From Publishers Weekly

This bland romance, which borders on formulaic, recycles a few elements from Garwood's earlier novel Guardian Angel . In 1802, in an attempt to bring peace between two warring families, the king arranges a marriage between the 14-year-old Nathanialsp ok Baker, marquess of St. James, and Lady Sara Winchester, who is four. Fourteen years later and now a pirate, Nathan wishes to claim his bride--and the property that comes with her--but the Winchesters aren't cooperating. Nathan decides to indulge in a "clean, uncomplicated kidnapping" and spirits his wife out of England on one of his ships. In fact Sara, long infatuated with her absent, mysterious husband, settles into life at sea quite cheerfully, enlivening the voyage by accidentally destroying a couple of sails, giving the crew food poisoning and setting the vessel on fire. Despite it all, her determined affection for and faith in Nathan and his crew gradually wins her a place in their crusty, seafaring souls and a loyalty that is tested when, on their return to London, Sara's father threatens to expose an old scandal that could ruin the St. James name.

Product Description

1.0étoiles sur 5 Never hated a character before!!!, Jui 2 2008

This review is from: The Gift (Mass Market Paperback)
I am a romance novel junkie!! I will grab anything and read the whole book even if I am not crazy about it. This is the first time I have ever put down a book in the middle and not finished it. Sara is the worst character I have ever read. Her constant crying and irrational behaviour get in the way of what could be a fairly good story. Why would I want to read about a woman that I would detest in real life? I love Julie Garwood books but I think she made a mistake with this one.

2.0étoiles sur 5 No originality and dumb characters, Mars 18 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: The Gift (Mass Market Paperback)
Maybe I've been reading too much Garwood, but this was the first book that really got on my nerves. The characters were like every other Garwood character - the naive female with a "sprinkle of freckles on her nose" and a giant brute of a man who is "well-muscled and stands a head above every one else." The plot was the same - two people from different backgrounds fighting each other and eventually falling in love, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sara seemed a bit dumb and overly whiny for the typical Garwood heroine - what kind of idiot would go about untying ropes on a ship (and how would she have the strength to do that anyway?)? She drove me nuts!

I really do love Garwood books, though. I would highly recommend Honor's Splendour and The Prize because of their sweeter plots and characters. I particularly liked Royce in The Prize because he wasn't typically handsome and didn't think himself much of a catch, but Nicholaa saw past all that and loved and chose him.

This review is from: The Gift (Mass Market Paperback)
The gift is certainly a gift to Ms. Garwood readers! It has it all! Suspense, humor, anticipation and a sizzling romance that crackles with everything one wants in a great read! Only a gal like Sara could subdue a man like Nathan!

Be sure to read the entire series: 1. The Lion's Lady 2. The Guardian 3. The Gift 4. Castles.
