Worth more than 5 stars!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This book was wonderful. I couldn't put it down. I wanted to soak up every word, and litteraly sat at the edge of my bed at times while reading it. I just loved the part when Liam told Katherine "I am coming back, and when I do, I am coming for you." I nearly fell off the bed. I am pretty picky when it comes to romance novels, don't like sappy predictable fluff. This book is a definate keeper. I've read it over about 3 or 4 times. I have read several others by this author and the only other that can compare to this is Promise of the Rose worth more than 5 stars also.
Liam O'Neil will steal your heart

I never wanted the book to end. I just absolutely fell in love with Liam O'Neil and I wished that I could have been Katherine. Brenda Joyce does a superior job of weaving together the actual historical events of the time, as well as her fictional characters. Her ability to describe events as they are happening is just unbelievable, and she makes everything seem so real in your mind. If you are a romantic person, even just the slightest bit, you will absolutely love this book.

I have read many of Brenda Joyce's novels, but "The Game" was the absolute best book I have ever read. From the stage to the use of the words to the effects of the romance, I was total engrossed with the story. The main characters Liam and Katherine were alive, filled with energy , hope, fear, excitement, more passion than I ever felt. I literally was endulged in the book until the last sentence. If you have never read Brenda Joyce, than you are missing the greatest romance /adventure stories which allow you live and breath the characters. This story was so good that I read the book in 2 days and ran out to the bookstore the same day and purchased Violet Fire.
This is my all-time favorite romance novel

Oh to be Katherine... being pursued so determinedly by the likes of Liam O'Neil. Katherine is so strong in her convictions - she just doesn't give in (which makes for great sexual tension throughout the book). Also, the history is so rich! I loved seeing Queen Elizabeth lust for Liam...what a great twist. I have read and re-read this one. I highly recommend it.
