I found this book very Spell-binding... the characters were very vivid and I found myself not able to put it down. You find yourself hating the lord of the manner and yet drawn to his character. In the end you will love him as the heroine does!

I listened to the audiobook recording of Blackthorne and I really liked it and I liked the reader Michael Page and thought he had a great voice and just did a wonderful job reading the story and doing all those different voices for all the different characters and I just really liked the characters Quenton and Julia and also Bennett, Liat and all the rest of the characters except for creepy Wyatt but Michael Page really did a great job making you feel how rotten Wyatt was. This audiobook is a keeper!

I devoured this one. Blackthorne had me hooked from the title, the gorgeous cover, and from the first page. Ruth's style of writing made this beautiful, tasteful story roll through my mind's eye as if I were living in Blackthorne.

You won't believe the creative language Ruth bestowed on Blackthorne's housekeeper. She's an absolute kick!

Best of all, this romance is keenly focused, with the subplots deftly woven in so as not to overshadow the relationship building between Olivia and Quenton. This is one of those rare books that I could read a dozen or more times and never tire of it. It's deeply romantic, pure romance in every page. Blackthorne should become a classic historical; it well deserves the honor. -Lee Emory

This story kept me in suspence until the very end. The twists and turns are unexpected and add to the excitement of the story. I anxiously await the next two books in the O'neil Saga.

I don't know how she does it! Langan writes the best stories combined with the best romance! As you will witness if you read the O'Neil saga. It is simply the best!

Rory begins in violence and ends in enduring love. The heroine Annaclaire is a delight with her comebacks to Rory's flirtatious charm as he recovers from his wounds. Deep emotions and depth of character abound in this story.

Ruth Langan wove an unconsummated first love scene filled with high emotions and sensual tension. Rory and Annaclaire's love begins in that moment, vivid and rich in equal parts passion and frustration.

One lives this story breath by breath when Annaclaire learns that her guest has been discovered, secreted away in her attic, which puts their very lives on the block.

This is a book ripe with intrigue and plot twists that set your heart pounding, love scenes that leave you panting and as breathless as the lovers themselves.

Ruth has penned a clever, beautiful heroine and a deeply romantic hero; both are truly unforgettable characters.

The end of this book nearly stopped my heart! Fortunately, I was saved by a beautifully rendered epilogue and romance of which we mortal romantics may only dream.

In all, this is an excellent achievement, a book that keeps suspense going until the very last pages. A superior novel that literally leaves you breathless, so involved you live inside the persona of Roy and Annaclaire every step of the way. I loved this book and will treasure it always.

When Captain Riordan Spencer arrives to deliver the news that the Lambert sisters' beloved father and brother were killed on their way home from sea, he never expects to be confronted by such a strength of union on the part of the Lambert family and their friends. He is also stunned to find himself fascinated with Ambrosia, the eldest of the sisters, whose skill with a sword rivals her great beauty. The Lambert sisters are not typical young women and Ambrosia, especially, has been gifted with a heart as stout as any man's and a courage that matches her fearlessness. Familiar with ships and life at sea, it doesn't take her long to deduce that it was more than just a storm that was responsible for the deaths of her father and brother. And the more she learns of their loyalty to the king, the more she realizes that Spencer and her father and brother are not merely sailors. Soon, Ambrosia and her sisters take up the cause to fight for king and country and to carry on where her father left off, as privateers.

With this story, Ruth Langan has written a marvelous tale full of heart-stopping suspense and a stirring romance between Riordan and Ambrosia who share an uncommon love of adventure that cannot be contained by the strictures of society. Though for the sake of her safety, Riordan might wish it. Readers will be moved by the Lamberts and their loyal, and uncommonly brave, friends who risk a great deal for each other as well as their king. And though there is no real mystery involved, Langan keeps you on the edge of your seat with dangerous sea battles and the thrill of life at sea. I look forward to reading the next installment about these three remarkable and courageous sisters.

This book is so thrilling that one can't put down until the very last last page. Langan wrote such an exciting book that I can't wait until the I read all the series and have them.

Ruth Langan held nothing back on this one! Absolutly wonderful!

The conclusion in the Wilde trilogy, Ace's story was not, in my opinion, the best of the three (though he is certainly the most charming brother!), but it was highly enjoyable. The sparks and feuds between Ace and Ally only serve to heat things up, and for those who were waiting for Ace to finally meet his match in a woman, you won't be disappointed. The characters in the Wilde trilogy are rich and full of life...Ally and her cantankerous grandfather, the newcomers in this book, personify the characterization standards we have come to expect from Ms. Langan by the end of this trilogy. Though my personal favorite is Chance, I would swoon for any of these three brothers.

This last installment of Ruth Langan's trilogy, The Wildes of Wyoming, is fulfilling and just a bit surprising in terms of plot. It is the characters, however, who drive this plot towards an excellent finish.

Ace Wilde comes into contact with Ally Brady in Clancy's where she is systematically hustling the cowboys out of their money by feigning ignorance when it comes to pool. By the night's end, she cons our unvanquished hero, a qualified target in her eyes, out of a thousand dollars. Ace is left drunk, humiliated, and enraged. But of course Ally is not the mercenary she seems to be. She needs the money to help her grandfather whom she loves dearly and has finally come home to.

Danger threatens the Bradys as well as the Wildes and they successfully deal with this unexpected, and overarching, dilemma. In the meantime, Ace and Ally have their hands filled trying to outhustle each other into a happy ending and coming to terms with the love they are coming to share.

I really enjoyed getting to know both Ace and Ally. I had been looking forward to Ace's story from the start and was not disappointed.

The Wildes of Wyoming is a trilogy that is memorable and enjoyable. The bond between the brothers and how they make the most of their father's legacy is wonderful to read about. I have to admit that Hazard is my favorite of the three brothers. I really found myself admiring and respecting Ace as a hero because his dependability manifests itself when he puts his heart on the line and falls in love with Ally.

Ruth Langan does a superb job of making you wish there were more Wildes of Wyoming out there with this book. Ace is the wily rogue that we all wish was waiting for us on our doorstep at the end of the day. Ally is the one woman who is even better at pool than this charming hustler. The interaction of Ace and Ally is charming to watch as she finds out that her new boss is the person who she deprived of $1000 the night before at the local pool hall. Ruth does a wonderful job in tying up the series and yet giving us a glimpse of the lives that she has introduced us to in the two previous books. "Ace" beautifully stands alone, but the other two books should be read, if you haven't already, as you'll want more of the Wildes of Wyoming when you finish. This book is a definite must-read of the summer.

This book is definitely a must have. I can honestly say my interest was held from beginning to end. At first, I wasn't to quick to buy this book because I don't enjoy short stories. By the time I finished this book, I was eating my words.

This book is a collection of 3 stories (2 taking place in present day time and 1 taking place in 18th century England)by 3 great authors. They introduce you to the Colton family of California. The book also is the beginning of a 12 Book series that begins in June 2001. I can't wait until June.

In Dreams by Nora Roberts
Kayleen Brennan was on vacation in Ireland, exploring the countryside and hoping to find some goods for her family's antique store in the States. When out exploring, she gets caught in a bad storm. The enigmatic Flynn rescues her, and then her adventures really begin. He is cursed to spend eternity living only through his dreams, with one week every 100 years to truly live. He intends to make this week one to remember with Kayleen, hoping to convince her to be with him forever. She is drawn to him, but when she finds out his secret, will she be able to accept him for who, or what, he is?

This was another good story from a master, but has a tendency to get bogged down in details. Granted, the heroine is an antiques expert, but is it really necessary to go into so much detail about Flynn's furniture? Queen Anne this, Louis XV that, it is overdone and detracts from the story. Kayleen and Flynn make an interesting pair however, complementing each other in many ways. The story surrounding Flynn is intriguing, as to why he is condemned to the "life" he has. If one can get past the over-the-top detail in many places, this is a delightful story.

The Sorcerer's Daughter by Jill Gregory
Willow of Brinhaven's father, a powerful dream sorcerer, is imprisoned for angering the great sorceress Lisha. He is doomed to remain there for 100 years, unless Willow brings Lisha the Necklace of Nyssa, which is protected by the Trolls. He father vows to send out a dream to a protector for Willow on her quest, leading her through the Perilous Forest and Troll's Lair. But in error, the wrong person, Blaine of Kendrick, receives the dream. Blaine is known for causing trouble and his exploits with women, and he is the last person she should count on. But upon meeting, they are drawn to each other and eventually agree to go on the quest together. But the more they are together, the more Blaine wishes for a different quest, one to win the fair Willow's heart forever.

This was quite a fantasy tale, with trolls, sorcerers, and magic galore. It has a cute storyline, with details of Willow's quest, and the matching of wits between Blaine and Willow. Blaine is the typical "bad boy" of those days, and Willow is a young woman trying to overcome her position in life. The sparks between the two of them will light up the darkest of nights. There is also an interesting side story; the real reason Lisha imprisoned Willow's father.

The Enchantment by Ruth Ryan Langan
Annie Tyler is trying to make a real estate business for herself in Maine. Things are going fairly well, but she gets her break when Cordelia Sykes Carrington, one of the wealthiest women in the state, solicits Annie to sell her summer home. When Annie arrives, expecting to have the place to herself, she is surprised to find Ben Carrington, one of Cordelia's sons, show up as well. When they become trapped there together by a sudden storm, strange things begin to happen, with a lack of electricity keeping them cut off from the outside world. But even stranger is the fact that they are falling for each other. When the storm is over and things are back to normal, will they find their attraction is real, or just a dream?

This was an okay story, but probably the least favorite of this reviewer's in the collection. Too many things are far-fetched and unrealistic. Example, Isn't it rather strange that ALL the power in the house, all the phones, and their cell phones don't work, but the refrigerator works just fine? The point is made several times throughout how there was a power failure, but neither character thinks it odd that the refrigerator works when the stove doesn't. Some of these smaller details just confuse the story, distracting one from the love story between Ben and Annie.

The Bridge of Sighs by Marianne Willman
Claire is an American art appraiser, trying to overcome her recent divorce from her adventurous ex-husband, Val. She gets the chance of a lifetime when Count Ludovici of Venice, summons her from one of the oldest and richest families in the city, to inventory and appraise his extensive art collection. She can't resist the chance to return to Venice, where she was born, but left as a young child. Her ex-husband is also there, to photograph the artwork, much to Claire's dismay. Or is it? She still loves him but is convinced things will never work. When she starts having haunting dreams of a young girl, Bianca... a dream which fast becomes a nightmare, upon learning Bianca disappeared many years ago, believed to be murdered. Will Claire and Val learn to be together again, or are they truly meant to be apart? Who is the mysterious Bianca, and what happened that fateful night she disappeared?

This was probably the favorite story in the collection. Especially since this reviewer was reading it during her very own dream vacation in Venice! It was fun to be reading about the very sights being visited. The story in itself is well written, too. Claire is a bit lost; trying to find her place in her life after everything she thought she wanted falls apart. The addition of the sad story of Bianca, enhances the feel of the story, and makes Claire realize she needs to go after her own dreams if she ever wants to be truly happy.

All in all, this is a memorable collection. Each and every book in the "series" these four authors collaborate on is a delight, well worth the addition to any romance lover's library. One will want to make this addition to their "keeper" shelf!

"Once Upon a Dream" is an enchanting anthology by four very talented romance authors. It's a nice, light read, and is wonderful for those days when you just need to relax!

The first story, "In Dreams" by Nora Roberts, is the best. Flynn has been sentenced to an eternity trapped in a half world of dreams, with only one week every century in which to live. Five hundred years into his sentence, when his week is just beginning, Kayleen Brennan, the dark-haired beauty who haunts his dreams, shows up at his door in the middle of a storm. Flynn brings her in and tends to her, and as the two spend time together, the ever-sensible Kayleen begins to see that there really is magic in the world. The romance these two share is both passionate and tender, and will surely warm readers' hearts. At the end of his week will Flynn trap Kayleen in his half world just to keep her with him, or does he love her enough to set her free? This is a highly original and magical tale, and I guarantee it will make you smile!

Next is "The Sorcerer's Daughter" by Jill Gregory, my second favourite story in this anthology. Willow's father, Artemus the sorcerer, has been imprisoned by the powerful sorceress Lisha. The only way to set him free is the retrieve the fabled Necklace of Nyssa and give it to Lisha, so Willow embarks on a highly dangerous journey to find the necklace. Concerned about his daughter and her journey through the "Perilous Forest", Artemus weaves a spell that is supposed to send and old friend to Willow's aid, but instead sends the infamous rogue Blaine of Kendrick, who's out to get the necklace for himself. This is a lovely, fanciful tale and it is sure to please readers.

Third is "The Enchantment" by Ruth Ryan Langan. Annie of Tyler Real Estate has just been given the opportunity of a lifetime when she is asked to sell the Carrington estate in Maine. She travels to the mysterious, deserted estate to check it out, just as Ben Carrington arrives to take one last look at his family home. With a little help from a ghostly presence, Annie and Ben get to know each other on borrowed time, and discover the enchantment of true love. This is an enjoyable and entertaining tale about taking the time for what's really important in life.

Finally is "The Bridge of Sighs" by Marianne Willman, which is the weakest story in the anthology, but is still worth reading. Claire of San Francisco's "Sterling Galleries" travels to Venice to appraise a very special art collection. In Venice, Claire runs into her ex-husband Val everywhere she goes and begins to wonder if she could fix what went wrong between them. Claire is also haunted by dreams of a troubled young woman from the past, and is determined to uncover the truth regarding her fate. This is a lovely story about righting the wrongs of the past in order to create a bright future. The plot of this story was a little weak, as were the characters, but that didn't stop me from reading and enjoying it.

Overall, "Once Upon a Dream" is a wonderful anthology filled with magic and love. Each of the four authors has created an intriguing, fanciful, and original story that will leave you satisfied and happy. So read this book today!

This book has many enchanting stories full of romance and magic. A true joy to own

There are a couple good and very descriptive in depth reviews written already, so this is just my opinion:

Ever After by Nora Roberts
It's Nora. Excellent as usual.

Catch A Falling Star by Jill Gregory
An historical. Not my genre, but this story is very good. I liked the female lead.

The Curse of Castle Clough by Ruth Ryan Langan
My favorite and an introduction to Ms. Langan. Since reading this book, I have read other novels by her. I wasn't disappointed.

Starry, Starry Night by Marianne Willman
Passionate love story. Beautifully written.

All in all you will read these stories again.

Having read ONCE UPON A CASTLE, I couldn't wait to read ONCE UPON A STAR. I can honestly say, each author has her own magic and each story has it's own enchanting gift of entertainment.

Ever After by Nora Roberts You know Nora Roberts; she's yet to write one that isn't a winner. The woman can paint a picture with her words--it's amazing! Allena buys a magical necklace and finds herself on a magical trip. When Conal meets Allena, he realizes his fight with the past is going to be even more difficult than he ever imagined. A fanciful, entertaining read.

Catch A Falling Star by Jill Gregory Jill Gregory's historical short story is light on magic and heavy on romance. I love historical reads and found this one enjoyable. Princess Lianna is being forced into a marriage with Ambrose the Barbarian. She hates the thought of being married to a barbarian and resents that he will not let her use her special gift. While Ambrose fights for the right to keep his inherited property, Lianna finds her self fighting for the right to keep her heart. They will teach you a lesson in love and loyalty.

The Curse of Castle Clough by Ruth Ryan Langan A ghostly read. This is one of two that I enjoyed the most. Warming up to the characters (especially Jamie) was no problem at all! When dropped off at her next assignment, the driver warns Estelle that the castle is cursed. Her job is to estimate and sell some family antiques for Lord Cameron, who is being forced to liquidate his precious family heirlooms. A delightful read!

Starry, Starry Night by Marianne Willman This is the second of the two that I enjoyed the most. It's a Time Travel that will captivate you, and a romance that will move you. After coming to Cornwall, Lily finds her self lost and in danger. A stranger appears to save her, yet disappears again. Rees finds himself haunted by the site of a woman in a white dress, and each time he reaches for her, she disappears. A wonderful experience of love reaching through time.

A great read.

"Once Upon a Star" is a delightful anthology filled with four fantastic tales of magic and true love. Every story is well-written and utterly enthralling, making it nearly impossible for me to pick a favourite. Each of these four talented authors shines in the original and intriguing stories they have created.

"Ever After" by Nora Roberts tells the story of Allena Kennedy, who just can't find her place in the world. While in Ireland helping her stepsister Margaret run her tour company, Allena buys a beautiful star pendant. The next thing Allena knows, she has missed the ferry she was supposed to be taking, but then finds a boy with a boat to take her where she needs to go. But Allena ends up on Dolman Island, miles from where she should be, in the midst of a wild storm.
Reclusive Conal O'Neil finds Allena out in the storm and reluctantly brings her back to his home. Though at first he is rude and standoffish, Conal can't resist Allena's charms, as she makes his house feel like a home for the first time in years. But Conal knows from the star pendant around Allena's neck that she is the woman the fates have chosen for him. Determined to make his own destiny, and not allow his life to be dictated by fate, Conal tries to push Allena away, and may just be throwing away his one chance at happiness and true love!
Being a Nora Roberts story, "Ever After" is undeniably a fabulous read.

"Catch A Falling Star" by Jill Gregory is a wonderful historical romance with just a dash of magic thrown in. Princess Lianna of Penmarren has promised to marry Ambrose the Barbarian to keep peace in her father's land. But Lianna is terrified by the prospect, as Ambrose is a ruthless warrior who supposedly murdered his first wife. The day before the wedding is planned, Ambrose arrives in the middle of the night demanding Lianna marry him at once and return to his home at Crow's Keep. Ambrose's homeland of Blackenstar is once again under attack, and he must go at once to defend it. So Lianna marries Ambrose, counting on her father's promise that a great army will come to rescue her soon.
But as Lianna gets to know Ambrose, she finds he is not the heartless monster she has heard about. Lianna discovers the real Ambrose, a fair and compassionate man who his people regard with affection and respect, forced to defend his lands against a never-ending onslaught of invaders. Lianna finds incredible passion and tenderness in Ambrose's arms, and falls deeply in love with him. But soon the day Lianna has dreaded comes, when she learns the attack on Crow's Keep is imminent. Will Lianna find a way to save Ambrose's home? And will Ambrose believe that Lianna truly loves him, or will he be too shattered by her apparent betrayal to see the love she feels in her heart?
This was an excellent tale, that had me really caring about Ambrose and Lianna, and praying for a happy ending.

"The Curse of Castle Clough" by Ruth Ryan Langan tells the story of Lord Robert Cameron. Rob's heartless and incredibly wealthy ex-brother-in-law, Griffin Mackenzie, lent his late father fifteen million pounds for his many debts. Knowing Rob will never be able to come up with that much money, Griffin gives him one month before Castle Clough becomes his. Desperate to keep his beloved home from Griffin, Rob hires a highly regarded auction house in the U.S. to sell his precious family heirlooms in hopes of raising the money that way.
When Professor Estelle Sinclair arrives, she is in awe of Castle Clough's beautiful antiques. But when she finds out about Rob's plight from a helpful spirit, she joins him in his fight, and falls head over heels in love. As Estelle and Rob search for a way to save Castle Clough, they get a glimmer of hope from their spirit helper, the ghost of a young boy named Jamie. If Jamie can just lead them to the "Star of Scotland", a priceless diamond lost hundreds of years ago; their problems would be solved. But does the Star of Scotland really exist? And if so, will they be able to find it before Castle Clough is lost to the Cameron family forever?
This was a heart-warming tale containing a truly lovely romance and just the right dose of fantasy. I loved everything about it!

"Starry, Starry Night" by Marianne Willman is an excellent tale that rounds out the book perfectly. Lily Kendall is on a much-needed vacation in St. Dunstan's village in Cornwall. When she takes a nighttime walk along the beach, she gets caught by the rising tide, and narrowly escapes a watery grave because of a star-shaped window and the help of a handsome and mysterious man. The man, Rees Tregarrick, takes Lily home, leaves her with his housekeeper then rudely disappears. But when Lily awakes the next morning, she is no longer in Rees' home, but instead in a museum where Rees Tregarrick lived over a hundred years ago. Confused and off-balance, Lily is convinced it was all a dream.
Several more encounters with Rees, however, convince Lily that she has somehow found a doorway into the past. But Lily has fallen deeply in love with Rees, and wants to spend her life with him. Are Rees and Lily destined to spend separate, lonely lives yearning for what can never be? Or is their love strong enough to overcome time itself?
This is beautifully written and captivating tale that left me sighing over the magic of true love.

"Once Upon a Star" is a superior romance anthology that doesn't contain even one poor story. I loved all the tales in this book, and I highly recommend it. This is a terrific read and one you definitely don't want to miss!

THIS WAS A DEFINITE BOOK WITH MANY STORIES THAT I COULD NOT PUT DOWN UNTIL I HAD READ THEM ALL. THE PLOTS WERE GOOD , THE CHARACTORS WERE BELIEVABLE, AND THE LENGH OF EACH STORY WAS RIGHT. WONDERFUL READING!

"Once Upon a Castle" is a fabulous anthology by four very talented romance authors.

In Nora Roberts' "Spellbound," Calin travels to Ireland and ends up at the front door of the bewitchingly beautiful Bryna. Together, in the culmination of a thousand year spell, these two must fight an evil sorcerer who can only be conquered by true love. Calin must return Bryna's love freely, or the evil sorcerer will triumph and all will be lost. This is written in true NR style and will have readers captivated.

Next is Jill Gregory's "Castle Doom," in which Arianne sets out on a mission to save her brother Marcus from his evil captor, Julian. She finds an ally in Nicholas, an old friend of her brother, and together they must fight the evil Julian in order to save Marcus and free the people from his tyranny. In the midst of their dangerous plight, Arianne and Nicholas unexpectedly fall in love. This story was suspenseful and romantic and highly entertaining.

In "Falcon's Lair" by Ruth Ryan Langan, Felicity travels from her home in America to Ireland to help Oliver, an old friend of her father, with a terrible curse. Something is not quite right in this majestic old castle and Felicity finds help from a handsome spirit (Gareth). With Gareth's help Felicity begins to see that this home is filled with betrayal and sets out to save Oliver and his son. However Gareth and Felicity fall in love and break the rules that govern Gareth to be together, for which there will be dire consequences. This story will touch your heart and leave you believing in magic.

The final story is "Dragonspell" by Marianne Willman and I think this one was my favourite (it's just so hard to choose because they are all so good!). Princess Tressalara, with the help of 2 sorcerer's apprentices and a dashing and dangerous rebel named Cador, sets out to reclaim her kingdom from the evil usurper, Lector. Tressalara joins Cador's rebel camp originally as Trev, a young boy, but Cador immediately sees beneath her plain clothes and dirty face to the beautiful woman beneath. Cador and Tressalara fall head over heels in love with each other and enjoy a wonderful romance that readers will love. This tale will sweep you away to the magical land of Amelonia and leave you feeling fulfilled and satisfied.

This is an absolutely superior anthology. If you enjoy a good "happily ever after" and a bit of magic then you will LOVE this book. All four stories are well-written and lots of fun. You will be sad to see this one come to an end!

Escape into these four wonderful tales of magic and romance. I stayed up late reading these four tales late into the night, making me very tired for my classes the next day. I would recommend this book to anyone, who like I, has never outgrown fairy tales and still dreams that a world of castles, princes, and those magical words "they lived happily ever after" exists.

I recently reread this book over Christmas and enjoyed it once again. This is a sweet, heartwarming romance involving a family, displaced by the Civil War, that is trying to start over out West. The love story of Lizzy and Cody was very touching. It could have been a bit more emotional and a little less lustful for my taste, but it was still a good story. Why did I give only 3 stars to a book I enjoyed? The book is a good read, but the characters could have been fleshed out a little more. Sometimes I felt like I was being told rather than shown how the lovers and the families loved each other.

I liked the story line and if the author does read her reviews which I hope she does.. I really enjoy your style of writing. I'm also hoping that you might consider writing stories that involve Michigan? Maybe a historical one? Thanks!

When I first read this book I was throughly enchanted. I read it over and over until it fell apart and I had to get a new one. Ruth Langan spins a magical story when magic is at it's best

Worth 3,5 stars, but I gave 3. This is cowboys, ranches and poor ladys. It has some interesting scenes, but somehow lacked a passion. The brothers were good, they had nice relationship. I liked the way everybody else knew right away when something had happened between hero and heroine(..our relatrionship is a worst-kept-secret in this ranch...). I didn't like the villain and had sometimes a feeling of seeing this before in the old westerns (or Dallas). Cowboy lovers dream... all the others find a more modern book. But definitely worth buying the brothers stories as well.

I don't normally read anything but historical romance novels but I didn't have a chance to get any new books and a friend gave this one to me. I couldn't put it down and can't wait to read the other books in the series. It's a good buy -

If all woman could find a man like that, purely by "chance", every woman in the U. S. would be fleeing to Wyoming! This was a great read, full of romance and adventure. I like suspence thrillers the most, and romance novels second. This book gave me the best of both worlds. I just wish it had been longer!
