Mansaadi - Sandra Nkake

Advantages: A very good reader
Disadvantages: You may not be able to put it down!

...Sandra Brown is my favourite author so whilst I'm always a little biased when I read one of her novels, I am very rarely disappointed and I wasn't this time either. The novel is extremely well crafted and has several twists to the tale that you don't see coming. You think you have it sussed then something happens to pull the rug from underneath you.

Advantages: Good storyline and a good potrayal of characters.
Disadvantages: Too many bedroom scenes when one or two would have been enough. Gets a bit stretchy therefore.

...For all those who are suckers for romance stories, i am, Sandra Brown's books are a must read though i personally feel that this one is just a bit over the top. However if you were not too critical the book is a real good read and you would be able to identify with Caroline Dawson and Rink the protagonists of the book. It is a rich boy poor girl fall in love story. Its got its moment with another romance that of rink's sister Jane and the stable hand Steve thrown in. The housekeeper Haney is really faithful to the household and she sure wins your heart. Kept away for so many years the lovers cannot help but feel the chemistry when Rink comes home to find Caroline now married to his dad, the same person who kept them apart all this years, who is on his deathbed. A book with twists and turns, though few, but one which will have you glued... Read review
