Product Description
The next installment in the dramatic new Ravenscar series from the international bestselling author of Woman of Substance. As Edward Deravenel stands alone on the rocky Ravenscar beach he counts his blessings. The war to end all wars is over; he and his brothers have survived. Now he can build Deravenels, the family business empire, into all he has dreamed of. Yet there is a thorn in his side -- his reckless younger brother, George. George's gambling and unpaid debts are beginning to cause rumours and unease. And Edward realises that his brother is capable of not just recklessness but blackmail and betrayal. The fortunes of the house of Deravenal suffer a terrible reversal as one disaster follows another, and tragedy strikes. Ravenscar A House. A Legacy. A Dynasty. It is Edward's daughter Bess, his golden girl, who carries the family name forward, making an alliance that will secure the empire and the inheritance, and start a new dynasty. And it is Bess's son Harry who stands in his grandfather's shoes at a similar age and vows to rebuild Deravenels to greatness -- as long as he can have the son and heir he longs for. Whatever it takes!

This review is from: Heirs of Ravenscar (Paperback)
I hoped that this sequel would make up for the dreadful Ravenscar Dynasty but it is awful. It follows the story of the end of the Plantagenets and the rise of the Tudors but set in the 2oth century; so if you know a little history the storyline will be predictable. I would say the only enjoyment is wondering how she is going to bump them all off! It is no longer possible to behead your wife. Please Barbara go back to your old style.

Heirs of Ravenscar,

This review is from: Heirs of Ravenscar (Paperback)
I give this book one star mainly because it never got started. Theres over 300 pages and it never got started. It felt like I was reading a persons day to day life, not very interesting. Some parts of the book were enjoyable to read but overall it just never took off and never kept my interest for long

The Lazy Author's Guide to Making (more) Megabucks,
By
This review is from: Heirs of Ravenscar (Hardcover)
Oh dear!! Quite the most abysmal read I've had for a long time. Miss Taylor Bradford is well-known for her "blockbusters" - but this is the laziest piece of fiction mixed with "historical fact" in a weird kind of mish-mash - maybe she's trying to invent a new genre - "How to be Write a Novel where the Dear Reader Does Not Care About Any of the Main Characters" (and what a boring bunch these Deravenels are!) obviously ripping off the Plantagenets and the Tudors (I mean - Edward D even had a mistress called Jane Shaw - check your history books!). As for Harry Turner wanting to divorce pious, saintly RC Catherine, of Spanish extraction, to marry the (ahem) "sloe-eyed beaty Anne Bowles".... Dear Lord, it's put me off buying another book by this woman. Ever.
(God knows what the editorial team really thought about it... I'm guessing she's successful enough for them not to be, shall we say, completely honest.)
