The Captiva Heart returns the reader to Scotland. This time our heroine is Alix
Givet. When Henry VI goes into exile, Ali
and her father join them. The Givet's are left with a Northumbrian Baron Udolf of Wulfborn Hall. Alix marries Udolf's son as a condition for her father to be taken care of. Alix is not loved by her husband, she is despised. When her husband kills himself, Udolf decides to take her for himself. She escapes to the moors of Scotland, where she finds a family and love with Malcolm Scott. However, Udolf won't let her go and Scott has some secrets of his own. Small's writing hooks you in early and keeps you there until the final page.

In A Dangerous Love, Bertrice Small takes us to England during the War of the Roses. Adair Radcliffe's parents are killed during the Civil War. She is brought up at the English Court. When she is betrothed by the King to a son of a Lancastrian lord, she runs back to her home. Adair starts to rebuild her home and her life. During a border raid, she is taken as hostage by Scottish raiders and sold into servitude. This is where Small starts to weave her magic. Adair and the border lord Conal Bruce start to fall in love and sparks fly. Small does not let the reader down in describing the romantic encounters. This is Book 1 of the The Border Chronicles. The first two books are tied by the Conal Bruce family, but they can each stand alone.

Nancy Moser is indeed a very talented writer. In her novel "How Do I Love Three, she recounts the real romance story of Elizabeth Barrett Barrett and Robert Browning. Hollywood could not come up with a better romantic script. Moser's writing is taken from the perspective of Elizabeth, known as Ba, to her family and friends. She starts the story when Elizabeth is living in Torquay for her health. This gives the reader much needed background of her life. I knew of the Barrett-Browning story before I read the book, but that didn't lessen my enjoyment. A great retelling of the story!

This book was not what I hoped it would be. I was hoping for the stories people told of their past lives. Instead, what the book explains is the theory of reincarnation, with a few anecdotes to proof his point. I found the author extremely insightful in the differing views of reincarnation. His explanations were lucid and easy to understand. I would have liked more of the people's stories.
