A Year and a Day

Rating:
Summary: Good reading!
Review: This was the frist Henley book that I have read and I went out after I was done and bought more of her work. Her ability to spin a plot and place her characters in very 'romantic novel' situations was wonderful. I highly advise lovers of this kind of writing to pick up a copy.

Summary: Has good and bad points
Review: Though I found no fault with the language, I was bored by the dull details of war movements and by the secondary romance that only detracted from the main story. More time should have been devoted to Lynx and Jane. The book was half over before the author properly focused on their relationship. Therefore, the second half of the book is much better than the first. I found the part when Jane nursed Lynx back to health especially touching and beautiful.

Review: Virginia Henley is one of the better romance writers out there and i look forward to all her books. Actually i have all her books. Lyn de Warenne is every woman dream. Unfortunately Jane Leslie does not see this at the time. Lyn is a soldier and a powerful man in Edward Plantagenet court. The one thing he wants above all else is to have a child but he thinks that something is wrong with him. Little did he know that all was in tact. He met Jane Leslie a servant in one of his castles ,he realizes that all her sisters are very healthy child bearing women so he get handfasted to her and she bares him a son.During this time Edward court is rock with trouble and intrigue but the hero and the heoine wins in the end.

Summary: Great book with a very originalstory line!
Review: When I bought "A Year and A Day" I thought that it would be a mindless distraction for a few hours, but I really didn't want to stop reading for anything.After I finished reading this book I went out and bought all the others by Virgina Henley that I could find. Lynx de Warenne is a prized warrior to the English. The one thing he wants more than anything is an heir. Jane Leslie is half celtic, half morman, who lives in a Scottish castle of Dumfries that was invaded by Lynx. When Lynx finds out that his steward Jock Leslie has ten children he thinks that the chance of having children with one of Jocks daughters would be a good chance. He proposes to Jane a handfasting for a year and a day. Jane never wants to marry or be handfasted to anyone but he is her lord so she must surrender... I have read this book more than five times i just the year I've had it. I highly recomend this book!

Summary: TERRIBLE!
Review: Why? Because the characters were shallow, one-dimensional, and had no chemistry. Besides, the way they "fall in love" is unbelievable. All romantic wishes aside, people don't fall in love that way. It wasn't believable. Then, there were the sex scenes that spoke more of physical lust than love and affection. They did really seem like soft porn...too crude and harsh, and lacked words that could have made them a thing of beauty. Not to mention phrases that were certainly NOT used in that time period. Yuck!! Just all around not believable, and not that enjoyable.
