Customer Reviews

Beautifully well written Historical Romance

Not to totally disagree with Romance Junkie but this was my first book that I ever read by Susan Wiggs and it was this book that really touch me deeply and made me start buying all of her books left and right. You already know the story line because everyone's done a good job of decribing it in detail. Some people marry for other things rather then love and later fall in love, but yes you can't tell what Juliana's feelings for Stephen are because she doesn't know it yet herself so how could she even let her feelings be known? I thought that this book was fantanstic because you can see that Stephen and Juliana's love is growing through out the entire book and I think these kind of marriages are always the ones that have something much deeper then love. So give this book a shot, you might just find that there's more to this book then meets the eye.

A REVIEW!!!

I love historical romances (mainly for the historical part) and this one satisfied me greatly. I am a slow reader, but I was half way through it in 3 days. (I don't get a lot of time to read -_- ). She is NOT one of those authors who spends 3 freakin pages describing a room. " oh the sunlight shone through the window like golden leaves....." WHATEVER! She gets right to the point, and the story moves fast ( not TOO fast, but at a good pace). I thoroughly enjoyed it! <3

Couldn't put it down!

This is a wonderful story full of action, lust, love, it has it all! The herione is strong, beautiful and full of surprises, the hero is sexy, lonely and has a sad past to overcome, together they find love and a future. This was my favorite S.W. so far, I'm sure I will say that after reading all of her books, she is a very talented Author. I'm now off to read Oliver's story, Vows made in Wine. If you can find this book, its worth the money!

A Wonderful Love Story.

A gypsy girl from Russia and a baron come together in a strong love story, but her past comes back to haunt her. This book is a must read and sure to get the best of everyone.
