Rating: Summary: Actually deserves zero stars Review: This makes the second and the last book I've brought by Jude Deveraux. My main regret is that I purchased this piece of garbage for $7.00 from a store. I definitely will not be risking my money on any of her other novels. I could not believe that Michael could possibly love this shrew of a woman. She didn't seem to have one redeeming characteristic. Not only was she a witch, she was also a gullible fool. I would warn other readers to stay away from this one.
Rating: Summary: What happened to my favorite author???? Review: I hate to admit it, but I have to say I was very disappointed with this one. Usually, when I see a new one from Ms. Deveraux, I don't even read the synopsis, I just purchase it right then and there. Lately her novels have been very tired. The characters lack depth and personality. Her sharp wit and sense of humor are gone. I long for her books like the Montgomery annals. Those were great reading. What happened? It seems that she's lost the interest in writing.
Rating: Summary: I could not finish this book it was so bad Review: I really loved a "Knight in Shining Armor" and then went on to read as many Montgomery/Taggert books as I could find. I cannot believe that Ms. Deveraux actually wrote this book...it was so bad. The characters were unsympathetic. There was a distinct lack of wit and humor. I could not finish it although I really tried.
Rating: Summary: Humor, Mystery and Romance all in one Review: A mystery romance? I found it a novel concept (pun intended). I appreciated the intertwining of intrigue, humor and romance (not explicit or mushy garbage). Rather enjoyable overall.
Rating: Summary: As always - Jude wins! Review: I've read over many of the reviews that others have given and was dissapointed with the over all outcome. Jude Deveraux is my absolute favorite authors and I always look forward to her new releases - Although An Angel for Emily was not the best she has done - It was definitly an uplifting and light story that made you smile when the book was over. Way to go Jude!
Rating: Summary: this is garbage! Review: i couldn't wait to read this book and when i finally did i was disappointed beyond belief! first of all, can anyone say "A Knight in Shining Armor?" actually, it's insulting to that wonderful story b/c "angel" is so horrible. what happened to originality and creativity, jude? this book fit every stereotype that people tack onto romance novels. the hero was annoying and so was the heroine. i can't even remember their names.oh yeah, can anyone say, "City of Angels," hmmmmmm?
Rating: Summary: Fairly-packaged load of nothingness Review: I was very disappointed by this new book by Deveraux. Like most other reviewers, I have read most of her books. I used to look forward to the Montgomery or Taggert sagas she so eloquently portrayed. But THIS? The heroine is too simple, too flat. The hero, too cute, too perfect. It seems to me there lacks a sense of characterization in the novel. So the plot IS predictible. But with some real characters, that wouldn't have been so bad. The whole ensemble, though, was a snore. Besides, can anyone really feel sexual towards an angel, especially one that stresses so often his non-human qualities? Or is it just me???
Rating: Summary: Not highly recommended but acceptable. Review: While Ms. Deveraux has never failed to amuse me, this book has made my opinion of my idol's writing drop a little lower. Sad to say, the usual hard and fast way of writing was dropped altogether and I believe that several parts of this book is still missing like pieces from an unfinished jigsaw. Read it, but don't expect too much from it.
Rating: Summary: How do I sign up to be her editor and stop this nonsense? Review: This is the worst book Jude Deveraux has written. The humour was forced and overdone, the plot was predictable, there were inconsistencies, and the characters were not well developed. The book, which I only finished because I paid good money for it, was strange. If this was your first Deveraux book, please don't be discouraged... Try The Black Lyon and start yourself on a love affair with the Montgomerys! Let's hope her next book is more of the usual Jude Deveraux caliber we are used to.
Rating: Summary: A wonderful story of love. Review: For those who believe in Angels, a must read! Jude Deveraux writes beautiful stories and this is one of her best.
