I am a great fan of J.L. and usually enjoy her books, especially her Malory novels. Although the story line did have potential, it never quite made it for me. First of all, the two main characters rarely interacted with one another. Secondly, when they were together, they were yelling and screaming at one another. To be fair, I did enjoy the day spent on the island, but there were not enough of those types of scenes in the novel. I never got the sense that there was a deep connection between Boyd and Katey. I do like hearing about the other Malorys, but to me this book did more of revisiting those stories than devoloping Boyd and Katey's relationship. Also, I absolutely hated reading Katey's fantasy scenes; they were so unneccesary and took away from the enjoyment of the story. Wait and check it out at the library, don't waste your money on buying it.

Though I really liked the characters and I liked the first 150 pages or so, the rest of the book was a let down. Way too much background info into the Malory family (which most of us avid Malory readers already know). Boyd is virtually forgotten for quite a while and then finally in the last pages of the book, he comes back into the picture. Too short of an ending. Too abrupt. The story just didn't flow right. I would have liked to see more of the courtship and reconciliation. Still a decent read. It was quite funny in some spots.

This was a great book but it felt rushed in alot of parts. Anyways it was enjoyable.

I love Johanna Lindsey's Malory books. This book kept up with the Malory family, but I felt like it moved too fast over Boyd Anderson and Katey Malory's love affair. While I love any interaction between Anthony and James Malory, the book focused too much on Anthony. Basically, it should have been longer. Overall, still a great read, just fell short of the Malory standard.

I haven't read any other Johanna Lindsey's Malory books before but this one was incredibly boring and so silly, I can't believe I finished it. There was no romance -- a lot of lust, fighting, frustation and more "action" between brothers than the main characters to call this book a romance. I wish I hadn't wasted my time on it but once I start a book, no matter how bad, I have to finish it. Don't bother.
