• Maricelle Dingcong from CA (21 Feb 2008)

  Your characters just jump out of the book. I enjoy reading your stories so much because they take me out this time and briefly place me in another. I've always enoyed reading your books and "The Art of Temptation" is no eception. I can't wait to see what you come up with next!

• Susan Gore Gardner from Georgia (24 Dec 2007)

  Merry Christmas, to one of my favorite authors - who also has fine taste in music, a la DA!

• Pamela McCrae from Kirkland, WA (22 Dec 2007)

  The Art of Temptation is by far your best book. Please keeping writing... your books are wonderful. I have passed them to my sister and now she is a devotee.
  Wishing you and your family (and of course, Mocha) a wonderful holiday and best New Year.

• Candy Gorcsi from Brantford,Ontario,Canada (5 Dec 2007)

• Deb from Victor, Iowa (16 Apr 2007)

  Lauren,
  I "discovered" your Jewel trilogy about 2 weeks ago and loved all 3 of the books! I went back to my 2nd hand bookstore that I frequent often and found Lily and Rose. The owner says your books hardly ever come in because they're "keepers"!!
  Thanks for providing a great read and gread stories.

• roseanna flad from rapid city , south dakota (5 Mar 2007)

  LOVE LOVE LOVE your books. i first found you in the anthology in praise of younger men and have been hooked on your books since. can't wait for the last in the temptation series and whatever else you have up your sleeve. keep creating magic.

• Ferne McCavour from Saint John, NB, Canada (17 Feb 2007)

  Hi; just read my first Lauren Royal book, "Tempting Juliana", and have printed out the list to haunt the bookstore with. Can't wait to read her sisters' stories, and the other trilogies as well. Any other seniors out there? I'm 65, and love romances and the Gilmore Girls. I really like the more "liberated" of the heroines!

• Candy Gorcsi from Ontario,Canada (6 Jan 2007)

  Just wanted to wish you A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

• lauren from Glasgow (25 Dec 2006)

  Hello Ms. Royal,
  It was a pleasure visiting your website. I just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed reading your books. This is only my second book that I've read but they are truly fantastic. (Lost in Temptation and Tempting Julianna) I can't wait to hear Corrina's story. Thank you again. You are becoming another of my favorite authors. Congratulations on your success.
  Thanks for listening.
  Frances

• Marty Hart from Tucson AZ (7 Nov 2006)

  Had the pleasure of meeting Lauren at the Celtic Festival in Tucson this weekend. Was a delightful visit. Books are new to me so look forward to reading them all.

• Davina Aida from Malaysia (3 Sep 2006)

  Hi there lauren..
  I really love your books esp. Rose its so romantic makes my heart melts.. really hopes to reads Lily & Viloet but unfortunately they're out of stock in Malaysia..can u help me how to order it anywhere..? thanks...

• See Lo from WISCONSIN (25 Jul 2006)

  I can never put a great book down unless I'm through reading it. Already, I'm a fan and cannot wait for more. Your books are pure entertainment, motivating and makes me look at science another way.

• Mary from Dixon MO (7 Jul 2006)

  I have read both triolgies and I LOVE THEM you are truly a wonderful writer I read both in a week.

• Jennifer McCulloch from Southeast Kansas (10 Jun 2006)

  Lauren, I am an Historical romance nut! I love the way you write and want to read all of your books, if I could just find the time. And your site here is fun and so creative, especially with the recipes. I copied them all out so I could try them. Keep up the wonderful work please!

• rosita from Silver Spring, Maryland (27 May 2006)

  You can have whatever kind of cover you like -- I just LOVE the way you write!
  
  Peace

• Steven Cole from Boston (11 May 2006)

  Your site is very lucky for me!

• Elaine Carlini-Davis from Florida (11 May 2006)

  I looked at your new cover and I'm sorry to say it's not for me.
  I love all your previous covers. This one seems odd. The guy's body is beautiful, but he looks like he's wearing large cuffs with no shirt. Also, the arm holding out a rose seems so posed. Please go back to your previous style of cover.
  Whatever the cover, I'm sure I'll love the book.

• Kathryn from MA (18 Apr 2006)

  I just finished reading Lost In Temptation and all I have to say is:
  
  WOW

• Ashley from Wisconsin (11 Mar 2006)

  I just read Lily, and I thought it was a great book. I think it's really cool how the flower triolgy tells the story of each sister. That is a different direction than most romance writers take. I can't wait to read the other two stories in the trilogy.

• Anita Colliere from Washington D.C. (3 Mar 2006)

  I really enjoyed "Lily". Of course now I have to read all of your books$$$$

• sharon mitts from weatherford tx (14 Feb 2006)

  Lauren, Just read your book "Lily", as usual with me, it is out of sequence but that never bothers me. Have not read any of your books before but am delighted to find another author I enjoy. Am happy that I will be able to "attend" the wedding of Rand and Lily, and then anticipate the husband you find for Rose. Your story was written well, with much humor and wonderfully detailed descriptions! I wish you much continued success. God Bless Sharon Mitts

• Ladyne Swearingen from Panama City, Fl (30 Dec 2005)

  I just finished reading my 1st Lauren Royal book "Rose". Loved it!! The writing flowed and the characters came to life. It's not often you get to read a story like that. Thanks Lauren!

• rosita from Silver Spring, Maryland (30 Dec 2005)

  Lost in Temptation: I LOVED it!!! I love to bake and I will try some of these recipes.
  
  Peace

• Crystal from Royersford,PA (20 Dec 2005)

  Lauren, you're a wonderful author and great person.

• Carol Luciano from West Orange, NJ (15 Nov 2005)

  Carol

• Leslie Swaim from Union Grove, AL (10 Nov 2005)

  I have read the Jewel trilogy and am currently reading Rose in the Flower trilogy. I have loved all the books. They are interesting and exciting. Can't wait to read Lost in Temptation!

• HELEN GIPSON from SHELBYVILLE, TN. (5 Nov 2005)

  I got hooked on the Jewel Trilogy, I am now reading "Rose", the last of the Flower Trilogy, and I'm expecting to find "Lost in Temptation" in my christmas stocking. I love traveling back in time when I read your novels.

• Cathe from Coon Rapids, MN (27 Oct 2005)

  I haven't read any of Lauren's books yet. I just put them all on my list of books to read so as soon as I get some of them read I will let you know what I think of them. Even though I haven't read them yet. I can wait to get started they sound like some really good books. I am addicted to reading and read anywhere from 25-40 books a month. I read so much I had to start a binder of all the books I have read so far by what authors.

• Gerri from Jacksonville, AR (27 Oct 2005)

  I have read Emerald twice. It was such great reading I had a difficult time putting it down to get any work done.
  Thanks

• Natalie Ashby from San Diego, Ca (10 Oct 2005)

  I am not a big reader, in fact I am not a reader at all. I have a busy life and a strict routine to stick to, growing into strong family morals. I have recently landed a wonderful job that has a lot of time on my hands, "to get things done" I love love love the book VIOLET. And all though that is the only book I have read, I have ordered Lauren's whole flower trilogy and gem trilogy.
  Not wanting to get to personal- this book - Violet- has really spiced up the busy life style, if you know what I mean :)
  I wasnt even done with the book and didn't want it to ever end!Wanting it to keep going and going!
  Have you ever thought about making a movie out of one of this Trilogies? Man, that would be awesome!!

• Rachel from Boca Raton, Florida (10 Oct 2005)

  I just read Lost in Temptation and it was great. I can't wait for the next book to come out. Rachel :)

• Jimmie from Citrus Heights, CA (6 Oct 2005)

  Great books, great website!

• Anna from Seattle, WA (21 Sep 2005)

  I stumbled apon Lost in Temptation at my local library and couldn't put it down. Since then I've tracked down your Flower Trilogy and Jewel Trilogy novels and loved everyone of them. I especially appreciated how you tied the two together with Ford Chase! I can't wait to read the rest of your Temptation Trilogy! Thank you!!!!

• Anna from Seattle, WA (21 Sep 2005)

• Reezah from Brakas, Brunei Darussalam (12 Sep 2005)

  Wow! I trully love your book. But sadly i only read Rose from your flower trilogy and Amber from your jewel trilogy. Now im waiting to buy every book you have written in the bookstore near me, so wish me luck!

• Marilyn Janda from Hoover, AL--near Birmingham, AL (10 Sep 2005)

  I read Lost in Temptation a few days ago and I liked it very much. Since I love to cook and to try new recipes I was interested in the recipes that were included in the book. As I read I wondered how they would translate into present day cooking and was pleased to learn that you had included thm in your web site. I did find one mistake. You left out the amount of flour needed in the recipe for Corianders Biscuits!
  I may try one or more of the recipes one of these days.
  
  I visted England a few years ago and loved it. I think it is very nice that you use real places as the inspiration for the estates or castles in your books. Have you ever used Leeds Castle? I visted there and loved it.

• Linda (21 Aug 2005)

  I just finished reading, Lost In Temptation. It was very well written. I liked the history you put in your books. I also enjoyed the humor. I will be reading more of your books. Keep up the great work and thank you for taking us places we might not other wise get to go. God Bless!

• JoAnne from Wisconsin (8 Aug 2005)

  I have read both the Flower Trilogy
  and Jewel Trilogy,and truly enjoyed them, I and am looking
  forword to reading your new Trilogy.
  I was wondering if you have considered putting them on Audiobook Or CD?
  Thanks for the hours of entertainment.

• JoAnne from Glenwood City, WI (before 6 June 2005)

  I didn't know what I was getting into when I bought both series at once, read them in order one right after another, (like reading one continous story).

Just so you know, I read both of those as e-books on my PDA, and BOY do I like being able to do that! (It's so nice to be able to take 10 books with on vacation!) I really enjoy knowing more about the research you've done and all the historical characters with which you lace your stories. I'm looking forward to LOTS more! Thx a lot - I'm glad I found you!!

  Most sincerely,

• Kay Bollom from Wharton, TX (before 6 June 2005)

  I just finished reading (and very much enjoyed) Amber. Question: Were the descriptions concerning the wake festivities in Scotland authentic? I was particularly interested in the part where the recently deceased was propped up and people threw turnips to hit the pipe that had been placed in his mouth. Also the incident where Trick's mother's body was made to move in a effort to scare onlookers was treated as something that was not out of the ordinary. In your research, did you find that things like that really happened? What a hoot! Just when you think you've got it figured out, cultures will turn around and bite you in the you-know-what.

  Having worked in quality control in electronics, I love quality in various forms and I concede that you are into the quality of writing. I loved both your AMETHYST and EMERALD stories. I discovered one of your novels in our Public Library and I am definitely collecting your books now. I appreciate the historical facts sited and the refreshing anecdotes, the humor and the spinning of the tales of the almost real characters. I look forward to reading AMBER. Keep the stories coming - I am hooked.

• Angela Terhark from MN (before 6 June 2005)

  I read "Emerald" a few months ago, and was finally able to find "Amethyst" by special order at my bookstore. I was so thrilled to start it! I finished it in about two and a half days, reading the last half all in one evening, I just had to finish it before I went to bed. Absolutely brilliant! Reading the "Ask Lauren" section of your website, I saw that if we wanted to read a story about Ford, we should write and say so. SO!!! I think it would be priceless to read about how Ford's logical mind gives over to his heart, given the right persuasion by an intelligent, enchanting girl, of course!
  Very anxiously awaiting the release of "Amber", Angela Terhark Duluth, MN
  P.S. My next trip to England will definitely include stops at the inspirations for castles found in "Amethyst"!

  Hi Lauren, I have really enjoyed your book Emerald. Books are considered my lunch time companions and I read about 1 a week at my 1/2 hour lunch break. My main interest in books is Historical Romance. This subject has enjoyment plus getting more education without really working at it. Your Book Has Topped all the books I have read with many different authors. What sold it is how realistic the reading is. You are great at making the reader feel apart of the adventure. Then the best is to find almost all your facts are true and not changed much to fit your story like alot of other authors. Now coming to see your website and see the pictures of thhe places and people have just sold me to collect All of your books. I really thank you for the work and effort you have done with your writing, it is to me well worth it all!
  Your Loyal Fan, Peg

• Tammy Adams from Michigan (before 6 June 2005)

  Hello Lauren, I came across your book Emerald at the book store and purchased it because of the title and your short Biography(I am a gemologist and have been in the jewelry business for 17 years)As you can probably relate, by working retail I don't have much time to read. I injured my back and the Doctor put me on bed rest. I remembered that I hadn't read your book yet and was excited that I could finally have time to read it. I was disappointed to find out(at first) that it was the second book in a trilogy. I couldn't read Emerald before I read the first book Amythest. I sent my husband out to find your first book. He had to special order it for me. Well it finally arrived and I read both books in one day. You really do have a gift for writing. I am glad you are pursuing it. I am disspointed that I have to wait until August for Amber. If you release the book earlier let me know. Thank you and good luck with your new career.

• Clifford A. Truesdell from Massachusetts (before 6 June 2005)

  ew the Scotch collops recipe: In the 17th C., "claret" was the generic term for red wine. Now it's generally used for Bordeaux (which in fact much 17th C. red wine in England was). And incidentally, I have a 17th C recipe that used mashed potators. It's delicious, but no space for it here.

Now I'll be jumpy until Kendra's book comes out Finally, a return to the sweeping, gorgeous Restoration romances I fell in love with years ago! Any chance reader begging can continue the Chase family story beyond just a trilogy? I would love to see Ford's story, and Jewel's, and...do you see a pattern here? These books are a great inspiration to aspiring writers.

• Briana from Georgia (before 6 June 2005)

  I wandered the bookstore for almost an hour, indecisive and bored. Most days, books scream at me from the shelves - but not this one. I nearly left without a purchase, when Emerald caught my eye on an endcap. I've grown bored with romances - reading the same old story, and blah there's such a wash of mediocre writers out there, I read with an overly critical eye. What a WONDERFUL surprise your novel was. I am so glad to have discovered you. Keep writing. Such playful characters, innovative plot lines, and tummy-tingling moments are hard to find!

• Stephanie from North Carolina (before 6 June 2005)

  Hi Lauren! I read "Emerald" in two days and really enjoyed your work. I thought the characters were superb and very well-rounded. I was wanting to know when you might write a story ocurring Cameron, Cait's cousin. Also, just a small request, please keep us updated on Jase and Cait throughout your writing. Thanks and good luck in the future.

• Mary Seymore-Opacki from Virginia (before 6 June 2005)

You make the story so real like the person reading it is actually going through the story as a bystander. I hope you keep writing because I will keep reading.

• Angela Terhark from Minnesota (before 6 June 2005)

  I just finished reading "Emerald", and it was outstanding!!! There is so much I loved about it, but I'll try to remember. i loved the fact that caithren didn't get away with her man disguise- I hate it that a heroine can look like a boy one minute, then have a curvy figure and overflowing breasts the next. I also loved that I didn't really know what was going to happen at the end, like how Jason and Caithren were truly bound to their homeland, yet torn from it, because of their love. These are real feelings-being pulled in two directions. I did, however, guess correctly about Adam right away, but maybe I've just read too many romance novels. I can't wait to read the others in this series; this is the first book of yours I've read. And that was the steamiest, most interesting and imaginitive love scene I have ever read. Wow. So incredibly creative. And the fact that you write that you've actully been to the places you're writing about...!!! I lived in england for nine months on a study abroad programme, a

I understand that Kendra's story does not come out until August of 2001. It seems so long after these 2 books. Will Ford get a happy ending with a lady. I guess I'll see. I'm about to start reading the second book and am very much looking forward to it. Thank you very much. I've been reading historical romances since I was 14 and am now 22. After the years it seemed that the books were not quite catching my attention interesting storylines. I've really enjoyed yours.

• Denise Perrelli from An Undisclosed Location (before 6 June 2005)

  I've just read your 2 books, Amethyst, Emerald and adore both books. I can not wait for Kendra's story. In the future, will you be writing a story about Jewel, Amy and Colin's daughter? I would really enjoy her story. Thank you for many hours of reading pleasure.

• Betty Jensen from Utah (before 6 June 2005)

  Lauren I just finished reading Amethyst. I'm looking forward to the other two of the trilogy. But I was wondering what about Ford. You've wrote books about the others what about him?

• Karianne from Oregon (before 6 June 2005)

  Lauren, what wonderful novels you have written. I feel in love with Colin and Amethyst; and now Jason and Caithren. I am so looking forward to the next book Amber. The period of time you write about is one of my favorite timelines. Thank you for your entusiasm in bringing the past to life. God Bless!

• Katie from An Undisclosed Location (before 6 June 2005)

  I really love your website. I printed off the recipes and look forward to trying them (well, at least some of them)! Great contest, too!

• Dena Russell from Maryland (before 6 June 2005)

  I met you at the RWA literacy autographing. There was such a crowd around your table that I didn't get a chance to look at your books, but luckily you gave me a couple of bookmarks. I haven't read anything yeet, but I'm working in that direction. I'm going to start with Emerald and Amethyst or does another book come before them. I like to read things in order if I can. I am also writing and decided to join RWA and can't wait until next years conference.

• Katherine from New Jersey (before 6 June 2005)

  Hi Lauren! I must say you are a very talented writer. I have just finished AMETHYST and found I had to postpone everything I had to do the day I was reading it because I simply could not put down the book. You are a fabulous writer and I wish to say Good Luck and Congratulations on your work now and to come! I cannot wait until EMERALD is published!

• Brandi Hartley from Ohio (before 6 June 2005)

  Hello, I am really glad I finally found your site, I have been eagerly waiting for "Emerald", and was pleased to see I'll not have long to wait. You are a great writer and I loved "Amethyst". Thank you for doing what you do and keeping us enthralled.

  Hi Lori! I actually tried to email you about 3 weeks ago when I got your book but I couldn't get in--my mistake, I'm sure. I'm glad I'm here. I haven't started reading yet but am excited to get your book. Congratulations! Can I ask you to sign it before Austin and I move (end of the month)? I might bring it backpacking this weekend but then I'll get a new one for you to sign so...hope to see you soon. I saw you and Jack at the Music concert but didn't see you then afterward. Bye!

• Glynnis Campbell from California (before 6 June 2005)

  Well, curses! I was hoping I'd just sort of slide into that Best First Book category with no competition. :) Looks like I'll have to fight tooth and nail. Your book is fabulous, Lauren, so full of vivid imagery and rich detail, and your website should serve as a model for others . . . Thank you, also, for your generous help and support in this shared adventure.

  I'll be purchasing your novel tomorrow. The excerpt intrigued me. Thanks!

• Robin L. Christ from New York (before 6 June 2005)

  I just finished AMETHYST last night and I have to say, I was right!!! It was definitely like opening a window to the past. You made so much of history come to life. I wish they had had books like yours in history class when I was in school; it would have make it alot more interesting to go to class. I look forward to reading EMERALD as soon as it hits the bookshelves. Congratulations on AMETHYST and all your future endeavors.

• Robin Christ from New York (before 6 June 2005)

  Hi Lauren, I'm only half way thru your first book but, I'm already excited about the second. I'll let you know how much more I truly enjoyed AMETHYST after I'm done. I have a feeling you will be one of the authors that I just have to have all of your work. Thanks for opening another window into the past.
  A new friend and fan, Robin

• Susan from Texas (before 6 June 2005)

  You are a naughty, naughty girl, making me read that excerpt. I wasn't going to buy your book, because I don't really care for the time period, but after reading the excerpt for the contest, I'm going to have to get it. It is sooo good!! I'm looking forward to reading the rest of it.

• JOYCE from North Carolina (before 6 June 2005)

  Your book in now on my "to buy" list! The plot is a draw for me, plus the cover art is lovely.
  Good Luck, Carole

• Adrienne R. Smith from California (before 6 June 2005)

  Dear Lauren I am right in the middle of Amethyst and thoroughly enjoying it. I only wish that someone would write a book that explains what the clothing in some of the historical romances include. Some of the names elude discription.

• Jane Armstrong from Berkshire, England (before 6 June 2005)

  Congratulations on your wonderful book, which I received today. Looks like I shall be burning the midnight oil until I finish it!!

• Joanna Scanziello from Ohio (before 6 June 2005)

  Those recipes look delicious. I read the first chapter of your book here on-line and the story line sound great. I can't wait to start your book. I'm also looking forward to the people & places for your other 2 books.

• Herb Royal from California (before 6 June 2005)

  Dear Lori, I haven't the words to express my awe at the quality of your writing. I'm only halfway through "Amethyst" (just past the shoot-out in the hotel) and I can hardly believe how well you write. It's almost unbelievable.

• Tammy Russotto from Florida (before 6 June 2005)

  I just read about Amethyst in Romantic Times. I'll be picking it up when I make my weekly trip to the bookstore. If they don't have it in, I'll order it!

• Alison Bellach from California (before 6 June 2005)

  I am so excited to read this book! You are an awesome writer and I know that you will put all other romance novellists to shame. :) YAY!

• Louisa from England (before 6 June 2005)

  I read about Amethyst in the RT magazine and immediately ordered it online. I love reading romance novels and reading about 17th century England. It is very rare that I can find a combination of the two. The Restoration period is sadly, and suprisingly, neglected in the romance genre. Glad to see that you are changing this. I look forward to reading Amethyst just as soon as it is available.

• Reneé & Nate Dorfman from California (before 6 June 2005)

  WHAT A GREAT WEBSITE. We are looking forward to reading Amethyst. We wish you the best of luck and much success. It couldn't happen to a nicer person.

• June from Denmark (before 6 June 2005)

  I simply love the website and all the cool stuff on it. After reading the prologue and the first chapter I cannot help but wish that tomorrow was February 7th and the book would be published. Now I just hope the book will be sold here in Demnark (Scandinavia). From your biggest fan.

  The site looks great! I just know your book is going to be, as they say in England, "A smashing success! Smashing!!!"
