1.5 starsSo I decided to go on a Julie Garwood glom, starting with books I haven't read or have only read once. This falls into the read once and never re-read category and I now remember why. It's her debut novel, and you can kind of tell that Garwood hasn't yet hit her stride as a writer in that she doesn't have her characteristic fluffy tone in this one. It does have an overuse of the description "contradiction" that she still tends to bestow on her heroes and heroines. It also makes use ofThis is my second Garwood romance read in less than a week. This is unheard of for me... I very, very rarely read romance, but as I'm participating in a blog activity with a friend, I'm going for it and reading 5 of them this month. I read this one in place of a different one that my friend had sent me, because that one was about rippling abs in kilts and the Garwood I just read featured the same theme... sort of. So I went for something a little different and went for Feudal England over
I found it! I can't believe I found it. I've thought about this book now and then, wondering what it was. I was pretty sure it was Garwood, but I couldn't pin down the title till just now, with a pretty simple search on Google Books. (I do love Google Books.) You see, a good while back (pre-Goodreads) I went to work and forgot to take a book with me. It was horrible. My break loomed, and I was anticipating a long, boring half hour staring at the vending machines, when a very kind, well-meaning

2.5 starsH was an ass to the h which was normal for the time period but I didn't like it. At the same time I liked that he wasn't PC. A decent book but my least favorite by JG.
I love the strength of the heroines in Garwood's romances and I loved the heroes cluelessness of her strength!
After reading all of JGs historicals, and being in love with every single one of them.. this left me a bit disappointed.Maybe if I hadn't read her other books, I'd have found Geoffrey's yelling and shaking acceptable.Maybe if I hadn't read the strong heroines she wrote, I'd have found Elizabeth's crying and surrendering sweet. But I have, and so my expectations were a little high, and easily crushed. *Personal rant*He was my least fav of all Garwood heroes. He was highly non understanding,
