5.0 out of 5 stars Always is a MUST!!, Oct 20 2002

This review is from: Always (Leisure historical romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

Lynsay's newest book proves she is a writer to watch. She broke into the romance world with a bang with The Deed, and has proven with such great books as The Switch, Lady Pirate and The Key that she can do it again and again. Her style is fluid, her voice so natural, and there is no one else like her around. Her books are warm, intelligent and with a ton of humour. When I am reading anything by Lynsay, I am always smiling or laughing out loud!! So many times when someone tries the light touch with historical, their heroine comes out like an idiot. Lynsay deftly walks that fine line between jest and joke, with intelligent resourceful characters that often do silly things - but for good reasons!! Most especially, her books are never contrived.

In Always, her Rosamunde is a gently raised fartherless daughter of King Henry, and just before his death he arranges a marriage for her to Alric. He is coming off a bad engagement and has little trust for women, but sees no choice in the forced marriage. While Rosamunde is not totally against the idea of a husband, she brings a vast lacking in knowledge to the marriage bed due to the concepts instilled in her by the nuns . Rosemunde is an adorable, charming, witty character and one you will long remember. I read a lot, so often books tend to blur together. Years from now I will think of Rosamunde and remember her well!!

Pick up Lynsay Sands and you are guaranteed a good time!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Actually..3 1/2 stars......., Sep 19 2002

This review is from: Always (Leisure historical romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

"Always" definitely had it's moments...and I cant deny that some of it was outrageously amusing...I think the thing that bothered me most was how bossy Aric was...not to mention how Wimpy Rosamunde was made out to be....This book was fun, but dragged...I wouldnt dissuade one from reading it, but I wouldnt recommend it either.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another winner!
You've gotta love the lengths to which Rosamunde will go to not "disobey" her new husband. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!
This is my favorite book from Sands. Rosamunde was endearing and sweet and the dialogue was to die for. Read more
