Review: ANOTHER EXCITING RE-ISSUED EDITION!
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 07 1, 2014
There are several things which pull me to a book. Beautiful cover, enticing blurb and a title that means something, and not just about anything – for example being named according to the number of books in a series. Tainted Lilies by Becky Lee Weyrich falls into the last and third category, and I was not a bit surprised to discover that it was first published on April 12th 1984 by Fawcett as I was not at all familiar with the author. Thirty years on, the book has been given a new lease of life as it is being brought out in the Kindle format.Tainted Lilies by Becky Lee Weyrich is about a young woman Nicolette Vernet who finds love and life in the arms of an infamous pirate Jean Lafitte much to the chagrin of her father who had promised her to a wealthy but ruthless and greedy man. Nikki and Jean must fight to save their love and lives in this riveting and exciting romantic story written by an author who has written a variety of books spanning various genres, including historical romance, fantasy, saga, gothic, horror, mystery, contemporary and time travel. She was awarded Romantic Times magazine's Lifetime Achievement Award for New Age Fiction 1992, awarded the Certificate of Excellence in Career Achievement in Historical Fantasy and Reviewers' Choice Certificate of Excellence for "Sweet Forever" (Pinnacle Books, May 1992).
