3.0 out of 5 stars Mystery or Romance?, Jul 5 2004

By A Customer

Although I enjoy a little mystery with my romance sometimes, I just didn't get into this story. I could almost write 'ditto' on the review (glad to be finished). I had to force myself to continue reading and I also skimmed through with a blah, blah, blah on many sections of the book. I found it easy to put aside to do other things which is a clear sign that it didn't keep my interest. I thoroughly enjoyed Candace Camp's Mesmerized, with mystery and all. I found this book just came up short with the characters and unless you read Mesmerized before you read this book you will not get the full effect of how the Moreland family is such an oddity which was a big part of the first story, Mesmerized. Do yourself a favor and skip this one, but most definetly pick up Mesmerized. It is a fantastic story.

3.0 out of 5 stars Glad to finish!, April 26 2004

By A Customer

This was a book that I felt had a lot of potential, but didn't live up to it. I had a hard time finishing it, but I did. I hate to give up on a book, so I slogged through it. The characters were okay. The hero, Rafe, had a lot of potential, and I actually thought he was quite good. The heroine, Kyria, struck me as sort of strident and snippy. I really didn't like her. I realize she was the "Goddess", but I felt she was just rather unlikable. I found myself skipping through the mystery parts to get to the romance. The mystery, while well written, was just not interesting to me. I usually like Candace Camp's work. In this instance, I felt she slipped into the later(and not necessarily better) Amanda Quick mold and gave up the romance for the madcap adventure bit. For me, it didn't work.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great historical romance/mystery, April 23 2004

By A Customer

This book starts where the last one, Mesmerized, left off. I liked this book because it provides everything that I was looking for. I love romance, and this one was excellent. The characters were likeable but they also had a few flaws. They fell in love, but it was in a way that made me laugh and sigh at the same time. The women in the book are all strong and independent and I like that type much better than the ones that are weak and needing a man to feel complete. The mystery was fun. It did not capture my interest like the romance but that is because my interests do not lie in history or relics. In any case, I am definitely looking forward to the next book in the series of this family.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really good historical romance novel,
I enjoy losing myself to a really good historical romance novel every once in awhile. I think this writer also does a good job with this genre. Read more
