Summary: Unbelievably boring
Review: I, too, thought the Gold Coin was so sugary and lame that I wondered who in the world would want to read the Silver Coin. I had no interest in reading the Silver Coin because I was skimming through the Gold Coin trying to hurry and finish a boring book. In the Gold Coin, they fell in love almost immediately, never had any conflicts and are just PERFECT for each other. They solve a fairly simple mystery together and naturally, live happily ever after. They were so perfect and sweet and "precious" it was ridiculous and boring. After reading some of the reviews here, I see that the Silver Coin was the same story line with different characters. I'm glad I didn't waste my time.

Summary: Brenna's Story
Review: If you have read any other Andrea Kane books you may be disappointed. Although is is a good story there is just something that seeems to be lacking. I am not sure what that something is but it seems to lack some of the magic that is Andrea Kane. I am a huge fan and I buy her books simply due to the name on the cover and this will not change.This is Brenna's story and is the conclusion to the coin series. The first being The Gold Coin. Although it is not a five star story it is still worth the time to read.

Summary: Better than the Gold Coin...
Review: Let me start by saying that this book is better than the prequel, The Gold Coin, in terms of the plot & the mystery line. Compare to the first book, this one encourages you to read on. The thrill & suspense of finding out who the real assassin is, is the bright side of this book. The way the assassin delivers his threat & the way A.K. described the detailed thoughts of the sicko assassin made this book spine chilling. I actually got goose bumps from time to time. I think she should be a mystery writer more than a romance (base on this Coin series, that is). I somewhat enjoyed this book bec. of this mystery plot. However, the romance is as much disappointing as the prequel. The love story of Breanna & Royce was just as unimpressive, unconvincing & dull as Anastasia's & Damen's. Their relationship wasn't developed enough - the declaration of their love was too simple, quick & unexciting - NO challenge whatsoever. Like the Gold Coin, this book also shows too many contradictory conversations, actions & gestures given the time of the 18th century. I did not like the idea of Breanna, who was supposedly a prim & proper lady, became the seducer in their relationship. Base on this Coin series, the two ladies where the aggressive one when it came to showing & demanding sexual desires... OR perhaps I am just old fashion & prefers the heroine as naive & innocent when it comes to this area. The reason why I rate this book only a 3 stars is because despite my enjoyment to the mystery plot, this book was under Regency/Historical Romance gender. The romance as I have said above was simply not impressive & the historical time plot wasn't researched on & used properly. Too many inconsistencies & contradictions.... Had this book been under Mystery (& not historical), I would have rate it a 4 stars. I am a new historical romance novel reader but I have read more than 40 books in this gender for the past three months ( mostly written by Julie Garwood's, Judith McNaught's, Jude Deveraux's & Jill Barnett's). In this span of time, I found out my own preferences. I have learned to know exactly what I like and what to expect in a historical romance stories. Perhaps my expectations are higher because of the previous books I have read & from the above authors? Well, all these comments are only my opinion. Everyone have different taste & preferences. I read quite a bit of 5 stars rating here in Amazon about this book, So...it is always best to find out for yourself. I suggest you barrow this book in the library to be on the safe side. Then buy your own copy afterwards - if u find it more than what I have said. Good luck!

Summary: Who ever heard of an 19th century heroine called Breanna?
Review: Maybe I'm being too picky, but I get tired of suspending disbelief with romances. A note to Kane: no one in the 19th century would have been named Breanna! It's a misspelled version of a name that would likely have been spelled Briana, if it was used at all in that time period. She's named her characters straight off the top 10 list of 1999. The names of the heroine's children are also utterly unrealistic. Holly? Quinn? The heroines' characters are also overly modern. Liberated women of a certain type didn't exist then. Read Mary Balogh or Amanda Scott, two authors with characters who are a touch more believable. This book does have all the required elements -- romance, sex, a touch of danger -- though Kane's language and plot is sugary. "Precious" is obviously her favorite word.

Summary: Not as good as "The Gold Coin"

Summary: OK
Review: Nothing stellar, but the story was OK. In general I liked the 2 main characters and all the sub-characters, including Breanna's cousin, Stacie and her husband (from 'The Gold Coin'). The women's lives are in deadly danger, their husbands just happen to be the most capable men in England, an assassin is trying to hunt them...at the height of danger what do the women do? Sneak away from their guards and experienced protectors, run out into an open field determined to hunt him down. What do you think happens? He catches them of course. Give me a break. And they are trying to prove that they're not stupid useless females?... Weak over-used finale plot device detracted from a pretty good story.

Summary: don't bother
Review: The Gold Coin was so bad that I can't imagine why anyone would waste time on the Silver one.
