Customer Reviews

Not the typical Dorothy Eden book

This book was a departure from Eden's usual Gothic romance/suspense, but it was good. This was more of a historical romance. As usual, lots of detail, but this one didn't follow the formula. Plenty of well drawn characters, costume and setting details, but if you are looking for Gothic romance, this isn't a fit. If you like a historical, definitely worth the time.

MAGIC OF NEW ZEALAND

This is the first Dorothy Eden book I read and it is still my favourite. The heroine is not the sweet, sugary kind that is usually depicted in these sort of books. Rather she has lived a hard life and is looking for a way out. However, the man that she is eyeing has been hooked by someone else - enter the no-nonsence hero who is physically attracted to her body and admires her spirit but has qualms about her single-minded pursuit of her objectives. How they adjust to married life and life in the wilds of NZ - as it was then - is an exciting read. BTW the hero and heroine remind me a little of Scarlett O Hara and Rhett Butler!
