A History Nut's Romantic State of Mind
Hmm.......no.I tried, I really tried. But I can't warm up to Juliana and I don't buy their "I have always loved you" stories. What I found interesting is that I have not read a romance which has the lead characters consummate the marriage on the first night when both characters did not exactly marry...
Anna Bobs Her Hair - Silent Reader, Talking Books
Grade: C- ...Meh. I'm just not into you. A tale of a tortured hero marrying his secret childhood sweetheart. She loves him, too. This is at the beginning of the book. Where's the conflict? Elliot has moments of insanity. (He relives his captivity and torture.) Juliana is understanding and co...

This installment in Jennifer Ashley’s Highland Pleasures is a bit of a departure, as it takes the focus off the MacKenzie family and lands on one of their in-laws, the deeply tortured Elliot McBride. You may remember, Elliot is one of Ainsley’s brothers (making him Cameron’s in-law.) He was a soldie...

A solid 3. Ok, the h's tendency to well, pretty much ignore any advice anyone gave her was irritating, particularly since some of her decisions could have led to disaster. Also, her insistence on a ball 2 weeks after her wedding (in a house needing lots of repair) seems...shallow, particularly in ...

3 starsThe story was good but it lacked of romance I wanted. Oh, don't get me wrong. Romance is in the book, its just didn't up to my expectation. I must it was mild. Way mild compared to the Mackenzies. Despite that, I loved how they got married because as it happened instantly without any prolonge...

Juliana has been engaged for quite some time, even though its not to the man she truly desires. Then on her wedding day, her fiancee jilts her for his piano teacher without even informing her of his plans, with over two hundred people waiting for them in the chapel. So when she seeks a few peaceful ...

I liked this one but not as much as others in the series. For a book with Seduction in the title I found there wasn't much seducing going on. I think that was some of what was missing for me. Elliot & Juliana have known each other (and been in love) for a long time. When he steps in to marry her...

Grade: C“You were light and life. You are heat, and I’m so damn cold.”I’m not bitter about paying full price for this, and I’m definitely not giving up on the series, but Juliana was boring, Elliot wasn’t much different from every other scarred hero, and the HEA came *thatclose* to being a Magical O...
