This I think is my favourite of the three Siri Mitchell books I've read. After reading "She Walks In Beauty", I was hooked. So I loaned this on an inter library loan, and completely enjoyed myself. Although the story, characters and events are all, at times, depressing, they reflect life. People ...
This is the only Siri Mitchell book I've ever been able to finish. I realize that I will never be a fan of her writing, and need to stop being enticed by the beautiful covers.I would give this book 2.5 stars, if I could. I really enjoyed it for a spell, but then it was just okay.The characters go...
LOVED THIS BOOK!!! This was my first book by Siri Mitchell. I loved it. It totally took me right into the Elizabethan era. I've never read a regency-era fiction book before. Made me run to the video store and check out "Elizabeth" which I've never had any desire to watch before! This book takes p...
I read Unrivaled, in exchange for review from Bethany House. The book was written by Siri Mitchell and published by Bethany House. I received a paperback version of the book. The book is about Lucy Kendall, who wants to work in her father's candy business. Her father's business is failing, in add...
This was my first book by this author and in this series, I am not sure what the first 5 were about or if it would of made a difference, I didn't feel like I missed anything so I am going with no it would not have. This book is about making candy. How could you not like it. We have the Lucy who i...
1. I decided to read this book because the book is look nice and it's look quite fun.2. My favourite character was the Captain because he was brave and he did things some of the people in the town would never do.3."God is only good. And life was a gift. Of that I was certain. I did not know yet w...
I had trouble deciding between 3 and 4 stars. I erred on the low side - hope Ms. Mitchell will forgive me! ;) I really enjoyed "She Walks In Beauty" and had high hopes so that could be why I was a bit disappointed.The story is a bit awkward to start - the shifting of perspective is not always w...
This book was nice. Pretty average but nice none the less. Nothing too exciting or unpredictable happened but I liked reading it still.One thing that really annoyed me though is how Ellis was pretending to be Janie and when she first met Jack she told him her mother was dead. But in following con...
Brustleigh had been created from layers of luxury. From marble in a rainbow of colors. From window after window, expanse after expanse of glass. I did not understand how the walls could stay up when they had been sliced so often to make windows. Some walls had even been pierced for no reason but ...
He dropped her with us and then went in search of some refreshment. She greeted Katherine and then leaned close to speak of me. “I had a most delightful walk with Franklin.” “Yesterday?” “Yes, it was. But … how did you know?” “It was me he left before he went to you. Tuesdays are my athome day.” ...
It had been too long since I had given myself the pleasure of such a long walk, and I was both exhilarated by my time out of doors and dismayed that there was so little by way of plants left to behold. All told, I was rather pleased with myself. I’d done quite well both at...
It was a fine giving day and yet Polly was crying as she entered the bedroom. “What’s wrong?” “It’s General Howe. He’s decided to send men out into the countryside. And Major Lindley’s to go with them.” I wondered if Jeremiah had heard about this. “I’m sure he’s not leaving for good.” “It’s just ...
