I really wanted to like this book The synopsis seemed to have everything I was looking for romance mystery intrigue But unfortunately it never really seems to reach the level I was hoping for. Ransomed Jewels booklet To begin with I really couldn t like either of the main characters Samuel is quick to accuse Claire of all manner of things from being a traitor to an adulterer and later a manipulator and he never takes the time to consider another option or hear her out He just opens up and lets the accusations fly which of course put Claire s back up until they end up in a fight Then Claire I understand she has had to put a facade on for years with other people but it irritated me to no end the way she simply wouldn t put her foot down and demand that Samuel listen to her It seems the only time she shows any sort of backbone is when it comes to her brother The mystery part of this story is ok It has its moments when things take a turn you wouldn t expect However I found the main twist to be so improbable and yes downright impossible that it almost ruined the entire story for me Unfortunately I can t go into a lot of detail because it IS a major spoiler but suffice to say something happened that I cannot fathom actually happening but even if the author kept that part in the book she could have taken it in an entirely different direction that would have made a bit sense In fact the majority of this novel would have been completely different if people had just been honest with each other from the beginning Overall I am sure that this story will appeal to a variety of people and the things that I did not enjoy about it will be someone else s cup of tea I would give this author a second chance however if there had been to this series I would not have continued on DISCLAIMER 1 This novel does include scenes of a sexual nature that occur before marriage I mention this only because I know it is a complete turn off for some readers and feel that they should be informed. Ransomed jewelsmith inc DISCLAIMER 2 I received a complimentary copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review This has not affected my review in any way All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are 100% my own Laura Landon ARC provided by the Publisher Montlake and NetGalley I liked this It was enjoyable and there were a lot of elements of Sam s life as a spy I liked that Claire was capable that she was strong and that most importantly the men in her life treated her like she was intelligent enough to know what was going on around herwell except for her late husband but as we never see them interact in the story that really doesn t matter. Ransomed jewels historical fiction book The story revolves around spies traitors jewels and stolen paperwork I liked the twists and turns in this one and I was actually surprised as to who the traitor turned out to be I was convinced it was another character entirely This was nice as this is usually something I find obvious. EBook Ransomed jewels grocery The romance was mostly clean there was sex but the description of it was essentially as much of a fade to black as possible without actually doing so which worked in the story. Kindle Ransomed jewels osco The characters were well developed the plot was tight and the pace was good I enjoyed the author s writing style This was my first Laura Landon and I am looking forward to others by her Laura Landon DescriptionWith her husband s dying words My marchioness has it the Marchioness of Huntingdon is thrown into a nightmare of intrigue and danger But even those who are holding her brother ransom can t force her to do the impossible hand over a necklace she doesn t have.

EBook Ransomed jewels weekly Claire knows she can t trust anyone but she isn t given a choice when Major Bennett arrives demanding she give him the necklace And it isn t until she s forced to put her life in his hands that she realizes it isn t only her life she s in danger of losing but her heart as well. Ransomed Jewels epub file My Thoughts This one perplexed this reader It started out very slowly opening the story with immediate violence I was almost sure at that point I would not even be able to finish reading the book I eagerly accepted Ransomed Jewels is another emotionally charged story with loads of tension and angst Since the book description is enticing and sets up the story well I am not going to do a brief synopsis. Ransomed Jewels Literature fiction books The story is interesting but it did not grab me as Ms Landon s books normally do As always the romance is very well written and the style is smooth For some reason I had a difficult time truly liking Claire and Samuel They were at such odds for 95% of the book I grew a bit irritated at the amount of angst Just when I thought they were reaching an understanding then it would go off in another direction. Ransomed jewels literature fictional Claire s character has many things I admire in a heroine She is determined to protect her loved one at great personal cost Unfortunately she holds her cards so tightly to her chest it annoyed me If Claire had opened up to the hero and told him what had her paralyzed with fear it would have helped me like her better. Ransomed Jewels pdf editor Samuel tended to jump to conclusions without questioning Claire to make sure he fully understood her actions This made it hard for me to like his character Now he is honorable and loyal almost to his detriment and feels protective of Claire even though he suspects that she is willing to betray her country Those are normally traits I love in a hero but no matter how much I wanted to like him I could not. Book Ransomed jewels weekly I did enjoy the historical history sprinkled expertly sprinkled in regarding the Crimean War That is a period of English history I did not know as much about and enjoyed the machinations that must have been going on between England and Russia.

Ransomed jewels historical fiction book I have listened to a couple of books by this author in the past and I confess to having been somewhat underwhelmed by the stories In both those cases however Ms Landon was fortunate in having excellent narrators Rosalyn Landor in Silent Revenge and James Langton in A Risk Worth Taking both of whose performances were than good enough to paper over some of the cracks in the storytelling so I thought I d give this latest offering a try. Book Ransomed jewels osco Ransomed Jewels sees Rosalyn Landor at the helm once again and a very fine job she does of bringing to life a story which while enjoyable for the most part was at times so frustrating as to have made me want to bang my head against the wall. Ransomed jewelsure login I ve read a couple of books with this theme and I can honestly say I didn t like them Sam tells Claire that the necklace he thinks she has could save thousands of lives but all she cares about is her brother who has been kidnapped by the owner of the necklace and he wants it back That makes her looks selfish when it comes to all the soldiers she could save BUT it s still understandable that she wants to save her brother At 17% I was wondering if the author was going to make us read 300 pages of them arguing over this stupid necklace and if that s the way it was going to be I wasn t going to read the remainder of the book As I went along it was rather silly how Claire kept telling herself she should tell Sam about Alex being kidnapped and then she d talk herself out of it Again and again this went on I hate repetitiveness that just makes up the page count in a book. Ransomed jewelstreet Overall this was a decent read and a pretty good mystery but it was nearly ruined by Sam being so freaking dense Talk about someone being TSTL Good grief that man got so many things wrong it was unbelievable Sooo many misunderstandings and angst As much as I liked the spies the mystery the search for the traitor this author is way to angsty for me It was made much better by keeping you guessing as to who the traitor was until the end and I was really shocked. Ransomed jewelspun aran As to the narration I know a lot of you are fans of Rosalyn Landor and think she can do no wrong BUT her male voices are just terrible The men sound like they re constipated or something and trying to grunt through it This could have been a fantastic book with a different narrator Even with all her emotions she reads with she really needs to work on her male voices Laura Landon I received an eARC from NetGalley and the publisher.
