Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

The author of After Innocence creates a smoldering, if uneven, novel with all the pomp, pageantry and quite a few of the personages of the Elizabethan era. Heading home to Ireland from the Norman convent where she has spent six years, Katherine FitzGerald is abducted on the high seas by notorious pirate Liam O'Neill, bastard son of a barbaric clan chieftain. From her kidnapper Katherine learns that her father is languishing in London under house arrest, deposed by his cousin FitzMaurice. If the pirate's report is true, Katherine's fortune and any hopes for a fitting marriage are lost, leaving her the pirate's prize. Given the stakes, she demands proof of the story in exchange for her pliancy. The pair's covert journey to London is interrupted when they are captured and brought before a furious Queen Elizabeth. Lord Leicester and William Cecil urge the queen to keep Katherine under close watch as a Lady in Waiting?an uncomfortable situation as the vain and petulant queen brooks no rivals for her favorites' affections, especially Liam's. If Joyce abuses the game motif (in part no doubt to push a Game contest aimed at retailers and distributors), this is nonetheless a lusty narrative that will appeal to her fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Brenda's Best !, April 15 2003
By A Customer
The Game is one of the first Brenda Joyce books that I picked up and read several years ago. I have read numerous romance novels by numerous authors and let it be said that 'The Game' is by far one of the best she has written and still one of my favorites. As always, Brenda does not disappoint with the bedroom scenes...they sizzle as usual! But I think what really drew me to this story was the depth of research Joyce brings to the storyline with real-life historial individuals and the political intrigue and strategies that were indeed true to life and history during the Elizabethan period of England. The Hero makes your heart palpitate and the Heroine charms as well. I strongly recommend this one!

4.0 out of 5 stars Gr8!!, Mar 6 2003
By A Customer
This is one of the best books I have read by Brenda Joyce. I am currently reading The Conqueror and it is just as good as The Game.
I only wish Ms Joyce would continue to write such hot historical romances forever! I really couldn't care less about her 'Deadly' series. I don't find them as sensual and rich with historical detail as the earlier books. Please get back to writing books that are more along the lines of The Game or The Conqueror!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth more than 5 stars!, Jul 10 2002
By A Customer
This book was wonderful. I couldn't put it down. I wanted to soak up every word, and litteraly sat at the edge of my bed at times while reading it. I just loved the part when Liam told Katherine "I am coming back, and when I do, I am coming for you." I nearly fell off the bed. I am pretty picky when it comes to romance novels, don't like sappy predictable fluff. This book is a definate keeper. I've read it over about 3 or 4 times. I have read several others by this author and the only other that can compare to this is Promise of the Rose worth more than 5 stars also.
