Historia
Sixteen years ago, Princess Halla of Yshrem saved the life of an eight-year-old barbarian boy and watched her kingdom fall to ruin, all on the same day. Now, she is a forgotten spinster in a quiet temple, living her days out in solitude. The last of her line, she exists in the hope that she has been forgotten, for to be remembered by the enemy is to be certain death. One person has not forgotten her. Mathior, now 24, is the fierce warrior king of the Cyclopae. Yshrem is in turmoil and his advisors have a suggestion - kill the last remaining member of the royal line.

It had potential
Revisado: 04-02-23
The only thing worse than a book in present tense is a book in first person present tense. The heroine seemed more eighteen than thirty-three, but I made it through.

Historia
Portia St. Claire's brother has gambled and lost, throwing her into the power of ruthless men. Their price for his life is her virtue, to be auctioned off in London's most notorious brothel. To retrieve an incriminating letter, Bryght Malloren once broke into a house where he was greeted at pistol point by a resolute woman-a woman he could swear stands before him, masked and trembling, on a madam's auction block.

Tedious

I wanted to shake the heroine for being such a hypocritical, sanctimonious twit. It was hard to imagine what Bryght could possibly see in her. Hopefully the next in the series will be more refreshing.

Historia
Jo Beverley pens romance novels of immense appeal, as evidenced by her frequent appearances on the New York Times best-seller list. In this installment of Beverley’s Georgian Secrets trilogy, young Dorcas Caroline Froggatt rushes into marriage with a soldier who defends her honor. Supposedly killed soon after going off to war, the erstwhile groom again figures in Dorcas’ life when, years later, she attempts to marry another.

Should have better reviews
Revisado: 04-12-22
The author did a lovely job with character development and parts actually made me laugh out loud. Perhaps some bits were a tad far fetched but isn’t that the point of this kind of fiction? All in all a delightful story with some steamy bits, humor, and depth.

Historia
Eight-year-old orphan Beth Harmon is quiet, sullen, and by all appearances unremarkable. That is, until she plays her first game of chess. Her senses grow sharper, her thinking clearer, and for the first time in her life she feels herself fully in control. By the age of 16, she's competing for the US Open championship. But as Beth hones her skills on the professional circuit, the stakes get higher, her isolation grows more frightening, and the thought of escape becomes all the more tempting.

I can see why Amazon recommends. Terrible
Revisado: 07-20-21
I see why this one is free. If you are helping to break down a society you WOULD promote this anti-Christian, homosexual abuse of a minor, anti-family, communist sympathizing garbage.

Historia
The tide is turning against the colonists in the Revolutionary War, and 18-year-old Elizabeth Morris cannot sit by idly. Quietly disdainful of her Tory parents, who drag her along to society events and welcome a British soldier into their home during their occupation of New York City, Elizabeth decides to take matters into her own hands. She realizes that, as a young woman, no one around her believes that she can comprehend the profound implications of being a nation at war - she is, effectively, invisible. And she can use this invisibility to her advantage.

Present Tense
Revisado: 06-13-21
Literature in present tense hurts my ears. Couldn’t make it past the feminist reference in the first two minutes.

The Mystery Fell off the Tracks
Revisado: 10-31-19
This audiobook started out exciting. There seemed to be a good mystery with some unexpected twists. Then it descended into hours of liberal propaganda, male bashing, and southern stereotypes. I stuck with it hoping the mystery would come back to the forefront, but it fizzled and was a dud.

Historia
It began on New Year’s Eve. The sickness came on suddenly, and spread quickly. The fear spread even faster. Within weeks, everything people counted on began to fail them. The electrical grid sputtered; law and government collapsed - and more than half of the world’s population was decimated. Where there had been order, there was now chaos. And as the power of science and technology receded, magick rose up in its place.

I really wanted to like this, but....
Revisado: 02-09-18
What would have made Year One better?
I love a good fantasy, but this book went from promising to inane in a hurry. I quickly tired of the NY millennial characters with no skills beyond witchcraft and sex. The constant apologizing for guns in the book was distracting. The characters all found weapons necessary for their survival but then wanted to get rid of them (or at least take them for the folks who weren't in charge) as soon as possible. I also couldn't take the repeated shock and disgust expressed by the characters when they might need to *gasp* kill a deer or rabbit to eat.
What could Nora Roberts have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
I simply could not relate to the characters. Except Fred. I liked Fred.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The setting moved from NY, to OH, to PA, but all the bigoted "bad guys" had southern accents. I did not appreciate the stereotype.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
I managed to make it to nearly the end, but really have no interest in finishing it. I feel like I have been listening to them "play house" and try to set up some Utopian society for the last three hours.

Historia
This mesmerizing first novel tells the epic journey of Lin, an escaped convict who flees maximum security prison in Australia to disappear into the underworld of contemporary Bombay. Accompanied by his guide and faithful friend, Prabaker, Lin searches for love and meaning while running a clinic in one of the city's poorest slums and serving his apprenticeship in the dark arts of the Bombay mafia. The keys to unlock the mysteries that bind Lin are held by two people: his mentor Khader Khan, mafia godfather and criminal-philosopher; and the beautiful, elusive Karla, whose passions are driven by dangerous secrets.

Where's the plot?
Revisado: 11-24-10
The narrator is great, but that's about all I have to say for this book. After listening to part 1, I was so bored, I decided to clean the house. I don't care about the characters and the story is plodding. Wish I'd not wasted a credit.
