There are 6 books in total with all books following the same vampire family. These are romantic vampire novels. Each book is based on one of The Brotherhood Brothers. Even though each includes them all they are directed at one in particular and the major events that effects them. I had never heard of these books or the author ...

Advantages: Hard to put down, Heart-warming
Disadvantages: It is not the same as the film

A Walk to Remember is one of those books that can be very hard to put down, it has to be said that this is a trait for all of Nicholas Sparks books. I was initially disappointed with A Walk to Remember, having been a big fan of the film it seemed a shame that the book is quite different. However this was no longer an issue once I got in to the story. The story is heart-wrenching and very capable of producing tears from even the most cold hearted ...

This romance suffers a twist of fate that leads it in a direction that neither would have imagined and turns Landon into ... Read review

Advantages: Beautiful language; interesting plot premise
Disadvantages: Plot neglected to allow characters thinking time

At the heart of this story is a worm of a secret that burrows so deep it tears a family apart. Layered over this core are the histories of several alternately sympathetic and irritating characters. After delivering his (unexpected) twins, Doctor David Henry is disturbed to realise that, although the boy is perfect, the girl is a 'classic' 'mongoloid'. Much of the interest in this section springs from the dispassionate way in which he handles this ...
...David has instructed to hand the child over to an institution to live out (what he imagines) will be a short and pain filled life. All this is achieved before Norah, David's wife, even awakens after the birth. When she does, David impulsively tells her that Phoebe died at birth. It is this secret that will rub away at their relationship over the ensuing years. Caroline Gill, a lonely nurse who harbours feelings for the doctor, cannot bear to hand ... Read review

Advantages: Full of adventure, not too long a story
Disadvantages: None

I love Belinda Jones books and once again she has failed to disappoint me. I really enjoy how she manages to make you feel as tho you're there with the characters and also makes you feel as tho, in some ways, you're the leading lady being swooned by a lovely greek man. You can also tell that Belinda hadn't just written a story, you could see how much research she has put into writing this book as she mentions the myths of the greek gods and how different ...
...book down until i had read the whole thing hich proved to be difficult as i was at work when i read it. After i had finished reading the book it made me want to hop on a plane and go and visit this wonderful greek island. The way that she describes everything is so colourful and she doesn't over describe things and lets your imagination run wild. I found it to be slightly predictive but some of the events which happened came a total surpise to me. ... Read review

Advantages: Romantic, escapist fiction, made me cry like a baby!

...with her soulmate, the gentle and hard-working country boy? The book only took a day to read, but more than once I found myself waking up from the novel's thrall with tears rolling down my cheeks. Though the language is simple, even clumsy, it does allow the emotion and the love between the characters to shine out with a radiance that transcends the words on the page, making it more moving and electrifying than ever. It reminds the reader of the ... Read review
