From Amazon.com

Her high school graduation just days away, pretty Gabriel Landry is blissfully happy. Then a rich cannery owner, Octavious Tate, surprises her near a secluded pond and shatters her world. Pregnant and desolate, Gabriel agrees to let Mrs. Tate pretend she's the one who's expecting and claim the baby for her own. But after her baby is taken from her, Gabriel's life is shattered again -- until the mysterious Creole millionaire Pierre Dumas comes to the bayou... --Ce texte provient de la Mass Market Paperback �dition.

1.0�toiles sur 5 One of the worst efforts from the GW yet, Mai 8 2004

Par	"carysehlwinn" (Ontario, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Tarnished Gold (Mass Market Paperback)

I honestly cannot understand how anyone could like this book. This is absolutely the worst book in the Landry series. This book is even worse than the entire horrendous Melody series.

Why do I hate this book so much?

Well, it's absolutely, 100% unbelievable. The GW tries his best to write from the viewpoint of a teenage girl, but fails miserably. None of the characters in this book felt developed at all to me. They were all stereotypical and flat, and the plot was just the same plot we've seen since V.C.'s death replayed once again with different characters and a different setting.

There was no flow to the story, the major plot points weren't built up to properly, or at all. All of the actions undertaken by the heroine were completely unbelievable. Again, I believe this is the fault of a writer unskilled at writing from the viewpoint of a young woman.

The main problem with the story is the romance between Gabrielle (or Gabriel as she is referred to in this book) and Pierre. In what I can only assume is an effort to keep the book to an acceptable number of pages, the relationship develops much too quickly, with the two being pained to be apart instantly. What follows is just too flowery and awful to endure, really. Then, the relationship ends just as abruptly, and it all goes downhill from there.

I honestly cannot think of even one redeeming quality about this book, and cannot in good conscience recommend it to anyone.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Shocking Beginning of Landry History, Mai 30 2003

Par	"eliza19922001" (Davenport, IA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Tarnished Gold (Mass Market Paperback)

Gabrielle loves the great outdoors. Unfortunately she is shut up from everything bright and beautiful. It starts when Octavious assaults her. When Gladys finds out from Gabrielle's dad Jack, Gladys gets mad at Gabrielle. Gabrielle's mom Catherine loves her (Gabrielle) unconditionally. Catherine even told Gabrielle that it was not her (G) fault that the marriage between her (C) and Jack was troubled. Gabrielle falls in love with Pierre a few years after she gives birth to Paul. Pierre and Gabrielle spend time together. It ends with the birth of Ruby and Gisselle. The process is fatal to Gabrielle.
