"Wonderfully written, the book gives the reader a peek into how the depression affected families. It has an endearing and funny quality that makes you fall in love with the main characters."

Born of the Sun
Born of the Sun
Author: Joan Wolf
Book Type: Paperback
Genie T. (answerquest) wrote on 11/8/2009...


"Born of the Sun takes place during one of my favorite British historical periods - the 6th century - and involves the struggles of a tribal people to come together as one. Romance is at its center. Joan Wolf, after all, is the author. But it does not take precedence over the historical story. (I wouldn't have liked the book as much if it did.) As a romance, it has the anticipated happy ending. But the story isn't without tragedy. If it were, it would not have been realistic for the times.

I enjoyed it and I plan on reading the other 2 in the series. These are The Road to Avalon (#1) and The Edge of Light (#3). They can be read in any order.

"Good book, very quick and easy read. I loved the ending. I would probably read it again if I was looking for something quick and entertaining."

Avalon

"Based on historical fact, this fictional account of the early interactions of the Vikings and Britain along with the settling of Greenland and North America allowed me to put a "face" to that part of history that had been so elusive. "

"LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I identified with the main character and found myself rooting for her the whole time. I thought it was funny and sweet. I also liked the other characters in the book. I thought the story was interesting pretty much the whole way through. "

"Cute book. I didn't like it as much as "something borrowed" or "something blue" but it was ok. I felt the story line was a little dragged out and kind of predictable but still a charming read. I enjoy this authors work and it most certainly fits in with her writings, you can tell it is one of hers. Enjoy!"

"As the last of the currently published night world books it left a bit to be desired however i was very pleased to finally have a shifter as not just one but two of the main characters."

" It was ok Not exactly what I thought."

"It is a true story. The author understands the time, place and people. It is sad, tragic and facinating story."

"The books starts off well, the plot is good, the character development is good and the author obviously made efforts to create characters you can relate to in one way or another. The problem is, just when you are thinking it's a good book, it turns to a flat, predictable, thinly-veiled motivational speech to be true to yourself but not even in a motivational way, too much like all the same drivel that is constantly rehashed and fed back to the mindless masses. Just when you are ready to give up the whole book from the nausea of it, it starts to look like the book will redeem itself but only makes it halfway there. It's such a shame, though, because cleaning up those parts would have made for a truly good, engaging (if not a lil fluffy) story without the readers having to reach for the ginger ale to get through the rest of the book.

The Blind-Date King
The Blind-Date King
Author: Jeff Kosakow
Genre: Romance
Book Type: Paperback
Arreana R. (arreana) wrote on 11/8/2009...


"Interesting story taken from a man's perspective on romance (as well as his sexual inclinations). It is uncommon to see such honesty laid out for everyone to review. Although Jeff would deny it, it is a rather clear description of yet another facet of his persona. Perhaps for only the second time, I have been able to peer through a door slightly ajar and witness the baring of a soul. What's in our soul is not always what we wish people to see, but it is certainly the most honest description of who we are."

"It was great to get a glimpse of Edward's "other life".

Arreana R. (arreana) wrote on 11/8/2009...


"The book itself was too short to really dig into the characterizations and I found that, while the lead character was fully defined and described, other characters weren't given the same depth. Knowing the author, I found it an amazingly accurate perspective of the way he believes people view him. It was enlightening and touched my heart in ways that I am unable to clearly articulate.

The story was good and interesting. It portrayed a side of humanity only rarely glimpsed so clearly. I only wish he'd dug deeper and made it a larger window into a unique world we are not often invited to see."

"This was my first Cheyenne McCray erotica and book. I thought it was overall, absolutely fantastic. I did think the heroine was sometimes a bit too submissive, and would have liked to see her bitch out the King every now and again, just to make things even more spicy, but in some ways, i think she was written like that because the saucy, bitchy side was inherited by her twin rather than her. I loved how the heroine was a "plus-size" girl, and that she got the High King of Tarok, rather just one of his kingly brothers. It was a very good read and I highly recommend anyone who loves the idea of BDSM! It's a keeper!"
