Product Description
Dear Reader,
My new story begins on a terror-filled night when two babies--identical twin girls of noble birth--are separated. One grows to womanhood as the frail, manipulative ward of the handsome young earl of Harcourt. The other becomes an enchanting, street-smart urchin who earns her way as a traveling player on the streets of England and France.
The two girls' paths might never again have crossed if Harcourt hadn't run into Miranda in the midst of an exuberant performance. The resemblance to his ward is unmistakable--uncanny, in fact...and an ambitious plot begins to take shape in Harcourt's mind.
His ward, Maude, will commit herself to a convent rather than marry the love-struck king of France, who will soon be traveling to London to claim her. What if Miranda were to take Maude's place? Harcourt is confident that with the right training, the right clothes, and the right attitude, the lithe, carefree Miranda will captivate society--and the king.
So begins Harcourt's breathtaking scheme to turn an ugly duckling into a gorgeous swan. But if he succeeds too well, Miranda may become something irresistible--even to Harcourt....
It's a delicious dilemma and a dangerous deception...and the twists and turns surprised even me.
Warmest wishes,
Jane Feather

This series,,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Emerald Swan (Mass Market Paperback)
Jane Feathers' The Emerald Swan, gives just cause why stories should not come in sets of 2, 3, for more books as a rule. They lose their luster! The first books in this series was enjoyable but it lost it for me after that. The last books were boring and predictable. What's with all the romance novels being sold into so many books on the same story line anyway? I hate that. When I read a story and buy a book I want an ending and I want it to end with each book, thank you very much! I will not be reading any more romance type series books ever again. Yes, I am that annoyed!

Third in Charm Bracelet Trilogy,
By Stacy Wallace (Lumberton, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Emerald Swan (Mass Market Paperback)
This was a wonderfully well-written love story. Miranda was a delight. And I just loved her little monkey, Chip. And she brought so much to Maude. I just knew Maude had to be made of sterner stuff than she protrayed at first. Now the story could have done without Gareth's sister. She was a horrible wretch. I think Ms. Feather could have invented a better character for his sister. Out of the series I must say this was by far the best one. Highly recommed!

DELIGHTFULLY ADORABLE,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Emerald Swan (Mass Market Paperback)
This is my favorite and the best of the Charm Bracelet series. The twin Miranda is so clever and talented and possitively adorable. She is so different from her twin Maude who is withdrawn and silent....until. This was a very entertaining delightful story and I loved it. A keeper and definitely recommended reading, even if you don't read the other 2 books in the series. They are not sequels and I couldn't even understand the connection of the charms on the bracelet to each person. How did the ancient Swan end up in France so many years later?? How did the other charms end up in the hands of those involved?? Guess I missed something important somewhere.
