Reviews

[Lady Tea · Rating 2 out of 5]

I think the descriptions I'm looking for are 'average' and a little 'boring'. Just typical, nothing I haven't read before.

Also, can we please stop having the heroes refer to themselves in the third person? (i.e Me Tarzan, Tarzan lord of apes! Tarzan think Jane is very pretty, doy!).

This was a book of my mom's. I like Cassie Edwards. This book is from 1996 and is a good example of the writing style at the time. I read this book in two sittings. Love the setting. The heroine was a bit over the top for me. She was strong at times, wimpy at others and certainly fell in love way too fast. But that's what you get with some purple prose.
