I must admit it's not my favourite genre-although I do read one occasionally. It certainly seems to have a wide following-they can't all be wrong!

This sounds thought provoking, with some dynamic and fascinating characters. Have noted it......

This series is now at no3, which I am fortunate enough to have been sent by Lindsay. It's a very well crafted novel-but deals almost exclusivley with various military campaigns. Whilst I appreciate the historical content, I find it rather difficult/confusing to follow. Think I will overall prefer the "Boudica" series, which I am ...

A good read, peopled by some great characters-obviously the protagonist and her brothers are at the forefront of this.

[quote user="pennyt"] [quote user="windysisters"] Ooh, I've been looking forward to this for a while now and even more so since reading your review [/quote] Likewise. SInce I enjoyed Winter in Madrid far more than I'd expected to, I've been really looking forward to this one coming out, as it sounds as if it ...

[quote user="Saucier"] [quote user="dingsy"] I had "i njun" censored out earlier today.......had no idea that this was potentially offensive.
