Reviews - appropriate or not?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I believe that everyone is entitled to his/her opinions, but I've noticed more and more reviews that aren't only insulting to the authors and other reviewers, but don't even address aspects of the book in the first place, i.e. its plot or character development. The reviewer that wrote "this book and others like it so insult the intelligence of anyone with half a brain...", is plainly criticizing all romance novels in general. And by his/her rude statement insults not only the author but those people that enjoys a romance novel. Was that really appropriate? I may not prefer romance novels myself, but I think that we should respect that everyone has different preference. Romance novels may not be "substantial" to some, but I think for a lot of people it offers a short enjoyable break from their everyday life and that's definitely of great "substance"!

A definite read if you are a V. Heney fan. I have all of her books except the orginial "Irish Gypsy". "Enticed" is the same. A Irish woman, Kitty, falls for her boss. Marries someone who is sick in the head. Her love goes to America. Her husband dies. She travels to find her love. She falls into the clutches of a jealous lady who wants her love as well. She is rescued by a kind gentleman who marries her when he discoveres that she is pregnant. They travel back to England and after some time her love comes back. Eventually they get to be together but I won't tell all here.

This is the first book from Henley's that I read and there's no turning back !!! I've read virtually all of her books and this one is equally spectacular and breathtaking as the rest. I've always felt that the characters are alive and I'm there to witness it or put it this way..the heroine is me and the hero is my dream guy.....
I love it! The best book I have ever read! Got entrapped!

Have you ever read a book that makes you feel lightheaded and devoid of reality or your surroundings? Well, this is definitely the book. You fall in love, cry, and whomp with joy when you get to the ending. When I finished it, I was crying. Never before have I felt such a strong bond between two people, two lovers, two souls. Have you ever felt like that? Virginia Henley makes this book perfect. The scenes, the situations, the events, the characters. Everything were absolutely perfect! Virginia Henley, wherever you are, I just want to say that: "You are my favorite author!"
