"The Prize" takes place during William the Conqueror's time. We have the Saxon and Normans at each others throats. When Lady Nicholaa is captured by Royce Melborn, she finally is forced to pick a husband out of the Normans. She ends up choosing Royce and from there, these two have what I consider on...
Oh how I loved Julie Garwood when I was 15. But she had a few books which feature heroines that I have always wanted to strangle. Nicholaa is one of them. First of all, why the double As in the name?? But I digress. I must admit that I was underwhelmed by this book. The story was ok but with Nichola...
This classic Julie Garwood medieval romance is set in the time of the Saxon and Norman skirmishes. One thing that slays me is the mindset of the invaders...they'd come to a castle keep, lay it under siege, kill as many men as possible, and basically just overtake the place...and then they would gra...
This book is such a go-to feel-good read for me; no matter how times I've read it over the years, I still laugh in the same places.

I've been a Julie Garwood fan from the Beginning. Now I have a Nook and am building my library. I'm slowly making my way through her books again. This one is a keeper - just like most of the others. I love the male lead with strength, intelligence, humor and patience. Royce has all this in spades! N...
Many years ago when I was young enough to think that writing needed to be obtuse and tortured in order to be good and looked down my nose at "romances" a co-worker at the book store told me I should read Julie Garwood. I told her I don't read romances, they are all rapey and awful (in my defense ma...
