Now that much of Johanna Lindsey’s backlist has been digitized and is now in most retailers, including Amazon, BN, WORD Brooklyn’s eBookstore and Kobo, I have a question for you, and the start of a new feature I hope to continue over the coming months: Classic Romances: Which One First?įor those of you who haven’t read Johanna Lindsey, or another famous name in romance, this thread might help. While I am not as big a fan of medieval -set romances, I know this book has some fans.ĮSPECIALLY since the original cover looked like THIS:Ī Viking lass named Kristen who hides warships in her hair, battling Royce, Thane of Wyndhurst, and his cheekbones? How can you resist? 99c offering ( Amazon | BN | WORD | Kobo).
*Other Johanna Lindsey books I plan on reading and reviewing: Tender Is the Storm, Man of My Dreams, and A Gentle Feuding.More ebooks have been released from Avon, including Hearts Aflame, which is their current. I hope other ebayers will find this review helpful. As Ranulf and Reina bargain and begin to clearly understand each other, the lust unfolds into love. But, keeping in mind that Reina is only 18 and Ranulf 23 I kind of expected it. Even though I found this cute and funny, sometimes I was a bit annoyed. The sexual tension was evident from the start, even in their teasing of each other.
I really liked Reina's character because she was bold and unafraid to voice her feelings in any given situation, especially when she teases Ranulf.
I was amused that Ranulf was so unchilvarous and inappropiate, especially when it came to women but then you discover the reason behind this and it all makes sense. A blonde giant of a knight, Ranulf Fitz Hugh, kidnaps her for ano ther. It centers around a princess named Reina, who was not yet wed and whose kingdom (Clydon Castle) was up for grabs due to the discovery that her father/ king had died during the crusades. It transported me to 12th Century England, the time when King Richard Lion-Heart went on Crusade. I have to say I really enjoyed reading this book. With an open mind, I cracked open Defy Not the Heart. Not only that, but she is a national bestseller, so I thought I'd give her a try. I chose to purchase a few of Johanna Lindsey's novels because her books were always predominantly displayed in romance sections at virtually every bookstore. This fall I decided to venture into reading vintage historical romance novels, which isn't my usual genre.
