Moonlight Mistress

Rating:
Summary: Excellent!
Review: I just finished reading this book. I was surprised at the negative reviews. The story line kept me reading. It kept me wanting to know what happened next and the results. This story was written with the realities of the times, ie, the way women were treated and used. The reality that things are not always nice like the rape and the evil, etc. The sex, even when it was rough, was good for them and that's what counts. I cared about Phillippe and Aelvina, I liked them, she was strong and he was stronger, I rooted for them. Their lives were not easy. This is the reality of those times. This was not a completely tender love story (but it became one towards the end). It wasn't all nice nice. It was a MATURE story with a love that evolves and is very moving. This is one of Ms. Rice's earlier books and is better than two of her later ones that I have read. If you are mature and want to read a very well written and mature love story, read this book.

Summary: Another dumb blonde!!
Review: The main character, Aelvina, was a very stupid woman. I never read a book with a character who did the complete opposite of everything that was asked of her. She put herself and everyone else in constant troubled and dangerous situations. I would have ended this story with her being beheaded for disobeying the king's orders. So much for happy endings. I truly couldn't believe Patricia Rice wrote such a bad novel until I noticed this was one of her first books. Pass this one by. It's too long and boring.

Summary: Not worth reading
Review: This book was very sour. I did not like the way it was written at all. I did not have the heart to finish it. It did not grasp my attention nor did I find it to be worth my time. The author spent too much time on the sexual aspect of the story and forgot all about the charms usually found in romance books. I would not recommand this book to anyone.
