Customer Reviews

I have loved this book from the very first time I read it!

This book is written in such a way that it takes you through every aspect of the life of the people in this story. It is so well done that you can see the world through their eyes and relive the experiences they had. The love story between “Mary” and Jason is very poignant. I read this book at least once or twice a year!

The Tigers Woman by Celeste DeBlasis

Celeste DeBlasis is a superb author. Her combination of historical facts with her characters are a must read. It is too bad that she no longer publishes and her works are not in the bookstores. You won't be able to put any of her books down until you are finished. The dealer from whom I purchased this novel sent me the book immediately. I was shocked at the quick delivery.

I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!

If this is the book I'm thinking about, it is THE S**T!!!!!!!!!! It's when this girl, i think her dad dies, or maybe that was later in the book... anyway, she goes to this "friend" of her father's... that she had met once when she was about 6-8.. something like that.. she had thought he was super HOTT!!! anyway, she goes to get him to protect her, she doesn't have anyone else to turn to... anyway, she agrees to be his mistress and everything.. i think it was the guy that set that as the terms.. something about using her to get back at her dad.. anyway she agrees and so he takes her back to his island where he lives with his son.. he's a widower... and the weird part of the book is they're in the barn and the son is spying on them... or he was already in ther or something like that, and he ends up seeing them having sex... the dad doesn't know.. the girl just happens to see the little boy ya after the deed is done.. so anyway, after a while she stops hating him after a while and they end up falling in love.. and the crazy part is that later.. after a couple of years later i mean... she runs away without telling anybody she was going!!!!!! well, i won't spoil what happens but needless to say the book was a total MUST READ for me!!!!!! I LOVE THIS BOOOK!!!!! IT ROCKS.... HARD!!!!!!!!

Amazing author

All of Celeste De'Blasis' books that I have read have been amazing. She is not a formula writer and her historical accuracy is wonderful. When I inquired from her publisher about more books, I was told she had since passed from cancer. What a loss to the historical romance genre.

Totally engrossing! Historical Romance at it's best.

Celest has been one of my favorite authors since I began the "Swan" trilogy. The Tiger's Woman is just another example of this authors ability to bring fictional characters to life. I have also read The Proud Breed, and unfortunately this is the last book written by the author I have been able to locate. I would read more, Celest, are you listening...?

A story that keeps you reading until you reach the back cove

I have read this book soooo many times the cover and pages fell apart. One of my children thought it was an old book and threw it away ! :o( I'm in search of a new one and would also be interested in any other books she may have written. The Tiger's Woman hit home for me on a very personal level and only wished there was a hero/heroine like these in my life. Thanks, Celeste
