review 1: Here's the thing - the story and characters are great. Very likeable - though I take exception to the descriptions of her in other reviews as ugly and fat. She is actually described as being exceptional in appearance with some curves, but has low self esteem. The idea seems to be that she is very naturally pretty, in contrast to the more tawdry looks of some of her rivals. Certainly an idea pretty common in romance novels. I do agree with other reviewers that she spends an awful lot of time in tears. Or screaming. It gets old.What pulls down the rating a lot are the editing issues. Throughout the book, I had the persistent sense that the author is not a native English speaker - the examples are too numerous to list, but suffice it to say, sentence structure and word choice... mores are often very odd. The story line is good enough to pull you through the awkwardness and keep you reading, but only just barely.
review 2: Amber Dane's Gem of Gravane is perfect. Aric is the quintessential Knight; he is tough, protective, chivalrous and has a hidden softness about him. Danielle is the ultimate heroine; strong, stubborn, spunky and sexy with her voluptuous curves. Once I started reading Gem, I couldn't put it down. It is well-written, thorough and intriguing. Dane has created a classic - as engaging and enthralling as Jude Deveraux and Johanna Lindsey.Dane adds humor in her dialogue and story-telling that makes this medieval romance as fun a read as it is mysterious and thrilling. I fell in love with Aric and Danielle and found myself part of their unique story. I cannot wait for the next book in Amber Dane's The Northern Knights Series. less
