Search - Castles in the Air (My First, Bk 2)

I bought this book after reading quite a few reviews on it and although it wasn't quite what I expected (I thought his charade as the "master castle-builder" would have been carried out a bit longer) - it was a pretty good story. There were several scenes that made me laugh and one or two that brought tears to my eyes. It made for a very believeable story and I really liked how well the secondary characters were portrayed. I wouldn't say the story was boring in the least and it would make a good read for many a romance lover.

You have to love a book that starts out with "England, 1166 - She had all her teeth". I loved this book!

I thought that this story started out a little slow (and almost exactly like another romance I tried to recently read), but luckily it picked up after a couple of chapters and I couldn't put it down. Granted, at times, there are characters who are so obvious in their attentions that you almost feel that the lead characters deserve what happens for being so blind, but overall it still makes for a good book.

Even though this is part of a series, it can be read alone since the characters are completely different than the first story. I'm not even sure why it is part of a series, other than, perhaps to get a reader to get it if they've read the first book.

I loved this book!!

I rather liked the beginning of this book and its premise. Medium-good Cristina Dodd.
