Summary: Silver angel
Review: I've never been Lindsey fan, her stories are so unbelievable I have problems to finish them. I bought "Silver angel" because I thought: "OK, it's about love in harem, there will be no heroine's brothers, uncles and causins." One thing I don't like in her books is too many relatives. But with "Silver angel" I was lucky and liked the story from the beginning. I've never read book with plot like that - an Englishman is a twin-brother to king in Orient! And I liked Derek for his typical manly behaviour - to get a pretty girl to bed and then, after satisfying his desires, let her go and go back to the other woman! I write "liked", because it was so realistic!

Summary: I LOVE THIS BOOK!
Review: Johanna Lindsey is my favorite author, and this book is my ultimate favorite. The intrigue is so well intertwined with the romance, it's like two books in one. I could picture the scenes and felt a part of history as I read this story. I have read it several times, and will read it again. It's FABULOUS!!!

Summary: Harem Intrigue
Review: Orphaned Chantelle watches her distant relatives squanders the fortune left to her that she can not touch until she is married. Desperate, she flees only to be kidnapped by barbary pirates. Derek Sinclair has received a secret message from his twin brother Jamil, the Dey of Barikah. Upon his arrival, he is asked to take the Dey's place while an assassin is being hunted down. As a gift Jamil buys Derek his own woman to use while he is gone. Chantelle is that woman. Angry and frightened, she longs for her home in England and fights her captivity. Then she is summoned by the Dey and to her shock the man begins to court her. What will happen when she learns the truth?Chantelle is stunningly beautiful, but perhaps too willful and full of pride. At first I was amused by her fury, then I was thinking "enough! Let's get too the good stuff." Derek is wonderful, patient, kind, and downright seductive. A few times I thought he was more than she deserved, but overall I enjoyed this story.

Summary: Where is the ending?
Review: The first problem with the book came with the two main characters. They did not meet until half way into the book!!! However, when they were together there was the usual passion that Lindsey is known for. Unfortunately, she drops the ball again with the conclusion of the book. Lindsey leaves about ten unanswered questions. Furthermore, the heroine acts uncharacteristically at the end. After turning the last page, the reader will be immensely disappointed. I do not recommend this book. Lindsey needs to rewrite the ending and answer the questions she left hanging.

Summary: Pretty good...
Review: The setting and the plot were great. Derek's character (in the beginning) is nice enough to make you endure what Chantelle must endure. My only problem with the book is how Derek only agrees to marry Chantelle AFTER his fiancee breaks off the engagement--instead of breaking it off himself. Otherwise, this book is a great read.

Summary: Don't know what to think
Review: This is my third JL book and I don't know what to think. I didn't like the fact the two main characters meet on page 141 in one scene. I read up to 171 and the characters hadn't met since page 141. There was too much plot and very little romance. JL describes her characters and settings very descriptively and it comes alive but I guess I just got bored waiting for the action to happen. I stopped reading halfway through the book because I have about 4 more novels I'm dying to read (some by JL) so in the future I might give this one a try again.
