Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cloud nine with Iris Johansen!!
Review: Iris Johansen has a totally unique writing style. Her characters are so memorable that I still remember the storyline whereas the book is in tatters from repeated handling.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Fast-paced, sensual, enjoyable read.
Review: Iris Johansen has created yet another compelling romance. The characters are vivid, their emotions and desires well expressed, and their actions clearly explained (even if I didn't always agree with them). The plot is well developed and executed.

The story begins in the fictional country, Montavia, located near Russia, and continues through England and other fictional Balkan countries. It takes place during the years of the Napoleanic Wars. The heroine, Marianna Sanders, is endagered due to her knowledge of facts that could change the course of the entire war; she also has to find a way to protect her little brother. The hero, Jordan Draken, is one of several people trying to get to her to discover what she knows. He ends up being their rescuer and protector from the bad guys, who want the knowledge that Marianna has to do evil and gain more power. In the process of trying to save the world, Marianna and Jordan fall in love (the love scenes, as expected from this author, are very well done). But living happily ever after won't be easy, as they encounter obstacles toward their path to happiness. In addition to the main action, there is a very interesting subplot involving the hero's mother.

As mentioned before, the characters were well done; my only problem with the characters is their reasoning in doing some of the things they do. But overall, this was a very good book that will give readers many hours of pleasure.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It was GREAT !! Iris Johanson has done it again!!
Review: Iris Johanson takes you away to a war torn country and then whisks you to a fabulous estate in England.Her characters seem like real people and they are unforgettable..she shows us the beauty and betrayal of love.The story centers around a forgotten art form and two men who will do anything to possess it and the secret it holds.Unforgettable love,passion and betrayal make this a book well worth reading. Ms. Johanson has shown herself to be a talented and capable author. A great read for anyone who wants to step back in time.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Face of Deception
Review: This is my first book of Iris Johansen and I loved it. She states in the book she will write another to find out if Bonnie can come home to Eve Duncan. If she did what is the title and what other books would I like of hers. I picked up Long After Midnight and maybe the And Then you Die and the Ugly Duckling?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful romance!
Review: This novel made me an Iris Johanson fan! What I love about her works are her strong characters, particularly the heroines. Marianna is a strong, intelligent, creative young woman, who is not the victim of The Beloved Scoundrel, but the champion of the story. Her wit and her passion endear her not only to the handsome hero, but to the readers as well. Bravo, Ms. Johanson!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Face of Deception
Review: This was the very first historical romance book that I read and because of it I have gone on to search, find and read every other book written by Iris Johansen (not to mention about 500 other historical romance novels). She is unmatched in the field of romance. Her mystery thrillers are also wonderful but I must admit I am partial to her romance novels and hope one day she will return to the genre. This book is beyond compare and anyone who disagrees should re-read it!

Both her historical romances and her Loveswept collection are excellent. I can only recommend to readers to search out the used bookstores, websites, etc. and find Iris Johansen's books, you won't be sorry!

Rating: 5 stars
