Very interesting. But I agree I think you just don't like the time period.sybilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11342302708116383329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14637143.post-1141399433405173132006-03-03T07:23:00.000-08:002006-03-03T07:23:00.000-08:00Sybil,I do want a historical.

Believe me, I do expect accuracy when reading a historical romance..Based on the fact that I hated the BY series by Hunter, I think it's just the medieval time period..I don't even like movies set in that period, so I should probably steer clear, right? You're trying to convince me I like Avon, huh? LOL...again it's a love/hate thing with them...I will try THE WEDDING. I'll give medievals one more shot.romanceloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905716428189193561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14637143.post-1141370482905219942006-03-02T23:21:00.000-08:002006-03-02T23:21:00.000-08:00hmmmm I either need to go look at my books or her ...hmmmm I either need to go look at my books or her site. Oh or shut up. The Bride was the one I said you might not like right? Or was it The Wedding?<BR/><BR/>hell all I know is this wasn't the book I was thinking would grate on your nerves but the one on the boat with the h/h married at like 4 and 14 then torn apart until she is 21? maybe... <BR/><BR/>I know Castles has been rec'ed over and over to me but I haven't gotten around to read it.<BR/><BR/>BUT really, it doesn't sound like you want a historical. And if you want wallpaper historicals why the hell aren't you happier with AVON? Or maybe it is just this time period you no likey. I don't know if we can get fluffier than JG. OH the book you just put up I read was horrid and not correct history wise, I took it back to the ubs without reading it. But you might like it... look it over next time you are there!<BR/><BR/>Enjoy DiW again ;)sybilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11342302708116383329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14637143.post-1141313374735201332006-03-02T07:29:00.000-08:002006-03-02T07:29:00.000-08:00I loved REBELLIOUS DESIRE...so far that's it. I h...I loved REBELLIOUS DESIRE...so far that's it. I hated PRINCE CHARMING; didn't care for THE BRIDE. I purchased most of Garwood's book after RD and now am going to read them...next up is THE WEDDING. I'm going to reread DEVIL IN WINTER by Kleypas now though...need it!romanceloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905716428189193561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14637143.post-1141285202581997562006-03-01T23:40:00.000-08:002006-03-01T23:40:00.000-08:00Oh, whew, I thought I was the only one. TB was my...Oh, whew, I thought I was the only one. TB was my first and only Garwood historical. Like an idiot I glommed about 6 others by Garwood before I actually read this and now I can't face the rest of them. It just didn't grab me. Someone (maybe Kristie or Cindy?) suggested I try Honor's Splendor before giving up because she thought that one was her best. So I'll probably try that before taking the rest to the UBS.ReneeWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184560393907186300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14637143.post-1141261382890176552006-03-01T17:03:00.000-08:002006-03-01T17:03:00.000-08:00I'd have to disagree here, because I loved reading...I'd have to disagree here, because I loved reading TB. And I love Alec Kincaid. I can't really pinpoint why, but I just do. There was just something about the book and Alec that grabbed me. But if it wasn't the same for you, fair enough. I really enjoy reading different views of common books I've read with others, so thanks for sharing! :)<BR/><BR/>But like Dylan suggested, I wouldn't give up on JG yet. Maybe you might enjoy reading Honors Splendor. It has an Medieval background also, but perhaps you'll like Duncan and Madelyne better. Or if you're after regencies, try Lyons Lady followed Guardian Angel, The Gift and The Castles.<BR/><BR/>Happy reading. :)Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09392803917282659135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14637143.post-1141255963532878532006-03-01T15:32:00.000-08:002006-03-01T15:32:00.000-08:00See, I'm with Dylan on this one. While I enjoyed ...See, I'm with Dylan on this one. While I enjoyed TB, it didn't grab me like TW and HS. <BR/><BR/>I can understand completely your issues with Jamie. A lot of things she did bugged me (this is a great topic of debate with me and some other girls). And even Alec wasn't ALL THAT IMO. I loved Connor and Duncan WAY more than Alec. <BR/><BR/>Even her writing style bugs me some. There's just something about the way she puts together sentences that bothers me.<BR/><BR/>I don't think you should give up, but don't feel guilty if you don't absolutely adore her. AND DON'T - FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING HOLY - READ HER CONTEMPS!Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410951433962652780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14637143.post-1141253683767111022006-03-01T14:54:00.000-08:002006-03-01T14:54:00.000-08:00Ooh, I will be the first to tell you that TB isn't...Ooh, I will be the first to tell you that TB isn't the best JG book out there...I love her other ones better like, The Wedding, Ransom, Honor's Splendour, those books are favorites of mine...<BR/><BR/>I did love Alec and the story but I can understand why it didn't grab you, so it's all good...but don't give up on JG, please don't..she's the bomb!<BR/><BR/>Happy Reading! I LOVE CONNOR, I hope you do too!!Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10225913008564622617noreply@blogger.com
