Summary: Wonderful Book!!
Review: Amanda Rose was a book that I couldn't put down. Its great for those who get disinterested very quickly with books. There was always something suspensful, romantic, or funny going on. Never a dull moment.

Summary: the hero is way to selfish and unfeeling
Review: he allows this innocent girl to give him everything including her virginity but gives nothing in return not even pleasure(for quite a while). the ending wasnt bad but the rest was boring at best

Summary: All time favorite book.
Review: I dont care what anyone has to say about this book, it is my all time favorite book and will never leave my keeper shelf. No, it is not all mushy, nothing but romance. There are problems, Matt can be too hardheaded and Amanda too immature at times. But it goes with the story. I dont know about you, but I do not liek every book I read to be just like the one before it, with a plot that is only a little different. I love this book.

Summary: Oh, soooooooo romantic!
Review: I enjoyed the book from beginning to the end. It has good character development and a romantic story line. Amanda was spirited, yet lovely and sweet. She literally saved the life of Matt. Matt was overwhelmed, almost could not believe that Amanda could be such an angel. But he did not want to love, because he was scared of being hurt when he loved another woman again. When he found out that he was in love with Amanda, he tried to rein his heart and clinged on a misunderstanding to keep him from falling head over heel with Amanda. Amanda was much more courageous in love, even making the painful decision to leave Matt, because she thought Matt did not love her and it would be a torture to be with him. The climax of such romance was when the hard hero finally came to term with his intense feelings which made those words many times more touching. A story with a happy ending, leaving a sweet smile on your face when you close the book.

Summary: Cute fluff
Review: I liked the book. It was a fast page turner, while the heroine and the hero could've had more plot to explore more of the relationship they have with each other.This is about a virgin at the nunnery with an "evil" half brother wanting to sell her out to a very unattractive but rich gentleman, and the evil brother is vital to the plot in a way that he has indirectly created a romantic situation for the heroine and hero. The hero is kinda a bit too brawny for my own tastes, if you ask me. I give this 4 stars because I liked how the author used her words and it provided a smooth reading plus there is a cute factor!

Summary: Great Story!!
Review: I've read a few stories by Karen Robards, and this is one of my favorites. Matt is a great hero, even though it takes him awhile to come around. Throughout the book you can feel the intensity of his love for Amanda, even when he's being mean. Amanda is the perfect innocent young girl who takes you through her blossoming into womanhood and newly found love chapter by chapter. Everyone remembers the earth shattering experience of your first love. This book demonstrates it perfectly!

Summary: I'm straddling the fence on this one...
Review: It's the 1840's at a convent in England where Amanda Rose was taken to live by her hateful half-brother years ago after her father's death. She just received notice that he has arranged a marriage for her. Thru this marriage he will be able to obtain her inheritance money. Being the free spirit that she is, she wonders the beach when she can escape without notice by the nuns. It is during one of these times that Amanda runs upon Matt Grayson's battered body. He reveals to her the trouble that he is in but there is something about him that makes her want to help him. For this reason Amanda takes Matt to a cave that she knows about for hiding. Matt Grayson is a ship & merchant owner from New Orleans and has been to England on business. During a business deal Matt was drugged, later to be woken up to police arresting him for the murder of an influencial family in England. Thru chance he escapes the hangman's rope (being shot during the escape) and ends up on a beach down below a convent while trying to wait for his ship to return for him. Matt trust Amanda not to turn him in when police show up at the convent to arrest him. Amanda runs to warn Matt, leading the police right to him. Matt thinking Amanda has turned him in runs out to the sea to escape. His body isn't found but is believed to have drowned. Amanda's brother finds out that she has been hiding Matt and threatens to turn her in if she doesn't cooperate by marrying his suitor. Mourning Matt's death and her future, Amanda wonders out on the beach one night to be kidnapped by some of Matt's men and brother. She is taken to his ship to sail to New Orleans. Amanda finds out that Matt is still alive. And thinking Amanda turned him in, Matt is out for revenge. He will use Amanda sexually until he tires of her than plans to "throw her to the side." Those are his plans until feelings get in the way and Amanda's brother shows up in New Orleans to take her back to England. Matt's brother is really my favorite. It was a good story but was pretty chopped up at times, which normally isn't like KB's writing. I really would like to rate this one a 3 1/2 stars. It is a sweet read, but there are so many better ones out there. I would recommend reading it but it is not a keeper for me. And it's not KR's best.
