It was as if she kept wanting to end it, didnt know how, so added another caper. It could have been nearly a hundred pages shorter and I dont think it would have lessened the story.Weaving the story of Homers "Odyssey" throughout the novel was an interesting touch (especially
I have to say, I have yet to read a Julie Garwood novel that I don't love, but there was something special about Honor's Splendour that makes it stand out in my mind and has made it one of my favorite reads.Garwood's books feature women who, though they might not know it at the time, are strong, honorable, compassionate and very wise.

This was just perfect. Not perfect per se, but perfect for me. After my reading slump I discovered this book by chance and I'm so glad I decided to read it.I'm in love with the story. I adore the Hero and the way he loves the Heroine. He's protective, gentle and there are NO other love/lust interests for him. He knows exactly what he wants and isn't afraid to let himself feel.

The Hero- Duncan is typical Garwood hero material. He is big and strong and a mighty warrior. He made me laugh so much because of his
I loved this historical fiction by Julie Garwood. It has what one look in a historical fiction; the historical setting, intrigue, romance, suspense and a well laid plot. I loved the hero and heroine and those who were on their side and hated passionately the villain and his party. :) It is quite amazing when a book arouses your emotions with such intensity; all the credit goes to the author for such beautiful writing and creativity.
