Strangers at the Altar by Marguerite Kaye

If the characters are sensible, this story would end on a high note by page 50. So, they are not sensible, and I am not happy.

This is a readable story, but a bit too precious for me. The dead horse of a plot kind of spoils the fun too.

This book has issues… some not so good ones, but some good ones as well. And it makes me laugh out loud, so that’s good.

Freedom fighters! Ships! Sword fights! Well, scratch that, toss them away from a more typical story instead. Sigh.

It has ships and murder, and yet I feel like I’m trapped in some kind of wake where I don’t even know the fellow who died.

Irritant’s Babysitter is a more accurate title for this story, but I guess it won’t be as marketable.

Oh, we have an almost winner here. Never mind, here’s all my hugs and kisses anyway.

Jane Feather almost returns to top form here. This one has a heroine that breaks all the rules, shame that the tale doesn’t entirely deliver.

Another very average Christmas anthology.

Unoriginal, predictable, familiar, conventional… but I love almost every minute of it. Oh, be quiet or I’ll IP-ban you from here.
