Colette Trilogy

review 1: I highly recommended this trilogy (A Silent Ocean Away is the first of three) for lovers of Historical Romances. It has all the elements to sweep you away: one brother, Paul, is a handsome, lusty rogue, and the other brother, John Duvoisin is a tormented, snarky anti-hero. (I have a big soft spot for the tormented, snarky, anti-hero types which might be why I gave this 5 stars. Hmmm.) Torn between the two is the innocent governess, Charmaine Ryan. The Duvoisin family's past of love, hatred, and betrayal; the strange twists of fate; plus figuring out which one this orphaned heroine will or should choose will keep the pages turning. Sprinkled with humor and some tear-jerker moments, I give *4 stars* for the whole trilogy. And be sure to have the second book "Decision... more and Destiny" ready at your fingertips. These novels are not standalone reads but have irresolute endings and should be read, ideally, one after the other. It had been originally published as one complete book. I found the Colette Trilogy a nice surprise and a very good first effort by the Gantt sisters.
review 2: I don't typically read historical/romance fiction, but I really enjoyed this book. I met the authors at a Borders book signing, and this was an impulse buy. I was impressed by the passion for their work and the story of its conception -- an endeavor that spanned 30 years.At the start, I found the writing to be a little too descriptive, such that it was distracting, but as I got involved in the characters and the drama, the book was engrossing. The writing is very cohesive and the two authors' styles blend seamlessly. The historical aspect created a interesting, believable setting, but is not core to the book. The intrigue is ever-present, but the pacing is steady, which makes the story more absorbing than page-turning. The first volume does not have a definitive ending though, but neither does it end on a cliff hanger. I'm looking forward to the next book in the trilogy (likely, making a trip to the bookstore for it tonight). less
