2.0 out of 5 stars What a bastard!, 3 Aug 1999
By A Customer
How more annoying could these two characters be? Although Falcon's decision that he wants Jasmine instead of her wealthier half-sisters is all well and sweet, the physical abuse etc which he puts her through is untenable. Having a domineering hero is fine, and I suspect most readers (including myself) prefer them that way. However, there should be a limit. The fact that he keeps having sex with Jasmine against her will (and it's not just a case of her saying "no" and then being seduced anyway) is enough to put anyone off this book. For all that, if you've nothing better to read, this will do for a light read.

2.0 out of 5 stars Well-written but Jasmine needs shooting!, 9 Oct 2000
By A Customer
Another fantastic storyline from Henley who has the ability to weave her reader into her reality. The dampeners were put on however, by the heroine Jasmine, who quite frankly was irritating. While Henley fans relish a good chase, witty repartee, and the eventual emmergence of the already present but well-hidden love, they might be disappointed that Jasmine doesn't thaw until the end, after Falcon has forced her a few times. This puts you off the great oaf, and makes you think Jasmine too frosty to like. Otherwise, well-written.

4.0 out of 5 stars Historical and romantic, 19 April 1999
By A Customer
I love Virginia Henley's love for history, as I do. Her research for her novels in itself is enough to keep me reading to find out more about the outcome of the particular historical event she's penning. Her heroes are extraordinary. Especially the 'Falcon'. He was man enough to put up with Jasmine's undecidedness, and sometimes just downright childish behavior. He was patient, which in itself made him an extraordinary man. But once Jasmine fell in love, she was his most loyal supporter. She sacrificed herself for her family. Again, 'she did what a woman had to do'. One reader commenting the novels said the history was 'mumbo jumbo', but it is a fact that Virignia Henley is a REAL historical writer, in the true essence!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!
I thought this book was quite good. Although it contained a lot of mumbo jumbo about the wars and all, I still enjoyed the love-hate thing between Falcon and Jasmine.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite Virginia novel by far!
She never seems to lose her touch. This was my favorite novel from Virginia. It kept me up all night turning page after page anxious to find out what happened next! I loved it!

I loved this book! Granted, Falcon is full of testosterone and he is domineering, and even a creep, but I like them that way. I don't want a sappy, wimpy hero. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars abusive hero and flaky heroine, what fun!
