In the midst of my condo flood, I thought I could really use a smooshy, mooshy romance to take me away from more pressing matters at home. I took about six books with me to the hotel, but really couldn't concentrate on any of them. Anyway, now at home I'm making some progress. Finished this on...
Tiffany Warren has been separated from her father (and brothers) since she was a very small child, living with her mother in New York. Now she is eighteen and time for her to travel to Montana and marry Hunter Callahan. The Warrens and the Callahans have been enemies for about fifty years and it ...
Stormy Persuation is a Malory novel by Johanna Lindsey. It is mainly set in London and on the high seas to America. The characters, as usual, are clearly depicted and very realistic or as much as can be for a period novel. The plot is interesting and keeps you on your toes. Jacqueline Malory...
Es uno de esos libros que nunca imaginas que te atraparan, comienzan algo aburridos y luego no los puedes dejar de leer, me paso con este libro, al principio no me gusto mucho porque es una historia bien clasica, del odio al amor solo hay un paso, que de la rabia pasa a una pasiaon ardiente que t...
I've missed the Malory clan. In a time a when appearing to be perfect is the goal of The Ton, The Malory Family are very happy and comfortable being the antithesis of what is expected. It may even be argued, that James and Tony make it a point to push the enevople even futher. With time, all thin...
Audio Version: I must say, I went into this book expecting not to like it. I was annoyed that the leads were not Mallory's or married into the family. I was pleasantly surprised when I was about an hour into the story. I always love the narrator of this series but the story was engaging and kept ...
Duuuuuuhh...boring banget baca ini. Sepanjang buku isinya ngeluthek tentang Amanda yang sedang menyeleksi calon suami, dari pesta ini ke pesta itu, dansa sama si A dan si B, bla bla bla. Udah bosen sama HR model begini. Mana chemistry antara Amanda+Devin gak berasa sama sekali.Weeeell...kalo buka...
Hace mucho leí el primer libro de esta serie y no me dejó un recuerdo profundo ni ganas de leer la continuación, así que cuando me hice con este libro, ni pensé que tuviese que ver con otros. De hecho, no entiendo porqué la serie se refiere a los Reid, cuando los siguientes 3 libros que la compon...
Το πρώτο πράγμα που πρόσεξα όταν έπιασα στα χέρια μου το βιβλίο της Johanna Lindsey “Τυφλή Αφοσίωση”, το οποίο κυκλοφορεί από τις εκδόσεις Elxis, ήταν το συγκλονιστικό εξώφυλλο του. Ιδανικό για την ιστορία του βιβλίου και τους δυναμικούς του ήρωες. Ήρωες που γνώριζα καλά, πολύ πριν τον βιβλίο εκδ...
In my effort to understand the romance genre, it was time once again to pick up another romance novel.For science. You monster.The result is a book that Iiked more then I thought I would, But something that just fall short of being a story I'll remember.The story is about Ophelia Reid, who is the...
Ugh. Looks like I dipped in the Malory well one too many times. After reading The Magic of You and Say You Love Me, and enjoying both immensely, I was looking forward to more of the same with Captive of My Desires. What a let-down. Not only were the hero and heroine totally mismatched, but I co...
I don't seem to enjoy a lot of the books that were written in the 80's and very early 90's. There's too much violence and raping and abuse in some of them. It seems like a crap shoot any time I pick one up. This book was one that I read years ago in the early days of my romance reading. (I starte...
Historically inaccurate and confusing. A dull, unrealistic story with one dimensional charactersFirst, the historical inaccuracies. I'm not usually an "accuracy Nazi". It is fiction, after all, and is meant to entertain. However, when the author presents things that are so conflicting in time and...
When reading a series there are some readers who liked to be reminded of past heros and heroines from the previous books, I happen to not be one of those readers. Don't get me wrong I don't mind a small re-cap but to go on pages and pages about how Anthony was a notorious rake and how James was a...
This book sucks beyond belief! And like it's not infuriating enough plot wise, it goes on and on like a delusional maniac, claiming rape is not rape, abduction is not abduction, coercion is not coercion, and it's totally alright to be kidnapped, held against your will, raped, beaten and humiliate...
Nah, ini buku hisrom pertama yang aku baca sampek tuntas. Awalnya sih baca buku pertama yang Defy not the Heart, tapi stuck di bab 5.Alasannya?1.tKarena karakter buku kedua ini lebih menarik.Milisant, digambarkan sebagai perempuan dengan perilaku yang tidak sesuai kodratnya. Dia pintar berburu, m...
I’ve read Johanna Lindsay’s entire backlist- the good, the bad, and the ugly. I have her entire backlist in 1st printing even. When I heard there was a sale on some of her digital editions. I grabbed a few. Heart of Thunder was one of them. I decided a bit ago to work my way through some of ...
My occasional revists to Johanna Lindsey haven't gone well, this masochistic little odyssey into high school nostalgia that I swear has a homing device in the crapper.But you know what keeps me picking up the Lindseys with an ever-hopeful burst of optimism? The cover art. Surely some of the Bob M...
This was an intense book for me, and one that reread frequently growing up. The start of the story really sucks you right into the story. Jessie's father beats her mother Rachel within an inch of her life, because he sees a black-haired women in bed with another man, and thinks it's his wife, w...
This waste of Amazonian forest was not only awful, nonsensical and so bad it remained forever bad, but also exhaustingly, thunderously boring. One could not even seek refuge in the blessings of trashy imagery; evil females stripping the heroine bare to have her creamy flesh flayed, ancient Count...
OH MY GOD! AWFUL , JUST AWFUL. Normally i like a book with an overly macho alpha male, who is in love with the heroine to the point of obsession, but this was just soo terrible , i wish i could go back in time and un-read it.Firstly i would like to clarify that i get that this is a 'Bodice ripper...
Re-read 7/18/10 -- Man... I think I even liked this audiobook better the second time around. Pirrrrrrrratical fun. ;)4.5/5 stars. This was my first novel by Johanna Lindsey, though I read a short-story of hers in an anthology before reading this book. As I listened to the audiobook, I was tr...
Second in the Straton Family historical western romance series and revolving around the Straton family. The couple focus is on Chandos and Courtney's daughter, Casey, and Damian. It's 1892 in Texas.My TakeHow very disappointing. I expected so much more from Lindsey, but most of the story was tell...

'Seringkali asumsi, persepsi, dan prasangka , membuat manusia cenderung memberi kesimpulan dan cap/stigma mengenai sifat, karakter seseorang.'Membaca sinopsisnya sepintas mengingatkan cerita film Satu Mawar Tiga Duri. Cerita tentang keponakan yang dikagumi banyak pria dan kemudian para pengagumny...

Bintang 3Buku ke 1 seri Wyoming.Pandangan mata dapat menipu. Untuk itu seseorang harus dapat bertindak bijaksana dan berlaku adil dalam menghadapi segala sesuatu yg menjadi masalah. Apalagi jika masalah itu menyangkut seseorang yg penting dalam hidup kita. Kebenaran sejati harus kita ketahui sebe...
Bintang 4 Buku ke 1 seri Straton Family.Judulnya sangat sesuai dengan karakter Chandos yg liar. Kukira Chandos sedikitnya memiliki darah indian ditubuhnya, tapi ternyata tidak sama sekali. Chandos memiliki nama yg beradab namun tak ingin digunakannya karena suatu alasan. Keadaanlah yg menjadikann...
It's been years since I've read Johanna Lindsey. 8th grade, maybe? High schoolish? (So we're talking 1989-1993.) Now, having picked up A Gentle Feuding, I remember why I read JL back in the day with such speed and future lack of retention about any of the plots: Lindsey's style is very simplisti...
hmmm, aku sedikit kecewa dengan buku Lindsey yang baru terbit ini. rasanya 'inti' dari Historical-Romance itu sudah berkurang di buku terakhir Lindsey yang aku beli. sayang sekali.tapi kalau 'inti' dari HR itu gak dipikirin, maka dengan alur ceritanya, Lindsey tetap paling top. ceritanya gak sepe...
Bintang 3.Sejenis dengan buku karangan JL yg penuh dengan penipuan karakter antagonis yg ingin mgambil keuntungan, tak adanya kejujuran antara karakter hero dan heroine, keadaan yg tak menguntungkan, ketegaran dan harga diri yg tinggi yg dimiliki karakter heroine, dan gabungan dari unsur unsur t...
IMPORTANT: This review has initially been written on my own site back in the day (2009) when I was not a goodreads member.I'll refrain from writing a summary and simply point out the ups and downs from my perspective. I'll also be most careful on how much I will be revealing; my desire is to make...
Balas dendam yang berakhir "manis".Seperti buku pertama dan kedua dari seri Viking, buku ini bercerita tentang balas dendam, salah paham, perbudakan, dan akhirnya jatuh cinta. Tapi buku ketiga ini bagiku tidak terlalu banyak mengekspos emosi tokoh hero dan heroinenya yang menjadikanbuku ini hamba...
Sharisee Hammond had resigned herself to marry Joel Parrington, the man her father had arranged for her. Though she did not love the man, she would never complain and always do what her father expected of her. That was until her younger sister Stephanie told her of her undying love for Joel and h...
Have i told you that i love Malory family and now Anderson family even more???I already told you that, ugh???? Sorry, but be patient with me!!! What is one more time???I think that in this book i laugh more than all the previous books and believe me that all of them was laughable enough...But thi...
There is so much I'm willing to forgive in a HR taking place in the Middle Ages. I would actually prefer not to have woman's lib and obnoxiously feisty (or male-wannabe) heroines fettered during this time. But there is one interesting feature in this book - the heroine rapes the hero.Scandalous, ...
Bintang 5Buku ke2 seri Wyoming.Terenyuh, sakit hati, dan sedih. Itulah yg kurasakan saat membaca 2 bab awal buku ini.Bagaimana tidak, Colt Hunter alias White Hunter, teman dekat Jessie (baca buku pertama) yg berdarah campuran setengah Indian-kulit putih, harus mengalami pencambukan yg hampir mere...
Once upon a time, there was a warrior maiden of reluctant femininity who fell in love with the slightly emo (but always badass) second son of a noble family....But this is not their story. This is FIRES OF WINTER, a bucket of dead tree barf that was cobbled into really cheap toilet paper, the sor...
