Summary: more passion than drama
Review: "Bold Angel" is the story of Caryn, the daughter of a slain saxon lord in an Noram conquered england, and Ral, a Norman lord who now holds Caryn's father's land. Caryn was living in a convent when she's taken by lord malvern, Ral's rival, to Ral's holdings. Ral proposes that she marry him to save her from Malvern and so the story goes.

Caryn is a fiery herione who follows the mold of petite leading lady for the bigger than life hero. It's an endearing match that leads to some interesting problems. This story is laced with conflict but it's more the emotional kind than any real actions.

I found myself agreeing with both reviews that said this was a great book and those that said it had little action. Though Ral is a warlord of sorts the story mostly centers around Caryn and her relationship with Ral. This actually reminded me of a julie Garwood story in that respect. But this absence of violence didn't really detract from the story. Ral and Caryn's relationship is entertaining enough in itself with each one fighting desire for the other and both turning out to be passioante caring people.

The secondary characters are compelling and are there to move the story along and add perspective rather than detract from the story or set up a sequel...though i would love to read Odo's story, ah well can't have everything.

This is a nice work that is an enjoyable read...check it out but don't expect some sweeping war drama it's a little bit more fluff than that...it's a romance work. you know love and opptimism and all :)

Summary: No big deal....Nothing so special about it.
Review: After having read so many delightful comments about this book , i decided to give it a try. After all i had also read another of Ms Martin's Books which is 'Savannah Heat' which i liked very much. I was prepared to like this book in the same way but the truth is that i didn't. I found it boring at times. Never any real action. Never any real danger. Just when things should be spicing up a bit the hero comes and save the heroine without anything having occured. There is almost no real action in this book and for me this is a great fault in a romance plus that the romance is not such great one too. At least, i've read better , even from Kat Martin herself - in Savannah Heat to be exact. After having read this one i doubt that i will buy again any of her books. I wuold not call it a bad book , but just not my style - i like more action, more thrill in a romance so that it does not get boring.

I dont know if i would recommend it to anyone.It just depends on the tastes of the readers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Medieval Romance! It's on my keeper shelf.
Review: I have just started reading Kat Martin. Found this one in a used book store. What a treasure! I enjoyed Kat's rich detail in the descriptions of medieval life. I enjoyed the strength and values of both characters. I was in tears by the end with the depths of their pain. Kat writes of true and deep love and I really like her style. Sensuous without vulgarity. Yet lots of action, intrigue and suspense. She has quickly become one of my favorite writers.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Your typical bodice ripper romance
Review: I know I'm in the minority here, but I just didn't think this was all that great. It was just like any other romance. I may be a bit biased since I had just finished reading my 5th Gaelen Foley romance when I started this and it's difficult for any romance novelist to compete with her works. However, I just couldn't find anything that special about this novel. It is like so many other romance novels that it doesn't stand out. I'm not saying it was "bad," but it just wasn't special enough to rate 5 stars. In fact, it was so typical that I became bored with it and didn't bother to finish it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE BEST MEDIEVAL ROMANCE STORY EVER!!!!!!!
Review: I LOVED this book!! This is the BEST book I've ever read!! I have read and re-read this book so many times I've los count. I'm in love with Ral. And he is in love with his "Cara". I read this book about 2 years ago, and it's still my favorite. Because of this book, I've read all of Kat Martin's books, but to me none of them compare to this unforgettable love storie ( Dont get me wrong know, her other books are pretty good too). I mean I really felt hurt and betrayed when I saw him(in my mind) with Lynett(hope I spelled her name right. Gosh how I HATE her!) I also felt heart broken. And when he slapped Caryn, Wow did I feel that!! But I also felt his love and pain, and that is why I absalutely loved this book. It really plays with your emotions. I don't want to over paise this book, but I can't really help it. So, I hope I'm doing good instead of harm to someone who has not read it yet. I give this book 10 Stars! Like I said I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Bold Angel is NO disappointment!
Review: If you're a fan of medieval romances, you'll love this book.. of course, it's no "Knight in Shining Armor", but the characters, dialouge, plot.. there'll all top of the line. Kat Martin shines in this book and brings her characters to life. This book paints 11th century England like NO other I have ever read, and in that aspect, I strongly recommend it.
