Summary: Average....
Comment: I read Rosamund and I quite enjoyed it. So, I was very excited to read this one. When I did read I was a bit disappointed. I found myself disliking Rosamund in this book whereas I liked her in the first novel. First of all, I found the first scene with Patrick and her unbelievable. Secondly, I found her behavior rather rash in comparison to the first book. I just found her too bold. Not that there's anything wrong with that it's just not the way I imagined her to be after the first book. Then she took up and left her three daughters for months so she could cohabitate with Patrick in the warm weather. I guess that was accepted in those days but I don't agree with it. In a way Rosamund was selfish. Also, the ending was quite predictable as to who she would be with. Nothing new here!

Summary: The Latest In The Friarsgate Series
Comment: This is the second book in the "Friarsgate Series" and again Rosamund Bolton is our heroine and we travel with her through all sorts of intrigue, love, and disappointment that Ms. Small is famous for penning. For the most part I enjoyed this book but as some other reviewers have stated this book was not as good as it could have been. This book basically picks up where "Rosamund" left off and we find ourselves at Scottish court and immediatly after just one meeting Rosamund is in love with Patrick Leslie. Of course this love does seem to be of the "lasting forever" variety until of course a tragedy comes out of nowhere and ends that right away. Fear not though there is a potiential lover waiting off in the wings for when Rosamund sees him as more then just a lover (he has loved her since he first saw her at a market when she was just a young girl) and of course our story ends there with Rosamund possibly falling in love with him.
This book was entertaing for me because Ms. Small is such a descriptive writer and I love the time that she takes with details that draw you into the time period. Her lusty characters are also entertaining but I felt that there was just something lacking with this story that I was never fully able to pin-point and as a result was not fully able to enjoy this book as I have enjoyed past stories by Ms. Small. In any event I would not avoid this story but I would suggest that you borrow it from a friend if you are new to Ms. Small or just not fully committed to wanting to purchase the book.

Summary: How repetative can she be
Comment: I always loved Small's work, but this is a story that should have been a short story. Small's characters retell the same thing over and over and over again. It is really annoying. Makes me think she didn't believe I absorbed the explanation the first time or am too stupid to retain it longer than two pages. ( I am refering to Patrick Leslie's explanation every two seconds about why he was sent off to a beautiful Island as the Kings man to help prevent a war)As always, her historical accounts are really terrific, and her lusty scenes are extensive. However, the sex scenes are numerous. If you like that sort of thing, you will be thrilled with this new addition. However, if you are like me and prefer the romance and tension in a relationship, you will be disappointed to find out the first lusty scence comes as quickly as page 7! And then pops up so often I just started skimming paragraphs to get to the story plot.The lovable characters of the first book are there, as is the mean ole Uncle, but truthfully, this story just plays out way too long. It would have been tighter and more enjoyable had she put it in a collection of short stories.
