Summary: My first Julie Garwood
Comment: This was an amazing book. This was my first experience reading a Julie Garwood book and by far the most entertaining romance novel I have read ever. I believe everyone is entitled to their own views but I saw strength in Sara. She may have been more emotional than most heroines but she certainly did not lack strength, it just wasn't as apparent. She truly loved Nathan from the time he rescued her when she was 4 years old. Sara was determined to win his love and trust. I can not wait to read more of Ms. Garwood's work.

Summary: SO FRICKIN' FUNNY!
Comment: I have never laughed so hard or so much in my entire life! I peed my pants three times reading this book, and laughed so hard I cried quite a few times! Sara is THE most oblivious character I have ever read! Oblivious, naive, but yet eager to please her husband and to have him love her. And the irony in Nathan being a notorious pirate and captain, yet he was seasick, and quite often! What a HOOT! I really loved all the characters, especially Pagan's crew! They thought she was a curse! Every time she touched something, everything that could go wrong did go wrong, and man, was it EVER funny! She was always frustrating and complicating Nathan and his crew, innocently, though, mind you. The love story was really light and not very intriguing, but this was a great read! Very light, very easy, very comical! Just a warning, though: Sara's family is very abusive and mean, so this book isn't for someone who would be disgusted by the comedy in this lightening the seriousness of abuse. (I don't think the author intended to make light of it, but that is how it was veiwed through the herione.)

Summary: I totally disagree!
Comment: I think that some of the people who wrote reviews are whining. Not the heroine of Julie Garwood's book. You have to take into consideration that Sara, the heroine, was probably a good representation of some women at that time. And a large facet of her charm and appeal is the way she grows from timid, and self conscious to mature and self-assured. In this book, the characters have been married since they were 4 and 14. They are from rival families and were ordered to marry to settle a dispute. 14 years later, Nathan comes to get Sara and start their married life. The story that follows amusingly, and touchingly, chronicles Nathan and Sara falling in love on the high seas, and fighting to keep that love on land. I thought The Gift was a great book, certainly one of the best in the series. (Speaking of the series, there are four books, not three. The Lion's Lady is the first. Then Guardian Angel, The Gift, and Castles.) The two main characters are loveable, and have good chemistry, not mention some GREAT and really witty conversations. And of course, the hot love scenes

Julie Garwood has created a thoroughly interesting plot and setting, a great cast of minor characters, and a great book! I reccomend it highly, but I also reccomend you read the books in order.
