Couldn't Put it Down

I know it's a cliche but it's the truth! I think this would be my favorite Coulter to date. I don't care if it isn't well researched... I didn't recognize the discepencies as I am not a scholar of Regency history and culture. It was fun and I enjoyed the interaction between the characters. It was certainly not boring. I would read it again.

LOVE IT !!!!!

This is the greatest book I've read this week. It is funny and really romantic. People in this book really care about each other. Please take your time and read this book. You'll love the language this book gives you. I've read all of Catherine's books and I loved all of them.

The Best Type of Heroine

Although I read Ms. Coulter's novels "voraciously," as she would say it, this is by far my very favorite (I've read it at least 6 or 7 times!). It's probably because Evangeline has a will of iron and an unbreakable honor and love for those around her. She puts herself at the bottom; she will not allow Houchard to hurt her father or Richard's son, Edmund. This is perhaps why Richard falls for her. The suspense is fabulous and you just want her to tell him her devaststing secrets the entire way through. Like I said, it's my absolute favorite. READ IT!!

The Deception

I like the new look of this book. Truth be told it's an awesome page turner. There are full surprises and plots. If you start reading it you will be glued to continue to the last page without single need to put it down.

ANOTHER WINNER!!

Yet again, Catherine Coulter has done it. I especially enjoy how she brings characters into her books from other books. It lets you know what happaned after their 'happily ever after '. I couldn't put it down. The part where a murder occurs and its ramifications had me in tears. You actually feel so bad for Eve. This is absolutly a book you Don't want to miss!!
