Summary: Hawk and the Dove - read only if desperate and snowed in!
Review: After reading 'Henley's 'Pirate and the Pagan, Raven and the Rose, and the Falcon and the Flower', I found that 'Hawk and Dove' scored the same as 'Dragon and Jewel' on my 'read again only if on a remote island and there are no natives to talk to'. Virginia Henley is one of my favorite authors! I loved all the characters in the three novels mentioned above, however, as I stated in reviewing 'Dragon and Jewel', I was disappointed by 'Henley', but alas, I own 'Pirate and Pagan (disapproved of the adultery plot), Raven and Rose, and Falcon and Flower', and they are my cherished 'dime store purchases'. Maybe I disliked this novel because at the time I was reading 'Hawk and the Dove', I kept thinking, if that was my husband cheating on me with me, I would slip poison in his wine goblet

Summary: Astounding Book, Read it again and again!
Review: I admired Sabre Wilde's spunkiness and daring. She turned out pretty well, considering her annoyingly snobby sisters. I was laughing at the plot. Imagine that, a man cheating on his wife with...his wife! I loved the way Sabre kept mentioning that she wanted to be married to Hawk. Endearing story, this one is a keeper.

Summary: This book is HOT!
Review: I agree to a certain extent with the previous review. While I don't think this book is near as good as the other 3, (and I did like the Dragon and the Jewel) it definitely held my attention. Things were very hot in the bedroom and he did not cheat on his wife because his mistress was his wife. Virginia Henley is the incomparable queen of hot, exciting romance!

Summary: horrible
Review: I agree with one of the reviewers. Only read this if you have nothing else to do. The heroine was a tremendous turn off. In my opinion, the whole book was about her being selfish and mnipulative. I will never read another one of Henley's books again.

Summary: One of Ms. Henley's greatest reads.
Review: I have read all of Virginia Henley's books and this is near the top of my favorites list. She has her hero chase the female lead in this book. Shane pursues Sabre with a venom. Little does he know, Sabre has their relationship all purposely planned out from the very beginning. I love books where the male lead is desperately in love with the heroine and her feelings are not entirely mutual....yet. If you like Elizabethian era historical romances you'll love this one.

Summary: Exciting Until The Last Page
Review: I have read almost all of Henley's works, and have loved almost all of them(with the exception of Falcon and The Flower). I think the thing I like best about Henley's books are the heroines. They are strong willed and they know how to stand up to their men. I hate stories where the men treat the heroines to verbal abuse, rape and other various cruelties and they just take it all the way up until the end. Virginia Henley's heroines do not tolerate this treatment for a second. I loved reading about the clash of wills between the hero and heroine in this story and Sabre(the heroine) does some of the most outrageous things that will have you laughing out loud. If you are a Henley fan, don't skip this one.

Summary: One of Henley's Better Books
Review: I liked this almost as well as The Marriage Prize. One thing about many of Henley's women -- they are usually spoiled selfish brats. It is hard to like them, but in this book, it was easier to take. I liked it -- I could not put it down. I just wish her women were a little nicer.
