| Suprisingly a Georgette Heyer that I didn't love or even liked! The blending of Gothic darkness and light-hearted romance does not work for me, especially at the end when murder, insanity, and suicide are all forgotten over a pleasant game of rubber...more | |

| I don't give many books five stars, and I went back and forth between four and five. Five wins out because it has kept me thinking even days after finishing. Francine Rivers has written a modern adaptation of the story of Hosea and Gomer from the O...more | |

| Each Heyer book I read I think that the next one couldn't be better, and "Cotillion" is one of those. I love the characters, their scrapes, and their zany relationships. I think the dialogue in this book has been the best because I was able to envi...more | |

A Tailor-Made Bride

junior high and up

My rating:

| Whitemeyer follows a formula, but if you like a wholesome story line with squeaky clean characters, then it is no waste of time to read her books! I've only read two of her three, and both are very similar except for the inner, spiritual conflict th...more | |

“For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, so shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth. ”
