Maggy's Child

Rating:
Summary: Entertaining but...
Review: ... highly predictable, to say the least. The story may sound familiar: damsel in distress, too good to be true good guy, psychotic bad guy. Guess how it ends! Need I say any more?

Summary: Stupid Silly Characters
Review: Again, Karen Robards has disappointed me. I used to be a fan but after the terrible "Senator's Wife" and now this, I'm going to avoid her. This book is so aggravating. I really can't muster sympathy for a woman who lets herself get physically tortured by a monster. She's a mother who should have been far more responsible. She's also a wimp when it comes to Nick, who just barges into her life and orders her around, almost like Lyle. And what was the deal about Nick blackmailing her with photographs from her past? You'd fall in love with a blackmailer? And Nick's character is a bland formless male being with no personality or charm. No, I'm sorry but again, Karen Robards has greated a romance story with truly odious lead characters.

Summary: This is a GREAT romance/suspense book.
Review: Do you like romance and suspense, all rolled into one? If you do, then this is the book for you. It is about a mother who runs into her old boyfriend (who also happens to be her sons father, although he doesn't know). Her husband has spent most of their married life abusing her, and poisining her sons mind against her. Then in walks the old boyfriend and sparks fly. That is where the suspense comes in and where I take off. It is a wonderful read!

Summary: Maggie's Child
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book! If you love to desire love and excitement, this book is for you! Karen did a fabulous job of engaging the reader into the intricacy of the relationships and adventures that take place in Maggie's Child. This book was difficult to put down because you simply need to know what's going to happen next, epecially between Maggie and Nick. Karen's vocabulary and descriptions are rich and colorful, which makes the plots and characters come to life. I passed this book onto my mother, who NEVER reads, and she read six chapters in one night and wants to buy all Karen's books. We agree that a night reading about Nick and Maggie is far better than a night watching tv. Enjoy!

Summary: Not my cup of tea
Review: I'm not sure, but I think it had something to do with Lyle's satan-like behavior that turned me off to this one. I liked the storyline, however, 'I'm pregnant and the real father doesn't find out for 15 years', but the atrocious and dreadful circumstances that Maggie endures just to protect the secret...and then finally reveals the truth in the end...is just not my idea of romance.
