"The Queen of Historical Romance"

Book Description

Orphaned by a tragic accident, sixteen-year-old Amalie Courtland set sail from America for a new life in England with her godmother. What she didn't expect to find was Lady Winford's handsome rogue of a grandson, Robert Holt Braxton, Earl of Deverell. Immediately smitten by Holt's careless good looks and smoldering blue eyes, Amalie's naïve young heart fell in love. Little did she know Holt was trying to resist his own temptation -- by having his grandmother take Amalie away.

Years later, Holt is shocked by the change in the one-provincial Amalie. The tawny-skinned enchantress with raven hair and lustrous green eyes has become a cool, composed beauty. Soon Amalie is lost in the arms of this experienced rake as they succumb to the tempestuous passion of their hearts and bodies. Then, when Holt learns of her brother's plot to destroy his business holdings, he suspects Amalie has betrayed him and he vows revenge. But not even he can deny the all-consuming storm of desire that threatens to drown them both...

1.0�toiles sur 5 I should not have wasted my time, Mars 9 2004

Par	Miranda "dan" (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires

I must say, the author has gone to lunch on this one. The hero (Holt) is a rake, libertine and a vile personality. He hasn't a kind word to say the Amalie. Amalie on the other hand is a dimwit.
The story does not go well throughout. There are too many unanwsered questions at the end. Do not waste your time on this trash.

Par	Erin Brown (San Diego, CA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

Did the people that put this book together even read it? Or were they, like I, so bored, confused and apathetic that they didn't care? First, the image inside the cover has NOTHING to do with the book. Even if I could reasonably believe that the background was New Orleans or London, rather than the American Southwest, the man is dressed in jeans (which weren't introduced until maybe 40 years after the book takes place) and the woman is dressed in some sort of Mexican outfit. The back cover has a description which speaks of a different storyline - her brother never has a plot to destroy the lead male's (I hesitate to call him the "hero") holdings. The lead male character is deplorable. The lead female is an idiot. After one encounter with him, in which he is extraordinarily mean to her, she gets a schoolgirl crush? After this, they have a number of sexual encounters which leave me indifferent. This suave and experienced man never even does more than unzip his pants - oh yeah, I want one like him! The woman decides every time that, yes, he MUST love me, or we wouldn't be doing it on the parlor floor, despite his constantly being mean to her and making sure she understands that he doesn't really like her. They never seem to have a conversation consisting of more than him insulting her, which makes me wonder how either of them thinks they are possibly in love. A final note, the story was ridiculous. Quite often all the action happens somewhere between the end of one chapter and the beginning of the next, and suddenly time has passed and suddenly the characters have moved and started a whole new life or fought an entire war. It makes no sense. This was the first and last time I'll read this author. What a waste of seven bucks.

2.0�toiles sur 5 Not in My Arms, Oct. 6 2003

Par	Elspeth M. Mcclanahan "mcelspeth" (Raleigh NC) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

I read this book as a way to give Rosamary Rogers a second chance. This is the second of her books I have read and will be the last. First of all someone must not have read the book before they did the art work on the inside cover. First of all the western/Montana scene and dress depicted is not at all what it looks like in New Orleans or Regency England. Ok now to the book. I felt there was too many story lines happening at once, quite frankly i see no reason why the story needed to return to the US. There is really no conclusion where are hero relealizes how he has wronged Amie our heroine, no he just climbs back into her bed yet again and she welcomes him.
Holt, our hero treats her like garbage on more then one occasion then ruins her more then once, but never appologizes, heck she never even gets to explain.
I felt completely unsatisfied and by the end really couldn't have cared less.

Ms Rogers the "Queen of Romance" definitely fell off the throne with this story. I was so disappointed by the lack of passionate, intrigue, and interesting characters... Read more
