Don't get me wrong, I liked the parts when they were together more, but I liked the way Gabriel came into his own when he was away from Sarah. I did feel terrible for him when he learned who his "master" was and what Jacques must have thought!Julie at Outlandish Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16595989966510183531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781006155885226657.post-16351398533857975912009-07-07T13:27:44.274-04:002009-07-07T13:27:44.274-04:00You are one tough cookie!

But I liked Gabriel so I didn't mind reading about him and his need to become 'someone', to find his place in a world he never had a place in. I think there were some fabulous moments between Sarah and Gabriel that I just loved! I think I overlook a lot of things in books when I like the relationship and how it's progressing.Amy Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12832983748006739171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781006155885226657.post-76542523923732555302009-07-06T23:13:04.467-04:002009-07-06T23:13:04.467-04:00ibeeeg - that's probably not a bad idea.

It really wasn't bad, mind you, but it just sort of reminded me of an old bodice ripper from the 70's, only instead of the girl that's about to be raped - it's the hero!Julie at Outlandish Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16595989966510183531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781006155885226657.post-41600830755074015372009-07-06T22:00:25.353-04:002009-07-06T22:00:25.353-04:00Thanks for the honest review.

It gives me a different insight which can be most helpful in prioritizing when or if to read the book.<br /><br />I am going to put this book onto my TBR list but will not be in a hurry to read.ibeeeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222760102843468991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781006155885226657.post-76413003223325604752009-07-06T20:35:30.484-04:002009-07-06T20:35:30.484-04:00Sorry, it's taken me all day to get back to yo...Sorry, it's taken me all day to get back to your comments. I've started working full time now and don't get home until late and have almost no chance to respond until I get home after work.<br /><br />Mandi, you might like it, I wound up buying it on Kindle, but it had been on my PBS wish list too! It had it's steamy moments, but I found the actual love scenes anti-climatic (no pun intended ;)) The build up to them was better.<br /><br />Blodeuedd - I hate to put you off, you might really like this, I did actually like it, but I just didn't think it was as good as I expected it would be. I think it would have made a fantastic book if it were a really long big book with lots of juicy details, so that the author could have really delved into a lot of background. It could have been a lot better and a real epic.<br /><br />E.H. - yes, it was a lot of rigamarole. Yes, it was epiclike. As I said to Blodeuedd, if it had been a big thick book like an Outlander it would have been better, the author could have done it justice and given her characters and plotline the room they needed to tell a really good engrossing story. Instead, this was just a lot of "stuff" packed into 400 pages. It should have been twice as long.<br /><br />MsMoonlight - I'm glad to hear you liked it, I think I'm just used to reading a lot of chunksters and couldn't help feeling this one "should" have been a bigger novel to really do the story justice. So much was crammed into 400 pages so that a lot was glossed over and open eneded. I am eager for her next one though about a Scottish highlander.Julie at Outlandish Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16595989966510183531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781006155885226657.post-66283428596886654732009-07-06T10:39:13.400-04:002009-07-06T10:39:13.400-04:00Great review!

I don't like it in books when everything always goes just as planned and when the hero withholds stuff from the heroine. And not overly steamy?? ;)Mandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05164981880837468084noreply@blogger.com
