material...Gentle Rouge, Once a Princess, Man of My Dreams, Hearts Aflame, Secret Fire, Maybe JL should re-read her earlier works and then give us the goods!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: will the real johanna lindsey please stand up?
Review: Is it just me, or is someone else writing books under the name Johanna Lindsey? I have every book she has ever written but the last few ....I don't know I think someone else is writing them because this was terrible!!!! She is capable of 5 star books. Books that once you pick up, you can't put them down. Please don't waste your time or money on this one. her earlier novels are worth every penny. Maybe she should re-read some herself.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Oh dear!!
Review: I have to agree with all of the reviewers here, Lindsey is certainly falling way below par - her early books were superb and I couldn't wait to get one, if I saw one on the bookshelves I grabbed it up - not now. I always wonder is it going to be worth it - the 16 Ian's here should have warned me but I stifled the concern. Really the fact that the heroine had 16 blooming uncles all called Ian was ridiculous in the extreme anyway - sorry Ms. Lindsey not funny or humorous just daft, really really daft!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Is It Lindsey's fault or the Publishers?
Review: The book was awful and boring! I think publishers want the authors of today to spit out one or two hardcovers a year, assuming, (erronously) that loyal fans will simply read any garbage put before us. Anyone who bought this JL book did get suckered, I guess, but we romance readers learn quickly from out mistakes. JL should be held somewhat accountable, I suppose, after all, it's her imagination, or lack of, that gave us this story. Lincoln was definitely whiny, and babyish. I have never seen a more unmanly hero in my 25 years of reading.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Terrible
Review: This was one of the worst books I've ever read - no plot, shallow characters. I'm embarrassed that I wasted the time completing it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The worst and most disapointing book ever
Review: I absolutlly LOVE Johanna Lindsey. I don't think there has been a book that I haven't liked...Well except for this one. To put it nicely. It [STUNK]. There was no plot. Most of the book focused around the Lincoln's (the main character's) emotional drama. In reality, im not even sure you could even call it a romance. It's more like a "I'm a whiny boy that can't grow out of my childhood. Waaaa. Woe is me." You get my point. If you don't believe me, than at least wait for the CHEAPER paperback so when you're done reading it you wont feel like you've wasted that much money. It's realy not worth your time.

Summary: Lacks previous Lindsey quality
Review: Although this newset release by Johanna Lindsey has potential, it just does not live up to the quality of the past. As a sequel to LOVE ME FOREVER, you would hope it would be filled with the same humor and stirring passion. Instead, it is full of annoying uncles with confusing names and endless nonsense about how Lincoln was a "crazy" child. Didn't we all do crazy things when we were kids? Does that make us crazy as adults? Hardly. The premise is utter nonsense making it quite a disappointing novel. Ms. Lindsey's past few books lack in quality making me wonder if this author is burned out in romance writing. Perhaps if she followed Julie Garwood's example and changed genre, she may find a breath of fresh air to write a book worthy of her talent.
