Priceless

Rating:
Summary: A real gem
Review: I had never read a Mandalyn Kaye book before, but this book convinced me I will read one again. It didn't come off as being formulaic. There was nice wit and intelligence in the characters. It's a keeper.

Summary: There's nothing wrong with this book, it was just - average
Review: If you want a light read to fill up your time, then Priceless is perfect for you. The plot was good (if not a bit predictable) and the characters had a bit of depth to them...not just cardboard cutouts. Liberty and Elliot engage in some great sparring matches which should bring a smile to your lips. I found that Liberty had an uncanny ability to read our hero's moods and thoughts, and tended to read too much into things (though all for the good of their relationship - unlike the typical misunderstanding storyline). I suppose I am just disappointed because I like longer stories with more detail (ie. Ms. Kaye talks briefly about the Crystal Palace, but unless you are a history buff, you wouldn't understand the reference and how it was like the World Fair's of today. At the time it was a first in many things architectually, scientifically, artistically, etc...)

Halfway between a 'serial' and a full legnth historical, I think Priceless would have been better served if the publisher didn't use such big margins and spacing between the lines, and cut this book to where it should be... 250 pages.

Summary: Felt fresh and engaging
Review: This book impressed me because the plot seemed unforced and fresh even though it travelled through standard romance novel situations. I hope this author writes more books - I read a lot of romance novels and *really* like only about 10% of them. This is one of the books I read twice because I liked it so much.
