Review: A
Daring Sacrifice is sort of Robin Hood with a twist. And
that part of the book was my favorite. I like strong heroines who can
stand up for their own. What Juliana does, especially at that time and
place, is worthy of praise. Colin also steps into the role of knight in
shining armor flawlessly and his dialogs with Juliana are priceless.
I found the whole setting of the book a little less realistic than the
other two in the series (A Daring Sacrifice is book two, but it can be
read stand alone or out of order, like I did). In the end all issues are
resolved too quickly and too effortlessly - and I doubt in real life
that could happen. And there are several other places in the story where
readers could benefit from a little more detail.
And
that's the only reason I'm rating A Daring Sacrifice with four instead
of five stars. Still, it is a lovely romance story and I recommend it.
Happy readings,
