Swans Book Review

I decided to read all the Julie Garwood books that I have one after the other. I just randomly choose one from my collection and read it, and I am having so much fun.  The secret is is my latest find and I enjoyed it immensely. Growing up with nothing but lies and deceit made Judith Hampton vow never to return to her cripple, abusive uncle and her cold, unfeeling mother when she returns from the Highlands from helping deliver her best friends' baby. Ian Maclean has recently become Laird and already had to go up against the elders in order to help his brother fulfill a promise he made to his wife. His promise was to allow an English woman to stay with them for the remainder of his wife's pregnancy. Since Patrick (Ian's brother) could not make the journey due to his wife being close to her delivery date, Ian took on the task of escorting the English woman to his home, even if it is by force. When Ian arrived in England his first impression of Judith was that she wa...

Complete is the second and last book of Lindy Zart book "Incomplete" starring Greyson Lee and his best friend Lilly.  Except for this time we are reading from Lilly's point of view. When we last saw these two love birds, Lilly made the ultimate sacrifice so that Greyson can achieve his dream and she told him "I'll wait forever for you Greyson" and I believed her. I was so excited when I started to read Complete, thinking that it would have less angst than in the first book, but boy was I mistaken. Lilly have given up, all the spunk and fearlessness she once possess in the first book completely disappeared in this one and she has also lost my respect. I has been two years since Lilly split with Greyson and still she would not pick up the phone and call him, thinking to herself that he was over her, since he was dating multiply women, totally disregarding that he has a tattoo of a Lilly over his heart and her name tattooed on his knuckles. Lilly j...

Do you know how it feels, that a boy, have you as the center of is world and to take all his love and feelings and throw it back in his face! I'm getting ahead of myself.  Greyson Lee is a troubled soul with an abusive family relationship.  Not the type of abuse that leaves physical wounds, the kind that hurts the mind and heart, making you think negative thoughts about yourself. Greyson thinks that something is wrong with him.  That if he was not alive the whole world would be a better place; that is why even though he is in love with his next door neighbor and best friend, Lily, he thinks that he is not good enough for her. Lily was the one that forced him to open up, Lily was the one that really saw him, Lily was the only one that allowed him to be himself and Greyson fell in love with her, before he even understood what love was. He lets out his love for her through the songs he writes and sings out his emotion for her when she is not around, telling him...

I got this book at a book swap and I reluctantly picked it up to read it, thinking that I would not enjoy the book.  Boy was I wrong, I have to stop passing judgement on books before I read them, otherwise I would miss out on a lot of good books. What would you do if a letter came to you telling you that the man who raised you is about to lose his land and a good friend of yours is going to hang for a crime he did not commit?........oh and it's also your wedding day! If your answer is get married well I'm sorry but you would be wrong.  Hot Mckettrick choose his "adopted family" and rode of to Texas on his horse to save the people he loves. Lorelei Fellows is the daughter of a tyrant of a judge who as a statement burned her wedding dress in the town square after finding her soon to be husband in bed with a house maid, and on there wedding day no less. After watching the dress burn a few minutes, Lorelei turned to walk away when large hands grab her and she i...

I got this book in a second hand store for ten dollars and I thought that this book would have been alright, but not to good.  The book is battered and has that old book smell and it took me a while to actually pick up the book and read it and I'm glad I did because I have read this book five times and I am going for my sixth. Chelsea Bellamy is sent into further disarray when she receives a ransom note for five hundred pounds for the release of her brother.  After losing her father and her mother, Robert, her brother, is the only family she has left. He the daughter of a squire and Robert taking the last of their coin to join the regiment, Chelsea has no money left, much less five hundred pounds. In desperate need of the money, Chelsea decided to ask a neighbor of her's for the money but his terms for the repayment was much to high and vulgar to her and she refused his help, as she very well should have, sick pervert. Still in need of the money Chelsea decided to tur...

Okay guys, if you read my last post it was also about Julie Garwood and I am sad to say that I was left wanting, and not in a good way.  This book was better, much better and I advice all of you to read it, buy read it and add it to your library; you will not regret it. A dozen robberies have been made over a two year period and not a clue as to who did them or how.  They were dubbed the name "The Backwater Gang" due to the name of the first town they hit, but things took a turn for the worse when they got a taste for killing. Now every bank they hit, they leave no one alive.  This was not good news for the two Marshalls that were assigned to the case, Cole Clayborne and Daniel Ryan.  One of them have a very personal reason for finding the gang and the other was forced into it. When the gang robbed another bank, they thought that they killed everyone in sight, but there was someone hiding and the marshall's finally have the witness that they needed when they...

First off I have to say that this cover was not done good at all, OMG, this is such a poor Photoshop work and it irritates me so bad, I want to jump on my computer and redo it or sweep under the rug and forget that it ever existed. I only bought this book because of it's author. Caroline Richmond after being away from her father for over fourteen years is finally able to go back home, but she has second thoughts about going backing, thinking that it is hard for her to back to a father who she thought had abandoned her all those years ago. On her arrival to England, she saved a man from robbers by shooting them and that is where she met Jered Marcus Benton, the Duke of Bradford.  The only man that can make her forget herself and make her not feel in control; and with someone out to get her due to revenge, he is the only man she can thrust.  Jered Marcus Benton, after a scaring experience in his life, vow never to get smitten with another woman ever again, but that vow ...

This i s another re-read for me, my copy is a little water damaged but still legible. This is a story about two souls that were connected by fire, one in the path of destruction and the other in the path of righteousness. Reena Hale was only eleven years old when the restaurant that her mother and father owned was caught on fire.  Being the one to see the fire she was also able to save three lives in the process.  Reena's family bonded even more that night when another family was torn apart. The Pastorelli's life was destroyed that night when he got it in his head to burn down Reena's family restaurant. This was due to an altercation that took place between Reena's father and Mr. Pastorelli after is son, Joey, attacked Reena at school.  After the fire Reena and Joey's life was never the same again. Years later, after having fire claim people that she loves, Reena has learned to close herself off and learned not to let anybody get close.  She fears that ...

Looking through my book collection, I found this way in the back and I realized that this was one of my first books that I received from my mother.  I immediately began to read it again yesterday and today I am finished, yes the book was just that good. Imagine being a princess, I know, many women when they were girls imagined that they were, but Alesandra is no fairy tale princess, she is a real princess from the home country of her father but the author did not happen to name the name of the country that she was from, or maybe I just missed it. Alesandra, having been orphaned at a young age and having to live in a convent, has thought her how to be humble and to not take anything for granted.  However her life was put in an uproar when she was ordered to return to her fathers homeland when a turmoil began in the land. Wanting to escape her deary future she must quickly marry, as woman have too apparently, and she only has three weeks to do so.  So leaving the c...
