1: GOOD STORY LINE BUT A LITTLE DRAGGED OUT
This was overall a good book with an exellent plot. It was just took way to long for Sara to confess that she was really Hawkes Wife.

3: Thoroughly enjoyed the Hawk and the Dove! A great read!
I love reading Virginia Henley's books and absolutely loved reading the Hawk and the Dove. In the beginning, I felt sorry for the heroine Sara Bishop, also known as Sabre Wilde. Here is the heroine who is mocked by her step father her sisters, spat upon and made to feel worthless and then later in the story she is abandoned by her husband Shane Hawkhurst who married "Sara Bishop" by proxy for strip of land. But, the plot thickens; Sara now Sabre Wilde gets her revenge against her family and travels to find her husband to seek her vengeance and eventually and purposefully becomes her husband's secret mistress. The tables are turned, Sara Bishop transforms from being an outcast to a strong willed Sabre Wilde, while Shane Hawkhurst a leader of men and Lord of Devonport becomes enslaved to Sabre's every desire and caught in the web of deceit. It is a compelling story pack full of suspense, lies, fury, revenge and deep romance, a Cinderella story for ground ups. I highly recommend this book!

4: Good but exhausting...
I know this book would have been better if I hadn't just finished The Pirate and the Pagan yesterday. If you have read that book you understand what an emotional rollercoaster it is. So today I am reading the Hawk and the Dove and finding myself enjoying the beginning...loving the characters, but as I was nearing the conclusion of the tale I found myself completely emotionally drained and wishing the damned thing would be over. Hence the 3 stars.
The Plot, while good in the beginning, lost its progression during all the intrigues in the Elizabethian Court. I love that Hawk is so desperately in love with Sabre, and I love how hot tempered she is so I get all the intense sex scenes. But I definitely would have enjoyed the story more had she just fessed up about a hundred pages sooner.
