Chieftain

Summary: This was a great book.
Review: It was a wonderful book that had a lot of passion and reality in it (which is hard to find in a romance sometimes). There were things that I could have lived with out, that didn't seem to be needed in the book in the long run, and there were some loose ties that left a bad taste in my mouth. But that was a minute part of the book compaired to all the good stuff in it. Give it a try, you might be pleasently suprised, I was.

Summary: A wonderful read, that you jsut can't put down.
Review: This is a beautiful romance set in the early 1300's. Drummond, a great chieftain, was captured by Edward (I) of England and imprisoned with animals for seven years. He felt betrayed and thought his wife unfaithful. When he is released and returns to his home, he finds his wife is different than he remembered. The story captures beautifully their attempts to learn to know each other and finally to love each other.

While child characters in romances are often thrown in as an apparent afterthought to say something cute every now and then, Alisdair is a wonderfully developed child character.

Summary: A Waste of Time
Review: This is an author who sets up a great storyline and fails miserably because the writing is so tedious and repetitive. The denouement finally comes in the last pages and she rushes it in a few paragraphs. It is a labor to read because of the dull writing and lack of imagination. Many issues are totally unbelievable. For example we are expected to believe that a woman running a castle in her 20s does not understand the loss of virginity! Lamb adds an elephabt to the story who adds nothing to the storyline. She creates characters that are mentioned a lot and then have no real role in the storyline. Time is precious. Spend yours reading something else.

Summary: Wonderful Love Sory
Review: This was a superb love story. Johanna was a marvel. I loved her spunk and her love of life. Drummond proved to be a good man. I wanted to have doubts about him but I guess 7 years in prison changes a person. They proved to be wonderful together and made a good family life for Alasdair. I can't wait to read Maiden about Johanna's sister, Meridene.
