Summary: good but the humor was missing
Review: I have enjoyed all of Lynsay Sands' books but the I have noticed that the last few I've read are missing one key feature. Humor. The first book I read of hers "Always" was packed with humor and it made the story so memorable. This book was sadly lacking in it. It made for a good read but I don't think I'll reread it anytime soon. I liked the hero, Galen with is rare red hair. He seemed fair and gentle. The heroine Kyla is a strong willed wounded woman who was Galen's equal. I wish there had been a bit more conversation and maybe a bit more of a struggle between the two before they fell in love. I did enjoy the secondary characters in this book. The were the only humor to be found.

Summary: An Eye for an Eye, A Wife for a Wife
Review: In keeping with her other books, "Sweet Revenge" encompassed all of the typical aspects found in a Sands novel ... romance, humor, wit, an interesting subplot, and a strong relationship between the hero and heroine.Laird Galen MacDonald's wife was murdered nine months past by his nemesis, Laird MacGregor. When Galen learns that the MacGregor plans to take an English woman as a bride, he decides to get his revenge by stealing her and marrying her himself. Lady Kyla Forsythe, the English bride in question, quickly realizes her feelings for the man who ambushed her traveling party, captured her, and wedded her. And above all else, is grateful to him for stealing her away from the MacGregor, a man rumored to have beaten his first wife to death. The book was a trademark Lynsay Sands in that it was witty and humorous throughout. She also wove an interesting murder-mystery subplot throughout the novel to keep the book well-paced. If you liked "The Deed", you will love "Sweet Revenge".

Summary: If You read one, you must read all...
Review: Keeping with tradition "Sweet Revenge" is witty and a absolute joy to read. If you read one of Ms. Sands books, you will want to go back and read the rest.

Summary: Is this madness or love??? Since its Lynsay might be both!!
Review: Well, Lynsay is back with another delightful tell. After her brother's nearly fatal wounding, she flees the hills of her Highlands and finds herself captured by a well-muscled Scotsmen. Little did she know the Scotsman was bent on revenge. Laird Galen MacDonald's wife was murdered nine months beforet by his enemy, Laird MacGregor. When Galen learns that the MacGregor plans to take an English woman as a bride, he decides to get his revenge by stealing her and marrying her himself. Lynsay's character is no weak-willed miss, and while thrilled she is saved from having to marry the MacGregor, she plans a little revenge of her!! Lynsay proves once again she is a writer that delivers!!!

Review: While I do enjoy this authors books, to the point of rushing to my local "Book Swap" and library after my first by her, there were just a few things that bothered me. The First being she reminds me too much of Julie Garwood, whom I love. Sands has the same mood for her stories minus the character development, humor, tension, etc. In a way it's great to find a new author like one you love, the problem, I feel, being that they're too similar and Sands is found lacking. Especially with this story. In Garwood's "The Wedding" it's almost the exact same plot. Heroine waylaid/rescued by hero while on the way to be married to a cruel laird, whom also is a terror. A quick wedding...Just writing about it has me smiling and wanting to reread Garwood's for the 20th time. I don't think I could bring myself to reread any of Sands books. While I have to say they are good stories and I will read more by this author. I didn't feel a deep connection with the characters. It is as if they meet, put up with one another, have very few meaningful moments, if any, then on the last page declare their feelings and devotion. What I'm saying is if you like Sand's, you'll be kissing Julie Garwood's book covers.
