Benefits of air travel

I found a copy of this book in the seat pocket of an airliner so I took it along to read. I enjoyed the book, although I will admit that it had some faults. When I checked in to leave a review I was amazed at the breath of the reviews that had been posted. It occurs to me that you either like this book or you hate it. I guess it comes down to if you will allow the author to suspend reality in order to present the story. When I read paranormal, I not only allow that liberty but come to expect it. There were some outrageous situations in the book but it was interesting to see how the characters react. I feel that the author spends a bit too much time describing some of the character motivations rather than allowing me to experience them, yet that is a just stylistic preference. I liked the complexity of the story as it had a mystery element as well as the romance. All of the main characters were well developed and there were a LOT of minor characters that kept the story moving forward. The pace was well done with all of the plot threads coming together in the final pages of the book. The sexual elements were well handled without being crude or contrived- and yes- there was a lot of sex. (...)

Intriguing

I found Jana G. Oliver writing style intriguing and the story itself unique; in short, this was not a book that I wanted to put down. While acknowledging the occasional typos in the first printing, the narrative overpowers these and the "steamy" style supports rather than detracts from the plot. This is the perfect book for a rainy afternoon and a box of chocolates. I look forward to seeing more from this author.

Hot and Steamy!

I read the book in less than 3 days, which isn't bad considering they were work days! The two main characters (Mariah and Andrew Clare) are very well developed and make you want to really care about them and all that they go through. The supporting cast is well written too (aside from the villian in the story - but I don't think that was the author's point - the rest is too overpowering). Overall, I found myself laughing, crying and dreaming with the entire cast. A word of warning, there are some typos in the copy (first printing) that I have but think the story overpowers the faulty spell check on the type setters computer.Finally, without giving anything away the storm and turret scene was a fantasy come true for me and worth the price of the book ten times over! You will have to read it to find out!

Compelling and Hot

Jana G. Oliver has a fascinating imagination that takes you on a steamy adventure with a dashing 18th century ghost, based on the poem The Highwayman, a mystery writer visiting England and an equally dashing descendant of the ghost. Her descriptions create vivid pictures in your mind and draw you quickly into the midst of the action. (Warning - hot and sexy!) You will find passion, romance, mystery and adventure in this book. I highly recommend The Lover's Knot and look forward to more books by Jana.

Very Hot

Jana Oliver's Lover's Knot in the first few chapters raises the temperature in the room, With her hot and steamy love story. Then she sends you on your way looking for more,which she delivers. I recommend this novel for a day with no distractions and a lot of chocolate on hand.
