I really enjoyed reading htis book. Her writting reminds my a lot of Rachel Gibson (whom I love). It was just a really good read.

Will ppl PLEASE stop giving away every detail of the book in their review....re harriet klausner? You ruin every book for me by revealing the entire story line. You can review a book without giving away the entire plot!

Not for kids due to a wee bit of graphic content. The plot was fun and well done. The characters have real life issues that are not in the "perfect male or perfect female " characters that you see in a majority of novels today. Enjoyable read!

I thought the book started out fine just like a romance novel. But the story went in so many ways that it started to be too much detail and not enough dialog. The story kept changing from third person to first person. I skimmed the last 100 pages skipping many chapters. I did not miss much. The book neverended it just droned on. The author had a great idea for a plot. I would have liked more of a "beach read".

Sorry but as a teacher of English, I refused to continue reading when the author went from third tense to first at the start of Chapter 3. Then Chapter 4 was back in third. In future chapters, she used both tenses, switching like they were windshield wipers.
One of the FIRST rules of narrative fiction is pick a tense and stick to it.
Epic fail.

The first 1/3 of this book was so boring...it seemed to drag on forever. It was entirely too much back story. I wanted so badly to quit reading, but I have never quit in the middle of the book. I forced myself to keep going and eventually the story picked up. However, it was really predictable. The characters were nothing special, and neither was the storyline. I can't say I'd recommend this book, but I can't say not to read it either...just be prepared to ne bored out of your mind at yhe beginning.

This book is just so...British. I was constantly looking up phrases ("pop socks"? Huh?!) I found it rather slow in the first half...I mean, you KNOW what's going to happen from the premise, but it takes SO long to happen! The author could have started the book at the point of the incident that sends our heroine away from London...we would have gotten the gyst of it from a few pages of flashbacks. Choppy in parts, too much detail where it isn't needed, not enough where it actually is needed. Okay but not great.

A romantic novel with more depth and heart than than a dime store romance. The British setting and vocabulary freshens it up and gives the story added legitimacy. All in all it is an entertaining read perfect for vacation.

I had high hopes for this book, but was disappointed. This is the first book ever that i didnt finish. It moved so slow and all the british phrases were hard to understand. I had to look the meaning up and it took away from the story.

British phraseology throughout book. Lots of new vocabulary to look up while reading.

I hate to not finish what I've started when it comes to reading but I gave this book to the hundreth page to decide if I would finish it or not. It was really slow going at the start and somewhat boring but luckily right around the hundreth page things picked up a little bit and I did finish it. It wasn't bad. The two secrets that were eventually revealed by the two main characters kept me interested and I even learned a little bit about the history of the precious stone Tanzanite. I'm eager to look it up and see for myself what all the fuss is about. Thanks again B&N for another decent Free Friday read.

Horrible writing. Couldnt stay focused on what I was trying to understand. Had to stop reading and DELETE this book after 4 chapters. There is an hour of reading I will never get back
|
|
Alot of new phrases to try and look up due to British quotes that I did not know. Was slow getting into and I felt like I was jumping all over the place. Definately, not a high recommend on this book unless you get right into and enjoy it from the beginning. I had to force myself to finish.

The reviews I read were either fantastic 5 stars or horrible 1 star. I come down in the middle. It is a cute little story about first love rediscovered and conquering obstacles. Some complained about the sex, it wasn't that graphic or frequent. One downside for the American reader would be the "British" vocabulary. I was able to follow the story quite well with only the occasional pause to figure out a phrase or word. if the reader must know the meaning of each word or phrase, and is not English this might be a tedious book for them.

I enjoyed this book as the author writes very well and tells a great story. It captured my attention and was an excellent read. Thanks

Not bad.
What you'd expect of a Brit chick lit.
Don't know how true to reality it is but it was interesting to read how Petra and her jewelry-maker friends work.
I even gained new perspective in reading the difficulties Petra faces as a sleepwalker.
Story flowed well - even with the flashbacks - and it was an easy read.

This was a free book which alone made it good. It was a little slow but the pace picked up once the couple reunited. I enjoy reading this type of novel from British authors, most are easy to follow but this particular author is very into British slang, in which case I am left hanging. Overall, enjoyable, light read.

It was okay read, she needs a good editor, the story got a little lost. There was a lot of detail that got in the way of the story. The main characters were a little sappy and it took a long time for them to get moving.
|
|
I found it to be a fun book to read.
|
|
I didn't really get into this book until about half way through. Too many British terms for easy reading. Perhaps I should stay with American authors.

I will always try to finish a book but this one became impossible for me. I read the first few chapters but the style of writing left much to be desired. The story line was uninteresting and character developement was weak. I will delete without finishing.

The ending is more interesting than the beginning. It kind of 'dragged' in places
|

This book is the most put-downable book I have read in a long time. Is just never grabbed me. It is wonderful that the strangle hold the publishers had on the market is diminished, but unfortunately, quality is too. In all fairness, this is the first of Freya North's books that I have read. It is possible later books reflect increased technique.
