Summary: A Chore Rather Than a Pleasure to Read
Comment: Since childhood, Amethyst Greer's life has consisted of caring for her sickly mother and performing with a theater troupe. But when the troupe leaves America for Jamaica aboard Damien Straith's ship, the Sally, Amethyst's life is forever changed.

As she grows into young womanhood in Jamaica, it falls to Amethyst to provide for her ailing mother. And she finds she must face Damien, whom she has never forgiven for his earlier treatment of her, and ask a favor. One that will prolong her mother's life and leave Amethyst and Damien's lives forever intertwined.

With the loss of her mother, Amethyst is comforted but the wealthy plantation owner's son she intends to marry - until Damien arrives on the island once more and announces that Amethyst will not be marrying William because she belongs to him.

With Amethyst aboard ship as his mistress, Damien sets sail for America and the life waiting for him there. But Amethyst's heart still aches for Jamaica and William. Can Damien and Amethyst put aside pride, anger, and past hurt to forge a harmonious union or will Amethyst, a soiled woman, be cast out penniless from the man who ruined her?

"Love's Fiery Jewel" was a chore rather than a pleasure to read. The characters in this novel are motivated by anger, arrogance, and spite and their relationship falters in this quagmire of negativity. Damien and Amethyst cannot convince one another of their love - and they don't convince the reader, either. Pass on this one!

Summary: Wonderful romance
Comment: I have been reading romance books for over 20 years and I have to say that this book is one of the best. Elaine Barbieri has the ability to provide conflict between the two main characters, Amethyst and Damien, resulting in a spellbinding, page turning plot. Damien's character is chauvanistic, but we can forgive him because he is seeping with male vitality. As the characters move from Philidelphia to Jamacia, we experience all the details from climate to clothing and we feel we are there too. If you like historical romance, this book won't disappoint you.
