I had plans to read this for Romance Book Bingo 2017, but I already read a book for Man in the Kilt, so this book is just something that I read for my own enjoyment.As a long time Julie Garwood fan, I have to say the saddest day for me was when she stopped writing her historical books. I have tried ...

3.5 helms Please follow me on my blog :) Review originally posted on Vellum Voyages I haven't read a historical by Garwood in ages & I was really surprised by "The Secret"! It made me realize just how far the historical romance genre has come in the last twenty-four years. We are spoilt for cho...

I enjoyed this book A LOT! This is not a big surprise because everything Julie Garwood writes is amazing.I'm giving this "only" four stars because of the romance. I couldn't really feel the chemistry between Judith and Iain. I can't really put my finger on it, but something was missing.Other that th...

We live in such a modern world with e-readers and self-publishing almost being the norm. I’ve been reading for so long, over 45 years. Yep, I’m ancient. When I began reading, some of the books being published would be very politically incorrect by today’s standards. Those early writers paved the...

You know that a book is good when you forget to eat your dinner; forget to feed the cat (but remember before yo...

The Secret had been on my TBR list for a long time and I was craving some good ol' historical romance, so I downloaded it blind (no sample) and gave it a try. I can see what drew readers to this story. it's simple and sweet with a writing style that was easy to follow. I thought that it lacked the...

I really loved this book. The writing style, the story, the characters. All of it. There were no drawn out misunderstandings. No dramatic, over-written, evil character to constantly show up and interfere with our couple. It was so refreshing to read this after all of the historical romances I've rea...
