A Love So Fine (Topaz Historical Romance)

Summary: Touching lovestory, beautifully written!
Review: Although I usually am not a romance fan, Linda Ladd has captivated me with her new book. I usually read Stephen King, Victoria Holt, etc...but, after I bought this book, I could not put it down! I stayed up half the night reading it! It was full of plot-twists, mystery, and the tension between the two main characters was masterfully done. I can't wait until Ladd's next book!

Summary: Too many unanswered questions, sub-plots
Review: Linda Ladd's newest book is a major disappointment....there are a lot of unanswered questions and confusing sub-plots...the book starts out well with suspense about Liberty's friend's death but loses momentum. The plot jumps from this to another sub-plot and you never find out who was the actual person that wanted Henrietta dead (if its the husband he is never punished for his many sins)....why did the hero get involved with him if he never had any intention of having him brought to justice...then this plot loses interest and its off to another one....sorry....for those interested in buying this book I can't recommend it.....too many inconsistences.....Liberty starts as an independent woman in America but becomes a MILKSOP in England...PASS ON THIS ONE....not one of Linda's best efforts...

Summary: A definite WINNER!
Review: This novel was a wonderful mix of romance, intrigue, and suspense! The two main characters, Julian and Libby have a fantastic chemistry and this leads to a non-stop thrilling read. I love Linda Ladd's books and this is one of her best! Her writing is top-notch, as always, and I loved the way she brought back her characters from A Love So Splendid for some great scenes late in the book! Overall, this is two thumbs up! A real satisfying, heart-warming read!
