Silken Threads

Summary: Well, I sure loved it - sorry not all agree!
Review: This book was enchanting. It ended all too soon, but the ending was great. Every book I have read by Patricia Rice has been outstanding. Her characters are so individual - no repeats. I keep looking for more from this author - I think I have read them all!

Summary: Historical Romance at its best!
Review: This is one of the better historical romances on the market today. While there is still plenty of passion, there is also a credible historical backdrop woven into the plot. Joanna, the heroine, is just a little too independent to believe, but otherwise the story itself is well-told and the little twists make this more than a run-of-the-mill romance. The hero is also a man with faults, but not so darkly brooding as to be a stereotype. The sexual encounters were tastefully written yet still steamy! Recommended for all lovers of historical romance.

Summary: Romantic, Suspenseful and Well-Written
Review: This story seemed to come to life right before my eyes. I could see the house where Graeham was recuperating from the beating by a couple of thugs sent by !@#$ to kill him. I could see both Graeham and Joanna falling in love. Even the secondary characters were brought to life, and I shed a tear for Thomas. I can't wait for the sequil.

Summary: Actually..3 1/2 stars.......
Review: This was an enjoyable read...it moved along nicely and it had an interesting plot. However....I didnt give it a higher score for a few reasons..
1. While I did connect well with the characters..I felt that we only really had a chance to know them well separately ...it seems to me that they spent more time thinking about eachother rather than interacting. For this reason, I found that when they finally came together I didnt care as much as I would have liked to.
2.I found it highly unlikely that Olive's story would end up as it did.
3. There were just to many convenient happenings at the ending to make it fall into place.
On the other hand, this was definitely a unique plot idea..and I didnt guess the mystery until it was revealed.
Im not saying that "Silken Threads" was a bad book..infact I've already ordered it's sequel...All I'm saying is that it fell short of being a keeper.
All in all...not bad, but not fantastic either
