3 1/2 stars. Josselin's mother died on the battlefield, fighting the English, trying to avenge her husband's murder. The three kinsmen who found her body brought her home, only to discover a small child, now orphaned. The brothers raised tiny Josselin as their own, teaching her to read, write, fight, and hate the English. Drew MacAdam's father was at that same battle, when he came across a Scottish maid so badly injured she implored him to kill her to end her suffering. He did, then felt such remorse over killing a woman that shortly thereafter he took his own life. Drew was raised by his uncles to hate the Scots and trained in sword skills. Josselin is in Edinburgh to see the arrival of Mary, the new Scottish Queen. Her uncles have agreed to let her go, provided she dresses as a man and avoids trouble. Drew abhors fighting, and prefers to beat the Scots at their own game - golf. He is in Edinburgh at this time, disguised as a highlander to avoid the troubles of being English. Josselin is upset by some of the catcalls at the new Queen and jumps to her defense - calling attention to herself and potentially getting herself killed. Drew jumps in to assist and outs her as a woman. The Queen is impressed and sends her servant with a message for Josselin. Of course Drew is intrigued, and fears Josselin is too naive to handle her change in circumstance. He feels duty-bound to keep an eye on her. Josselin is suspicious of Drew and wants to keep an eye on him. Add a bit of attraction, three uncles and three fathers, and a bit of political intrigue and bam! nothing goes the way it was planned... My thoughts: This was a really cute read. I felt very lighthearted as I read Seduced by Destiny. I liked "Jossy" and Drew, even though they were both a bit irritating in their surety that they were smarter/better at swords than the other. Their passion, once ignited, was certainly hot, and I rooted for these two to have an HEA, despite their differences. The descriptions of their surroundings, the flirting back and forth between the h/h, and the stubborn uncles/fathers made for entertaining reading. The political intrigue portion of the story fell a bit weak in parts, but overall I read Seduced by Destiny with a smile.

** spoiler alert ** I liked the overall style in which this was written...it was interesting to read about the time period and area where the story took place, but I found Andrew to be quite an annoying and exhausting character, and I felt that he took so much away from Margaret and all that she could have been. I guess I was just disappointed in the ending, I had hoped that Margaret would have stood up for erself a bit more.

Recently realized I hadn't kept up with Van Name's Jon and Lobo series, in fact, I was two books behind. Since Van Name's One Jump Ahead goes on the shortlist of contenders for Best First Novel, and I thought Slanted Jack was also a fine piece of work, this needed to be addressed. Overthrowing Heaven does not disappoint. Not only is it a perfectly serviceable SF caper novel, it also gives us a window into Lobo's history and marks a distinct turning point in the relationship between a man and his sentient starship/flying tank.

Great book, but I had a hard time sticking with it. I stopped and started it about 3 times. It gives great incite, and I'm glad I read it.

The best part of this book is that it's a quick and easy reference manual. I particularly liked the charts and lists of pregnancy ailments. That's helpful - especially when you're suffering from one of them and couldn't find it easily in any other pregnancy book! It's not the week-to-week variety type of book, but still very useful for a quick overview and refresher course!

Ein Krimi in bester skandinavischer Tadition. Für Interessenten des nordischen Genres ein unbedingtes Muß.

100 Secret Senses by Amy Tan This book was great. A real page turner. For me it was the perfect combination of spirituality and reality combining. It was also great to read about how your past culture and your present American culture can collide and also feel so distant from each other. Amy Tan is a brilliant writer. I’ve liked almost everything of hers that I have read to date.

This is a really good book. This is for sure a girly book. It is a bout a princess, who has a failing heart, and a peasant. They are friends, but will they become more? And will the princess find her perfect heart? Read this book to find out. This is a book that I will suggest to 3rd-6th graders. I really liked this book because it was a romantic book. I remember when I was in 3rd grade, I had this book read to me. I will, and always love this book.

Had to write a letter to a young self-poet in a class... it was a great exercise. Definitely a great read.

I read it when it came out in serialized form -- it was a fun idea and a good read. I haven't re-read it uninterrupted to see if that changes the quality of the experience.
