Petals on the River

Summary: Very captivating...didn't want to put it down!!
Review: Very good romance novel from start to finish. Once you start reading it, it is hard to put it down to take a break. This book is very much equal to some of Mrs. Woodiwiss' earlier books such as Shanna and Ashes in the Wind. I enjoyed it thoroughly!!!!

Summary: The story line was good.
Review: I have read every book that Kathleen Woodiwiss has written and have enjoyed every one of them. I enjoyed this story very much but I think the 'love making' was draged out. It seemed to go on for several chapters. The story line would have been just as good if those chapters were shorter. It is also interesting to me how quickly the innocent young maid leans exotic love making.

Summary: Woodiwiss has done it again with another fabulous book!!!
Review: This was the first Woodiwiss book that I ever read. At the time, I was so surprised by the heartwarming story that it told and was spurred into reading more. I have now read all of the books that she has written and I can say with honesty that this is the best of all. If you like a story that will make you laugh, cry, scream, giggle, and just amke you feel good, then you must read this book. And as for those readers that think that this book was shallow and pathetic, here is my thought for you: get a life. This was a good book and if you were too dense to enjoy it, then I feel very sorry for you because you must have a very boring life!

Summary: Not quite up to par, but still a Woodiwiss none the less.
Review: I have been reading Woodiwiss since her first books, Flame and the Flower and Wolf and the Dove. I find her to be the very best of the genre and judge all other books by her. Her stories have substance and character and you find yourself actually involved with the characters so that you don't want the book to end. I find myself re-reading all her stories. This book was a little short of that. Although still highly readable and enjoyable I don't know it just didn't seem to be enough. However the characters were still likeable and I would recommend the book.

Summary: I loved this book....Kathleen Woodiwiss knows real romance
Review: Kathleen Woodiwiss captures you from the first page. Here romances are what dreams are made of while still retaining a certain amount of innocence. Ms. Woodiwiss has spoiled me to any other writers, she can not be matched or beat. I anxiously look forward to her next work. The character Gage was just another in the long line of perfectly wonderful leading men in her novels.

Summary: The story was good.
Review: The author seems obsessed with the word "orb". The character's eyes are referred to as orbs and the breasts are referred to as orbs!

Rating:
Summary: A very enjoyable feel good book
Review: I enjoyed this book, couldn't put it down until I finished it. Left you with a warm feeling.

Summary: Its too bad this book recieved so many poor reviews....
Review: This is the first Kathleen Woodiwiss book that I have read, and I can't believe the other reviews have been so negative. I really enjoyed it - both the first and the second time through! I can only look forward to her other books!

Summary: Fabulous. I thought this book was tops.
Review: This is the first Woodiwiss book I have read, and I am reading it a second time. A co-worker introduced me to this book. I got to feel for the characters, and they're like old friends to me already. I can't wait to read more!

Summary: Very enjoyable to read; it flows along at a good pace
Review: This is the first Woodiwiss book I've read and enjoyed to very much. A very good change from the ordinary romance novels. The charaters are believable and I like the fact that some of the family did like each other in the end. It is a change to see that the woman in the story can enjoy and like sex without being a "slut". Can hardly wait to read another of Ms. Woodiwiss' novels.
