Briggs is super, and her story here does not dissapoint. The other 3, however, were barely disguised fantasy porn. 2% plot, 98% soft core sex scenes. Meh. Not really my thing.

.Angel's Pain
City Travel Guides > Books > Romance
by: Maggie Shayne

October 01, 2008
I fell in love with Reaper and his gang of misfits, it was heart breaking when it came to an end.
Don't expect to find Angel anywhere in this story, my best guess is that Angel was Briar; her pain is what lead Reaper to her. It was great seeing her breaking through her shell of evil to a caring vengeful vamp. My only complain is that I want more.

It was obvious to me, having grown up in North Dakota, that the author did not know much about North Dakota.

by: Lara Santiago

July 23, 2008

.Seize the Night (Dark-Hunter, Book 7)
City Travel Guides > Books > Romance
by: Sherrilyn Kenyon

December 28, 2004
I must preface by saying that this is the firs of Ms. Kenyon's works I've read; I picked up a free copy at a convention for kicks, and it turned out to be just about what I expected: the literary equivalent of a Twinkie with sprinkles; good fun, but not much quality.

The characters and plot are predictable, even for someone who's not read any of her other works--will the fiery redhead manage to melt the icy, wounded heart of the uptight nobleman and introduce him to his wild side (or at least hers)? Will he struggle with great confustion over his attraction to her? Will her family hating him cause friction, but eventually be resolved so they can be together? Anyone familiar with books and stock plots in general and a high school education could have written ... Read More:

.The Forbidden (The Courtship of Nellie Fisher, Book 2)
City Travel Guides > Books > Romance
by: Beverly Lewis

May 01, 2008
Nellie and Caleb are madly in love, yet the obstacles are too large for them to see a way to be together. The Old Order Amish is beginning to splinter in several directions, separating lovers, families and friends. Nellie's personal family is going many directions after the untimely death of one of her sisters after she had changed religions. There is an interesting "adoption" of twins that turns out differently than expected. There were several interesting interactions between Amish families, but for the most part, the book was very, very slow to come alive, and I certainly hope book three in this series is more active, and interesting much faster than this one was. This was not one of Beverly's better books.

.Rebecca
City Travel Guides > Books > Romance
by: Daphne Du Maurier

November 01, 1997
It's been called a mystery, a romance, a Gothic novel, been labeled the best novel of the century, criticized as intensely boring and slow, praised as a real page turner. To some degree it all seems correct, all of those elements being presented by Dame du Maurier in her famous novel.

But I say that the only thing that kept me going through the first half of Rebecca was that famous opening line: Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again. Simply wondering why she was no longer at Manderley, what drove and kept her away, was enough motivation to get through some very, very slow and tedious narrative.

I'm all for good descriptions of settings and character development, and in this book the estate Manderley is both of those, the setting and a crucial character. But in literature ... Read More:
