Just Wonderful,
By Veronica (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Honor's Splendour (Mass Market Paperback)
Honor's Splendour is an incredibly romantic and beautiful book. The characters are great, the plot is strong with lots of twists and the love between the two leads is as genuine as it gets.The characters are really good and well developed. Duncan is the tall, masculine warrior with an arrogant streak as wide as his shoulders. Madelyne is a woman who has been mistreated in the past by her brother but remains strong and kind. The growing love between Duncan and Madelyne is really passionate, tender and romantic. There are no pathetic 'big misunderstandings', no ludicrous plot twists, or stereotypical characters. The beginning is one of the best in romantic fiction that I have ever read because Madelyne and Duncan meet on the forth page (I hate having to read about a third of the book before the hero and heroine are introduced) in a strong and memorable opening scene. Madelyne does something utterly selfless and sweet which endears you to her for the rest of the book and Duncan ends the second chapter with one of those 'you belong to me' phrases which would scare me half to death in real life but within the pages of a historical romance make me tingle inside and smile. Near the end of the book there is a short period where Duncan and Madelyne are separated because she has to go to court for a while why he is away but this only lasts about 20 pages which is nothing out of 374 page paperback. When they are reunited there is an unforgettable scene where Duncan shows Madelyne how much he loves her in a sweet, caring way. Oh, I could go on and on about the best bits - little snatches of witty dialogue, places where Duncan loses his cool over Madelyne and says lovely things such as "You come before everyone and everything else" and so on! Overall Honor's Splendour is well worth the money and I often reread it when I need a little boost. Duncan is a wonderfully protective hero who would do anything for Madelyne and she is an endearing woman who has remained charming despite being cruelly treated. I enjoyed the fact that Duncan was the first to say 'I love you' about three quarters of the way through which was a refreshing change and gave a chance for their love to bloom and flourish throughout the rest of the chapters. Enjoy! JoAnne

Simply Splendid!,
By "yinli_tang" (KL, Malaysia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Honor's Splendour (Mass Market Paperback)
I've read all of Julie Garwood's books, and although I like all of them, I can honestly say that I don't remember most of them. None of the other hero/heroines nor plots stood out very much for me. However, I think Honour's Splendor is simply brilliant- it's the only one of Garwood's books that I've read over and over, and each time with as much pleasure. In terms of character development, Madelyne and Duncan are great protagonists. The story was made all the better with Edmund, Adela and Gilard - it really showed the Wextons as a warm and caring family, perfect for Madelyne as her own family (excluding Father Berton) were the antagonists. The only gripe I had about the entire book was Garwood's rather limited use of verbs whenever it came to the characters' dialogue with each other. To roughly put it, I think on one page alone Louddon rushed over and screamed at somebody, then Clarissa rushed over and screamed too, then Louddon rushed over and screamed some more. Just a minor observation, and it doesn't take anything away from the otherwise perfect book. A definite must read!

Total Escapism,
By Joanna (Toronto, ON) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Honor's Splendour (Mass Market Paperback)
Apparently Kurt Vonnegut had once said that reading is like meditation... well, this book certainly is in that it transports one to another place. Highly recommended for reducing one's stress levels :)!!!!
