Summary: Just Not Enough Romance. 2.5 Stars
Comment: You know there is trouble when the two leading players don't like each other nor do they have a meaningful scene until page 250.

Anita Mills wanted desperately to establish Katherine Winstead "was coming into her own". Katie girl was growing stronger with each significant episode in her dreary life. Apparently, by the end of the book, the author hoped we would come to regard our fragile heroine as another "Katherine the Great"!

Remarkably, at the conclusion, gentlemen fell at Katherine's feet, they overlooked her inadequate physical appearance, and they admired her newly discovered "pluck to the bone" disposition! What the devil does that mean? If it means grit and determination, by the end of this story, who cared?

Our heroine's "doormat" attitude grew tiring, an attitude that allowed everyone and their dog to run over her. Even the Russian servants were impertinent. Katherine may be a stranger in Russia, but she is a daughter of the upper English class, and is NOT a stranger to the aristocratic viewpoint! Katherine should have screamed from the roof tops, "Guess what, I'm the almighty countess around here, and it's my way, or the highway!" Language barriers or not!

And what happened to Katherine's only friend in her bleak, frozen, marriage -- the little Russian maid, Maria? Recklessly, together Katherine and Maria escape from the Volsky estate, then incredibly the maid disappears! I guess Anita Mills banished the maid to the bottom of the inkwell!

This lady is a truly gifted writer, and she can carry her reader on a journey. In this book, she presents the Russian way of life, in the early part, of the nineteenth century. She probes the severity of the existence and thrusts it into the story. Yet, it was not enough. I found this storyline choppy, farfetched, and not romantic.

Summary: Never Typical
Comment: Anita Mills again creates wonderful, real characters in this unusual story. Kate is nothing like the typical heroine of this genre, and Bell is almost too real! He may have a perfect face, but it is his rich array of faults that make you love him! Anita, when will we find out who finally catches Leighton?

Summary: I Love Anita Millls stlye of writing.
Comment: This is my third book I have read from Anita Mills. I've read Autumn Rain, Bittersweet and Falling Stars. I plan to read all of her books. Falling Stars was a really exciting book to read because of its adventure, dark betrayal, passion, sensuality and romance. I also love the time in the 1800's I feel like I'm taken back in times when I'm reading her books. Please Thank Anita Mills for me. I love her style of writing and I hope she is still writing new books because I want to read them all. Sincerly, Rita De Leon
