Summary: A Legend At Work!!
Comment: No one can argue that Kathleen Woodiwiss is the first lady of romance and romantic epics. Ms. Woodiwiss is the reason that I love the romance genre so much. I was hooked the first time I read The Flame and the Flower. No other author in this genre has the ability to weave a story that transcends the pages and whose language is poetry in itself. Ms. Woodiwiss is a lengendary wordsmith, and her stories capture your heart, make you laugh and cry at the same time, and sigh after you've read the last page.
Her latest literary accomplishment is The Reluctant Suitor, a tale of two people who've known each other all their lives,yet don't really come to know each other and love each other until 16 years later. The hero is Colt Wyndham, a war hero, the Marquess Randwulf, and a man running from a betrothal to the "scrawny" Adriana Sutton, whom his father feels is a perfect match for him.
To escape the trap that he feels his father has set for him, Colt runs off and joins the military, not knowing that fate would intervene and bring him home to his destiny.
Sixteen years later, Colt returns home to find that his "scrawny" bethrothed has now blossomed into a much sought-after beauty that no man can resist. Colt pledges that he will keep his father's promise of a 90-day courtship, but will resist falling under the spell of the bewitching Adriana, no matter the cost.
Adriana is shocked to find that her reluctant bethrothed Colt has finally deigned to come home from the war. She resents the fact that he rejected her so long ago and vows to make him rue the day he met her. However, Adriana is amazed when the very man she hopes to keep at bay is the very man she finds herself fantasizing about and longing to be near.
What a beautifully written love story. The story unfolds at a leisurely pace, with excitement, passion, adventure, heartache, and redemption added along the way. This is not a story that you can read in one sitting. The depth, beauty, and complexity of the written language must be savored to fully appreciate what a legendary author Kathleen Woodiwiss is. I promise you once you get past the venacular, you will enjoy The Reluctant Suitor immensely.

Summary: God it pains me to say, but I couldn't even finish it.
Comment: I love Kathleen Woodiwiss of old - books like A Rose in Winter, Shanna, and Come Love A Stranger are some of the best in romance out there, I believe. She had passion, strength and the ability to craft a story so incredible...This novel, I struggled through the first few chapters and couldn't force myself to continue it. I really wanted to get into the story, but the overdone language was a huge barrier. The characters were a bit flighty and I couldn't seem to muster up enough emotion to care about them. As sad as it is, this is not the Kathleen Woodiwiss of old and I will think twice before automatically picking up another of her books. :(
