Summary: Ingeniously combines contemporary with historical romance
Review: Reviewed by Kristie Leigh Maguire,MyShelf.com

The American movie star, Tracie Collins, travels to England to begin shooting her new movie. The setting for the movie is the majestic estate of Silverbridge. The last thing that Tracie had on her mind when she went to England was falling in love. But from the moment she met Harry Oliver, the Earl of Silverbridge, the feeling of déjà vu was too overpowering to ignore. Lord Silverbridge had no intentions in becoming involved with anyone - especially an American movie star. What, then, was this strange and intense attraction he felt towards Tracie?

The developing love story between Tracy and Harry in itself is enough to keep one's eyes glued to the book. However, Joan Wolf goes one step further in this novel - she not only throws in a fascinating mystery but also the love story of a long ago English governess, Isabel, and the former Earl of Silverbridge, Charles Oliver, as ghosts from the past. Tracie Collins is the bridge between the past and the present.

Joan Wolf ingeniously combines contemporary romance with historical romance in SILVERBRIDGE. The combination of the love story from the present and the love story from the past makes for a very intriguing read...

Summary: Very enjoyable read
Review: Silverbridge was a quick and pleasant read with engaging characters. As a long time reader of all her works I did find the plot a little predictable but her familiarity with the regency genre showed when she was describing the Silverbridge manor house and the costumes for the period. The twist with the ghosts was very well done and gave the story that little something extra. .

I enjoyed this book very much and highly recommend it.

Summary: Not her best
Review: This one is OK. That being said the reason I wasn't crazy about this one is that this story has been written before, by other authors, and no I don't remember who at this exact moment, but the plot is predictable, the characters standard, and it's not much of a mystery. It's not one of those books you can't put down, more like-I guess I have to finish this so I can pass it on.
