Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2020Verified PurchaseHot Winter Sun by Jessica Russell is not a story I will forget soon. I’ve been devouring Romance books in the past year, but I am at a point where nothing seems original. Yes, the words are different, but the context of the stories mainly rely on storylines already in circulation. With the relevance of its summary, I knew this was a must-read, so I was ready to set my other books aside and dive in. After reading the first section, “Adventure," I felt so absorbed into the book and wanted to keep reading more and more, I couldn't put it down! I loved it. Books like this are definitely my cup of tea from now on.
The author has developed an exciting story that is a spectacular romantic story. The story gave me a page-turning experience, as it is filled with twists and turns, revolving around the story of two lovers, Catherine and Robert. The two take us through a beautiful journey into another world of love and romance. Character development was adorable; in particular, Catherine has been wonderfully nuanced; her life seems like a real-life scenario. Readers are profoundly engaged with realistic conversations and an exceedingly impressive flow of the story, not forgetting the impeccable and easy to understand grammar.
I found the book as pretty thrilling, romantic, emotional, suspenseful, and inspirational part of what I mostly look for in a book. Other than the uniqueness of the story, the author has shown masterly writing skills by having complete control of her story and style. With twists and turns, a reader cannot ignore the imagination of the impressive scenes and much more than the story offers. I highly recommend it to all readers as this is a must-read. I can't wait to get my hands on her next release!Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2020Verified PurchaseI enjoyed reading "Hot Winter Sun." This is not your typical romance story. The author has clearly taken time to research the period, setting, and historical events. I greatly enjoyed learning more about the political intrigue and social climate during the years of the English Civil War (mid-1600s.) It is evident that the author is passionate about her subject and she does an excellent job of painting a picture of the conflicts between the Parliamentarians, also called roundheads, and the Royalists. The writing style reminded me of Kathleen Woodiwiss, who pioneered the historical romance genre.
"Hot Winter Sun" is filled with delightful well-developed likable characters—some that you love and some that you love to hate. The majority of the action takes place in Cornwall, and the love story centers around Catherine, a commoner from a local village, and the twins Robert and Julian, who are manner born and bred. Complications arise when Robert, who marries Catherine, dies unexpectedly, forcing Catherine to flee. The mystery of her husband's death culminates when Catherine returns. As she seeks answers to questions that plague her, she realizes she, too, may be in danger. It is a tale of love and revenge, a perfect mix to keep you turning pages.Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2020Verified PurchaseA great book, a story about love, hate, envy and revenge. About families, and how complicated they are when you bring in both whole and personal issues. It is based in England so if you’re into old romance books, Hot Winter Sun is surely for you. Also, it is set in a time of uncertainty, which adds a lot to the overall plot and story going.
You’ll get circumstances based on history, in a way that’s both refreshing and captivating. This is what you want, in essence, from a book that’s in the historical romance genre. The characters are masterfully crafted and well developed. Catherine and Robert are the main couple of the book, who’ve got different backgrounds but many things in common. Twists and turns follow.
After reading a ton of self-development books from gurus of the genre who are not really aware that they’re talking gibberish for the most of it, this completely fictional but based on real facts book was like a breath of fresh air. It’s like a break you’re giving your mind and body after a hard week at work. Get it!Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2020Verified PurchaseA young woman finds herself stuck in a rather unpleasant situation where she has to deal with a man that she doesn't really like in order to deal with some personal issues. That's the best description I can give for this one. A simpler description would be Romeo and Juliet meets Wuthering Heights. This is a bit of a deal-breaker for me because although I found Romeo and Juliet bearable; I HATED Wuthering Heights. That said, the book is well-written and nicely paced with characters you can actually like (which is more than Wuthering Heights had). Not my style at all but if you're into this sort of thing or you just want to check it out, go for it.One person found this helpful
