Summary: The Charm School
Review: This was the most boring book I have read in a long time. I hate ugly duckling stories. Also it drug on and on and never became interesting. I have liked most of her books a lot but not this one.

Summary: A delightful "ugly ducking type story"
Review: In this story Isabella (Bella) is the "ugly duckling" spinster of the family. All the rest of her family is gorgeous,blond and outgoing. She on the other hand has glasses, wears dark colors and can go unnoticed in just about any crowd. She longs to do something with her life to get the attention of the one she admires. Through a turn of events she is able to be the interpretor aboard a ship full of rough sailors. The sailors take her on and she wins all of them over, mostly by being so intent on taking in all that she can while on ship. She even starts to win over the captain. This is a charming story of the "ugly duckling turning into the beauitiful swan" and how others react. One you start it you won't want to put it down!

Summary: This book was so sweet!!! Not sticky sweet, just right!!
Review: Have you ever felt that you were an Ugly Duckling? Wished you were prettier, less clumsy, a better conversationalist? Then you'll love this book. Our heroine is just that, the odd one out in an accomplished, attractive family of overachievers. Her light has been hidden under a barrel for so long she doesn't know that she has one. That is, until she signs on as ship's translator and spends months at sea on a ship full of "rough" men, oone of only 3 women on board. The sailors take it upon themselves without even realizing it to bring out her true beauty. A more unlikely "Charm School" you could hardly imagine. This story is full of warmth and wit, and the romance is so very tender and sweet, you cannot resist it!
