Swept Away

Rating:
Summary: book not on par with earlier work
Review: Candace Camp should try to recreate the great writing she did in Rosewood and Heirloom - her recent books have not done her justice. I loaned Rosewood to people who would have never read a romance novel and they loved it. I hope she does another good book someday.

Rating:
Summary: Pleasant, Predictable
Review: Formulaic, familiar, an easy read, but certainly not on par with her earlier work. Buy this used, you won't want to keep it.

Summary: enjoyable
Review: I have only read one other book by this author and I enjoyed this one a little more. I got it from a used book store and recommend doing the same.

Summary: A good read
Review: In 1811, Deverel Grey, Lord Stonehaven, holds conclusive evidence that Selby Armiger embezzled money from the trust fund that he co-managed with three other aristocrats. Only Selby's spouse Phoebe and his sister Julia feel their beloved was innocent. Adding to the Ton's ostracizing Selby and his family is the belief that he killed himself rather than face the disgrace of his crime. Only Julia feels Selby died from a hunting accident.

Julia blames everything on Deverel, whom she believes cleverly absconded with the funds. Her efforts to abduct the man to force a confession from him fail. Julia turns to Plan B, seducing Deverel. However, her plan backfires when she falls in love with her enemy. Deverel reciprocates her feelings. Still, Julia feels she is disgracing the memory of her beloved by wanting to be held by the person that she strongly feels "murdered" Selby.

SWEPT AWAY is an exciting Regency romantic suspense that proves there is much life left in the sub-genre. The story line is fast-paced, filled with action, and loaded with an interesting who-done-it. Deverel is a wonderful hero, but Julia,s personal dilemma between love and her obsession steals the show. Readers will want Candace camp to scribe a sequel, starring an adult version of the little boy whose trust fund was being managed.

Summary: Swept Away
Review: Julia Armiger has set her mind to bring revenge on Deverel Grey, Lord Stonehaven. He brought to light the embezellment of money by her brother Selby. Julia and Phoebe, her sister-n-law, don't believe Selby took the money and want to prove his innocence to clear the family name of the scandal that resulted. Julia has tried to get Lord Stonehaven before, but when all attempts fail she sets out with a new plan, a plan of seduction. She believes she can seduce the truth out of Lord Stonehaven. The truth being he embezzled the money, not Selby.

Swept Away was a thrilling book to read. The characters were well developed and well written. Lord Stonehaven is quite enchanting and Julia is a very independent thinker. When she sets her mind to something there is no stopping her. The chemistry between these two is like fire jumping up off the pages. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat. There is romance, humor, mystery, and lots of passion. The characters of Phoebe and Geoffery really added to the story. And Dev's mother Lady Stonehaven was a very likable character. There are many twists and turns to this story.

I have never read a Candace Camp story that I didn't thoroughly enjoy. This book met all my expectations of a Candace Camp novel. I was able to read this book in practically one day. It was so easy to get into and to keep reading. A must read for any Candace Camp fan or anyone new to a Camp novel.

Summary: Great Book!
Review: Okay, first things first...I have a major confession....this was the first historical romance i've ever read. Secondly, this is the first book I've ever read by this author. But everything considered, i had a wonderful time! I liked the story a lot, and plot, twists, and characterizations were remarkable. The story is about a young woman named Julia who is out for revenge...by seduction. Lord Stonehaven is the unlucky fellow who is the target, after blaming an embezzlement on Julia's brother, Selby. If that wasn't bad enough, Selby's suicide makes things worse, and Julia blames the whole death and break up of her family on Stonehaven.She makes good plans for revenge, and is even admirable in all her endeavors, but she forgot something...she didn't take her attraction for him into account. The book is humorous while intriguing, and I just couldn't put it down. The characters were amazing, and it was so good that I read the whole book in one stretch...it was THAT good. Just a small drawback...I didn't find it that far behind in time. Though it was supposed to have taken place in 1811, it somehow seemed modern, and I didn't have a sense of being displaced in time. But overall it was an extremely good read.
