Precious Passion (Zebra Splendor Historical Romances)

Summary: GOOD STORY BUT.....
Review: As in so many books I read, the theme for this story is great, with a fair mystery. A lot of the dialogue was funny as times and Aurora was outspoken with wit. Unforturnately it becomes redundant and stretched out too long. It is what I call the yo yo syndrome. In this story she is a well brought up lady who gets drunk and sleeps with a gentleman, then is so ashamed of her actions she blames him.???? All the time she insists there is no such thing as love and if so it is too temporary and maybe she will get hurt. So she decides to marry a conceited, self- centered snob, as though that wouldn't hurt her one bit???. Both hero and heroine, as always, won't tell how they feel and so the romance goes up and down and the pondering goes on and on. At least Max has more sense and is wonderful but Aurora's reasoning leaves a lot to be desired. This would have been great if Ms Doyle had cut to the chase faster.

Summary: Reading is a Precious Passion
Review: For those of us who are true romance readers, we are aware of how we anticipate the moments we can spend reading every new novel. I found while reading Precious Passion, that there wasn't a place in the book that I felt secure in stopping. My need to get to the resolution was so great that I finished the entire book in two sittings. Ms. Doyle has the true gift of writing. She takes the reader to all levels of emotion and develops the characters to be very believable. In fact, I know people just like Aurora, Max and John!

Summary: Added reader's comment
Review: I realized after submitting my original comments about this book that I neglected Ms Doyle's secondary characters which were perfect. I was so glad that, at least at the end of the book, Bryan and Betsy got together. Her dialogue between these two adorable people was the most entertaining of all. I was also curious as to Ms. Doyle's possibly being a musician. Her love of music that is from her heart and in her soul. It comes across to all her readers with the unbelievable descriptions of the music created by Aurora's genious.
