The Bride and the Brute por Laurel O'Donnell

I nearly gave this three stars but it was just a little too cheesy for my taste. Some decent angst though. (2.5 stars)

A Knight Amid Thorns por Laurel O'Donnell

While this is certainly a rather short read, there is a lot to like about it. It is a sweet story of love, and a sweet story about thinking we know what we are seeking when, in fact, we might be actually needing something else. The content of the story is suitable for any age, and the romance is mostly implied, with no adult content. This is the first book I've read by this author, and would have no hesitation reading another.

The Bride and the Brute por Laurel O'Donnell

I would have given this 5 stars if it had been a bit longer. Overall though, this was an excellent story and showed that love takes time. I will most certainly be reading more of this author's stories.

The Angel and the Prince por Laurel O'Donnell

I picked up The Angel and the Prince expecting a great medieval romp, since there were so many good reviews. I appear to be in the minority opinion here, but I found the book fraught with issues. I had a hard time getting over the main premise that the best warrior in France(or one of the best), was a petite woman called the Angel of Death. The book never really shares with us how this came about or gives supporting information how this would work in a male oriented society. You never get to see the comraderie or loyalty that kind of thing would inspire between her and her men (with the exception of one of her brothers). There are many decisions made between the hero and heroine that are at odds with their characters. (At one point the French heroine answers "Aye" to a question asked by the hero!) Lots of typos, loose ends and too many things going on, like the book couldn't decide what it wanted to be. It seemed to be part fantasy, part The Taming, part The Kingdom of Dreams and part kitchen sink.
The Angel and the Prince, had a promising beginning, became a hot mess and had a ok ending. An epilogue was needed to see how things were going to work out, but there wasn't one. I liked the hero and the heroine, but we don't get to know most of the supporting characters that well. It had promise, parts of the book were really good and I would check out more by this author before deciding.… (mais)
