Rating:  Summary: The best! Extremely amusing and enchanting Review: The characters were well-written and the whole plot was charming.
Rating:  Summary: Hot Review: The scene when Katharine is under the influence of the aphrodesiac and Dmitri pleases her at his own expense still fuels my fantasies after 15 years. (I am guessing I remember their names since I haven't picked up the book since I was 15 or so).
Rating:  Summary: Not my Favorite JL book!! Review: The very first romance book I ever read was JL when I was 13 years old. This book was a very emotional book, but it wasn't a favorite of mine. I found a lot of what happened in the book either very disturbing or it doesn't seem to go with the times. Since when does "no" mean "yes drug me" and How could Katherine return to the "ton" with a baby and no recriminations??Everyone was ok with this?? I understand that this is a book so an author has the liberty to do what they will, but it was just a bit harsh to me. I still love JL and I still love her books. This just wasn't one of my favorites!!

Rating:  Summary: What was she thinking? Review: There are several Johanna Lindsey's that I love, but this isn't one of them. The concept is intriguing, and the writing style is fine, but the characters leave much to be desired. Both the man and the woman were so juvenile and contemptible that by the end of the book I just wanted it to be over. Kill them off or fall in love, it didn't much matter. And then there is also my own personal pet peeve: There was a powerful APHRODISIAC central to the plot. That always drives me crazy, because THERE IS NO SUCH THING. Overall this book struck me as monumentally stupid but not in a fun way.
Rating:  Summary: Another hit for Lindsey!! Review: These are the stories of hers that I like most of all. She has a very handsome gentleman fall head over heels in love with an average woman. The woman is not drop dead gorgeous, but he loves her. She is very beautiful to him.
Rating:  Summary: I LOVED THIS BOOK Review: THIS BOOK IS A FAVORITE OF MINE. KATHERINE IS A STRONG HEADED LEADER, SHE IS STUBBORN BUT SMART AND SHE THINKS LOVE IS FOR FOOLS. DIMITRI IS A MAN WHO GETS WHATEVER HIS HEART DESIRES, HE ALSO STONG AND HANDSOME. THESE TWO ARE MADE FOR EACH OTHER. THIS BOOK HAS AN ENDING THAT IS SO SWEET. THE BEST PARTS ARE WHEN THEY MADE LOVE, IT WAS SO STEAMY. I NEVER REALLY GOT INTO ROMANCE NOVELS UNTIL A FRIEND GAVE ME A JOHANNA LINDSAY BOOK, AND I HAVE BEEN HOOKED EVER SINCE. THIS IS ONE THOSE BOOK YOU JUST DON'T WANT TO END. I WONDER IF THERE IS A SEQUEL TO THIS BOOK? PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THEIR IS. I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS BOOK AS MUCH AS I HAVE.
Rating:  Summary: Sick Sick Sick!!! Review: This book is gross. I don't know, sometimes 'rape' that isn't really rape is sexy in romance novels but it was more like the heroine, Katherine, was debased cruelly. She was a proud, strong woman and the whole thing just seemed....sinful, I guess. I'm generally not too uptight but this book just had me shaking my head.Good examples of Lindsay are 'Warrior's Woman' and 'Prisoner of My Desire'. 'Secret Fire' just ignited my revulsion.
Rating:  Summary: Did I miss something? Review: This book really GOT to me. The only reason I didn't give it one star is because this is Johanna Lindsey, and I usually love her books. So, let's get down to it, shall we? Some arrogant prince who is too cocky (yes, down there and up in the head, too) for his own good decides that the streets of London is a wonderful place to kidnap a sex slave, so he has Katherine plucked out of the street and brought to his pleasure. Since when did the streets of London become an open marketplace for sex slaves for Russian royalty? I wasn't aware that diplomacy extended THAT far, lol. This book was too much for me. I know Lindsey has a history of creating males who are gorgeous, strong, and wise (but also arrogant as heck), but usually the male has some qualities to redeem himself. I found Dimitri irritating and too sure of himself.
Rating:  Summary: Lindsey is great!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: This is my all time favourite Lindsey (and I own all of her books) Johanna knows how to keep her reader happy, and this one has a great plot to boot
