Dumb I thought. <br /><br />This one is more of a believable one and no magic either.

I am so interested in te theories.. And yes obviously some are far fetched but I am one of those who has an open mind and enjoys exploring all possibilites. The time period is so interesting in itself for me, I love to read anything at all in the genre anyway. I don't know why it took me so long to find out about the book, I had known about her other books but this one had fallen through the cracks for some reason, and yet this is the story that intrigues me more than even Anne or Elizabeth (her other books).. Now that I finally have this one I hope to get to actually READ IT danngitBurtonReview https://www.blogger.com/profile/15113347274782450564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319886081447332049.post-17699138621866425022009-10-14T14:26:48.538-07:002009-10-14T14:26:48.538-07:00I have read about 30 pages into Carnation and it w...I have read about 30 pages into Carnation and it was good so far but could easily go bad.

To The Tower Born sounds like a great read, I have added it to my wish list.

I did not get to anything sexual yet but I am interested to see how it pan's out. Romance I can do I just hate the cheezy covers that usually accompany them. <br /><br />I did not know that Miles is closets to the legend. I do want to read Queen of Camelot. I think that is what inspired me to get this one started. <br /><br />I also loved Robin Maxwell's most recent release Signora Da Vinci, a powerful story of a mothers love for her son.

Carnation is light and fluffy and actually in some ways more detailed sexually then other books I have read. While they are not bodice rippers they do have a bit more then I was use to. I would say they are the closest to romance novels Ive read. Overall the series is fun and some books are certainly better then others. I like Carnation and Tulip the best.<br /><br />The Guinevere series is good too. I think part of my view is tainted as I read Queen of Camelot first and loved it and so I see Guinevere, Arthur, and Lancelot in a different view then how they are portrayed by Miles. I read that this series is closest to the real legend that was written. Overall the series was good but I recommend Queen of Camelot so much more. <br /><br />I definitely want to read To the Tower Born sometime as i am fascinated by the lost prince story.Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15623180137232836503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319886081447332049.post-69141858217692892962009-10-08T19:01:21.044-07:002009-10-08T19:01:21.044-07:00I had heard it was kind of "fluffy" but ...I had heard it was kind of "fluffy" but I am one of those that likes fluffy. <br /><br />Let me know what you think of it if you get a chance to read it.Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06610444517085989215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319886081447332049.post-32565073308897903982009-10-08T17:15:30.225-07:002009-10-08T17:15:30.225-07:00I've read the Pink Carnation series and have e...I've read the Pink Carnation series and have enjoyed it.

The type of book where you anxiously await to see what the heck could possible happen next. A bonus was that she portrayed Elizabeth Woodville more like what she really was, mean as heck!<br /><br />I LOVED it!Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06610444517085989215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319886081447332049.post-75105572191684794642009-10-08T15:34:29.225-07:002009-10-08T15:34:29.225-07:00What a timely posting!

I do, however, find Elizabeth Woodville and her family's story. I would love to try out this novel instead.
