Product Description
In a few terrifying moments, her life was changed forever.
Linnet plunged into the Kentucky wilderness, leaving behind the remnants of her life in London. But a savage Indian attack on the wagon train wiped out her fellow travelers, and left her alone in a harsh land...at the mercy of a fierce Shawnee tribe.
When a handsome young brave claimed her, in perfect English, as his own, Linnet knew she was safe. Until the jealousy of his powerful chief forced them to flee on a hazardous journey, fraught with peril and treachery...a journey that threatened both their lives, and their very special love! --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiight,
By Marissa (Salt Lake City, Utah United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sweetbriar (Mass Market Paperback)
I don't get it, really. Sometimes Jude Deveraux comes up with these amazing male characters that just take your breath away...then she comes up with characters like Devon. What redeeming quality did he have?? Sure, he saves her and he's sweet to her at first, but then she's beautiful and all of a sudden he feels the need to treat her like she's the lowest bit of scum on the bottom of the lake. PLUS he kisses that Corinne chick in front of her, when it's obvious that Linnet was repulsed by Cord when he kissed her. But of course, Jude's men always have to have their stupid revenge on the innocent woman that's in love with them.Ok, and then he leaves her after he gets what he wants (secks) from her the night in the woods?? UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. The guy made me sick. But oh well, the important thing is that Linnet ended up marrying him. Afterall, he DID sigh "Ok, I'll marry you..."

Sourbriar,
By melissa (IN, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sweetbriar (Mass Market Paperback)
Well, this book was a page turner. I had a hard time putting it down. I loved the plot so much! It was interesting, but I do have to agree with another reviewer that there wasn't a whole lot of character developement, and that was very disappointing. Why was Mac so bitter to her? What events in his life led up to that? When did Linnet ever mourn her parents? I really liked Linnet, but her love for Devon seemed totally...naive. One minute she was angry at him, the next minute they are dancing like nothing happened, everything forgotten. He took advantage of her in a major way and she went back to him without a valid explaination or heartfelt, genuinely feeling apology. I didn't like him. At all. He only claims he loves her after he finds out she had his baby and even then it's, "all right, I'll marry you." I don't believe he was angry because she was beautiful when he thought she was ugly when he rescued her. You aren't mean to someone like he was to her for a reason that...stupid. (If you read it, you will know what I mean, but I urge you no to.) Why did he leave her like he did after a night of passion? How could he still think she was after other men, even after all she did to avoid a man that every woman wants, his cousin Cord. His jealousy of Cord was annoying and took was too much control of him. He was way too angry and blind for my taste. He is my least favotire hero of all time. Sorry to give such a low review, but I know Jude can do better, especially with such a good setting and plot.

Fall in love . . .,

This review is from: Sweetbriar (Mass Market Paperback)
. . . with two characters and a town that will steal your heart. _Sweetbriar_ is the story of Linnet Tyler who leaves England for the wilds of Kentucky and during an Indian raid finds powerful love and a town full of the sweetest people ever. You'll laugh, cry, and want to hit Devon so many times that you'll have this book finished before you even realize you started it. One of Ms. Deveraux's best, the often overlooked _Sweetbriar_ is the front-runner to the 'Lady' series and by far one of my very favorites. My only complaint is that it's so short! Easily able to be finished in one sitting and well worth a second read through before you put it away! The scene near the end with the folks from Sweetbriar is priceless! A must read!
