Descripción del producto

In this RITA-winning medieval romance inspired by Hitchcock’s Rear Window, a soldier heals from a broken leg in the London home of a young widow who steals his heart—but his future rests on an arranged marriage to his lord’s daughter. Originally published by NAL.

Won Romance Wrters of America’s RITA Award for Best Long Historical Romance. Nominated by Romantic Times magazine for Best Historical Romantic Mystery. Made the Ingrams A-List of Top 50 Requested Titles for four weeks.

“Patricia Ryan moves Rear Window to medieval London, and does things Hitchcock never dreamed of! Fresh, swift and sexy, Silken Threads strengthens Ms. Ryan’s reputation as an outstanding author of medieval romances.” New York Times bestselling author Mary Jo Putney

“Silken Threads resonates with the sounds, smells, intrigues and passions of the Middle Ages. Add engaging characters, authentic historical details and a well-crafted mystery and you have a delectable tapestry whose threads glide like silk through the pages.” Romantic Times

“Patricia Ryan is back with another dazzling medieval romance! Proving herself to be a remarkable storyteller, Patricia Ryan spins a tale of romance and mystery that will thrill readers. With a host of wonderful secondary characters to round out the complex plot, Ms. Ryan keeps readers guessing—and turning pages—right up till the end! This is a very special and original novel from one of romance’s finest authors. Don’t miss it.” The Literary Times

“This is a rich and rewarding book. The characters are fully realized, the setting is impeccably accurate, and the mystery kept me guessing....Silken Threads is romance at its best. This one goes on my keeper shelf.” The Romance Reader

“This medieval take on Hitchcock’s movie Rear Window is simply superb! The secondary characters add as much to the story as the hero and heroine, and the author’s sense of atmosphere is impeccable. Ms. Ryan is a superb stylist with words who weaves the silken threads of her latest medieval romance into a complex tapestry of mystery, suspense and passion. If you haven’t tried this author’s books (historical or contemporary), don’t wait any longer. This one is fantastic and not to be missed!” Tanzey Cutter, The Old Book Barn Gazette

“A real page-turner, this one will keep readers guessing right to the surprising conclusion.” Bell, Book & Candle

5.0 de un máximo de 5 estrellas Wonderful Medieval romance 27 de noviembre de 1999
Por Bonnie Gilbert - Publicado en Amazon.com
Formato:Libro de bolsillo
I was so thrilled when I started this book because it is set in 12th century London. I was in London at the time I started it and could look on my map where Milk Street was, I could imagine what it looked like, I had just toured the Tower of London. And to think this book was thrown into my suitcase as an afterthough.

Graeham Fox is sent to London to retreive his overlord's daughter from her abusive husband. While in London, before retreiving the daughter, he is attacked and left for dead. He is found and brought to the house of the widow Joanna Chapman.

Graeham knows he must still rescue Ada from her abusive husband, and the room that Joanna puts him in is perfect for spying on everything going on around him. Graeham makes arrangements with Joanna to stay in the room for the next two months while he recouperates and he can watch the goings on of all his neighbors. Joanna reluctantly agrees, but doesn't let Graeham know she is a widow because she is fearful for her safety.

Little by little the two fall in love, Graeham eventually finds out about Joanna's maritial state and the two become lovers. But what about the daughter of his overlord's hand in marriage if he can rescue her twin from her evil husband?

This is a wonderful Medieval romance and I highly recommend it. Along with the twists and turns and many things you won't expect, it has a wonderful romance that you won't soon forget.

If you've never tried any of this authors stuff, you might think this was a great read. Actually, compared with what most romance writers are writing these days it is not a bad book. However, if you compare this work with her other books like, WILD WIND and HEAVEN'S FIRE, you'll see a huge difference.

May contain SPOILERS:

To the point, this is a story about a mercenary solider who's being sent to London to rescue the illegitimate daughter of his leiged Lord. In return, his liege lord will reward him with his twin daughter's hand in marriage, along with some rich estate/land. On his mission, he's ambushed... and is rescued by the heroine's brother, after meeting the heroine, he spends most of his time laying in bed, lieing to the heroine to accomplish his goals so he may marry the rich daughter for his gain.

This is where it starts to drag. The whole book is told mainly within 2 months and within those months, the hero is immobile since his leg is broken. He's stuck in the heroine's tiny stockroom, while the heroine lives and works in her tiny house. This sounds quite quaint in the beginning but just imagine, the whole book (mostly) takes place in this tiny house, with nothing really happening between them....or to other people. It was tedious.

Then we have the heroine who's a young widow trapped in a dowdy, ugly dress, who always covered up, I didn't find her easy to connect with. She's been conned into marrying a user, a abuser and still after the death of her husband remained a gullible fool.

Through out the whole book, she allows the hero to lie to her over and over, even when she catches him lieing. You won't even see a kissing scene in this book til way past page 250... this book was lacking in everything except fine writing. She is a talented author, her wording is excellent, her plots usually seem seamless... however, in this book, everything was too slow, the heroine/hero really did not have the chemistry. In addition, these two spends most of the book apart, BUT stuck in that small house. The love scenes were boring and uninspiring(unlike her other books, this author can write some lusty scenes, let me tell you).

Would I recommend this book to my friends? No. Would I consider this a huge waste of time? Yes. Would I try her other books? Heck, yea!...

I very nearly didn't buy this book, since I'd never heard of it or its author before. I was shopping on the net, purchasing a whole bunch of other books, when I saw it and thought, 'oh well, that looks mildly interesting,' and decided to toss it into my shopping cart along with the rest.

AND I AM SO GLAD THAT I DID! This book is just lovely. Well written, well plotted, entertaining, heart warming and realistic...what more could I have wanted? Nothing, really, because this had it all.

Technically, this book is a romance, and a really sweet, endearing one at that. Fans of historical romance books will undoubtedly lap it up like a cat would a tasty bowl of cream. But this book should also appeal to a crossover audience of readers who wouldn't normally touch anything in the romance genre too, because it's also a really good, entertaining historical novel with a decent plotline. The love scenes are tastefully done, there's no uncomfortable melodrama, and the characters are genuinely intelligent and likeable--and I don't just mean the main characters, Graeham and Joanna, who are both pretty cool, but also the minor characters, such as the street urchin Adam, who hides an intriguing secret; Thomas, the former harper now turned leper, who was my favourite character; Joanna's charming brother, Hugh, who really should have his own book written about him (I must check and see if there is a book about him, actually); and even Joanna's pet cats, who have real personalities of their own. Oh, and even though this is a historical book, there's even a surprise appearance by someone very famous from our contemporary society...you won't know about it until you've finished the entire book and read the author's note, but when you do that, it will have you wanting to read the book all over again just to find this person (just in case you didn't already want to read it again anyway, which you probably will!)

One of the best things about this book, though, is the front cover. It's a very classy cover for a romance book--one that won't embarrass you if you want to read it on the bus (no stereotypical steroid-induced man-boobs on this one, thankfully!). Whilst at first it just looks like a pleasant, ordinary cover, after you've finished reading the book, and you've read the author's note, the cover's significance will become very clear, and take on new meaning. It's not often that you'll find a book's cover becoming a clever plot twist in the storyline (in fact I can't remember it ever happening before) but that's exactly what happens here.

Intrigued? Of course you are! Then do yourself a favour and read this book. You won't regret it.
