Rating:  Summary: Bad story, bad characters, bad transition Review: This was the most difficult book to finish due to its past/present jumps. The transitions were too quick and I was confused by what happened in the past and what was going on in the present.

Rating:  Summary: In honor of, Honoria.... Review: While traveling on a ship with her fiance, Derrick, Honoria becomes a captive of another "captive", Diego. She has bartered her innocence for the release of Derrick, and her maid. Years later, James (Diego) returns to England to right the wrong done Honoria, by offering marriage. He also has a hidden motive. The best part of this book, for me, was Honoria herself. She is such an entertaining heroine. Reading the conversations she has with herself, as she battles her attraction to James, made this a worthy read. Plot, secondary characters, as well as James, made this a "keeper" for me. The romance itself, is told mostly in flashbacks. Sexual tension is created this way. It's not done in an usual "will they, or won't they" scenario. The romance builds, along with the story, through the flashbacks. Sometimes a method like this can be confusing to the reader. For me, it added suspense, as well as sexual tension, to create a page-turning read. There are many secondary characters--Derrick, the fathers, servants, and villians. All add to the plot and, the romance. I found this book a special read; and Honoria has become one of my favorite heroines.

Rating:  Summary: Thank you, thank you, thank you..... Review: While waiting for my favorite authors to write their next books I pick up authors I haven't read before. After three months of waiting for something decent to read I finally found it. This book held my interest to the end. The storyline was quite good and I liked the way the author told James and Honoria's past. The author gave Honoria a strong personality and she carried it well through the book - she said what was on her mind and after what she had been through 8 years ago she had every right to behave as she did. Ms. Sizemore did a nice job with this book and I thank her for bringing me out of my slump of bad authors.
