**A Devoted Fan's Review: Joanna Lindsey's Novels**

As I sit down to review one of my favorite authors, Joanna Lindsey, I find myself getting lost in her world of romance and laughter. I've read all of her novels multiple times, and each one has left an indelible mark on my heart. Whether it's Ophelia Reid or Meghan Penworthy, she has a way of crafting characters that are so woody, they make you laugh out loud.

For me, Ophelia is probably the most beautiful character she's ever written. Her story in "Love the Devil" is one I'll always treasure. And then there's Raph, who stole my heart with his devotion and loyalty. Meghan Penworthy, as seen in "Man of My Dreams", is another favorite of mine – her beauty and vulnerability leave me wanting more.

One of the things I love most about Joanna Lindsey's novels is their ability to evoke strong emotions without being too over-the-top. Romance can be a competitive genre, but with authors like Johanna Lindsey, it's easy to see why fans fall in love with them. Her characters are relatable, her stories engaging, and she knows just the right balance of humor and heartbreak.

As I delve into my review, I find myself reflecting on what makes Joanna Lindsey's novels stand out from the rest. For me, it's the way she weaves together romance, laughter, and tears to create a narrative that's both uplifting and satisfying. Her stories are like escapes – a chance to immerse oneself in a world of beauty and love, without ever having to worry about the harsh realities of life.

Of course, not every reader will resonate with Joanna Lindsey's style. I've had conversations with my daughter about why she loves romance novels, and it's hard for me to understand – but that's okay! What matters is that her books have a way of speaking directly to her heart, and for me, they do the same.

In terms of specific parts of the book that I loved, there are a few moments that stand out in my mind. Who can forget the snowball fight between Ophelia and Raph? Or when Meghan is getting ready to meet her father's new fiancée, and we get to see her in all her finery? Those moments – small as they may seem – bring so much joy to me.

As I wrap up my review, I want to acknowledge the importance of reading and escaping into fiction. In today's world, it can be easy to get lost in our daily worries and concerns. But with authors like Joanna Lindsey, we have a chance to step away from reality and immerse ourselves in something beautiful. Whether it's romance, adventure, or humor, there's always room for one more book on our shelves.

**Book Review: Love the Devil**

"Love the Devil" is one of my favorite Johanna Lindsey novels, and for good reason. Ophelia Reid is a character that will forever hold a special place in my heart – her beauty, kindness, and strength make her a true gem. The story itself is engaging, with a healthy dose of romance, humor, and drama. I won't give too much away, but let's just say it's a wild ride from start to finish.

One thing that struck me about "Love the Devil" was the way Ophelia is treated by those around her. It's not uncommon for fans to see themselves or someone they love in her story – and I'm no exception! Her experiences with Raph, in particular, resonated deeply with me. The way he looks at her, treats her, and ultimately falls in love with her... it's all so beautifully done.

Of course, no Joanna Lindsey novel would be complete without a healthy dose of laughter and humor. This book delivers in spades – from Ophelia's hilarious interactions with her friends to Raph's dry wit and sarcasm, there's always something to smile about.

Overall, I'd give "Love the Devil" three out of five stars – it's a wonderful read, but not quite perfect. Still, that's not saying much, considering how much I love all of Johanna Lindsey's novels!

**Additional Recommendations**

As a devoted fan of Joanna Lindsey's work, I'm always on the lookout for other authors who share her style and sensibility. If you're looking for more romance novels with a dash of humor and heartbreak, here are a few recommendations:

* Nicholas Sparks: While his books can be a bit sadder than Johanna Lindsey's, they're still masterful at evoking strong emotions without being too over-the-top.

* Sarah MacLean: This author has a way of crafting characters that are both witty and vulnerable – her romance novels are always a joy to read.

**Conclusion**

As I wrap up this review, I want to thank you all for joining me on this journey through Johanna Lindsey's world. Her books have brought so much joy and laughter into my life, and I'm grateful for every moment of it. Whether you're a fellow fan or just looking for something new to read, I hope you'll join me in exploring the wonderful world of romance novels – there's always room for one more book on our shelves!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enI am so excited for today's book review I'm excited for multiple reasons not just about the book we're gonna be talking about but I forgot how much I loved doing this how much I just loved sitting down and and chatting it up and telling you guys what I think of these characters I have I know that this video these the book reviews that I do don't get obviously don't get the same amount of uses my other videos but I think it's important for me to remember to still do things that I love on my channel as well I think it just makes all of YouTube that much more enjoyable and sometimes sometimes when you create your own channel and you there are obviously lots of different content I've done before but you can kind of steer away from some of the other things that you love to do because you know you bring in subscribers for certain things and and you want to just maintain that but just thank you for loving this for the couple thousand views that I that I get whereas my Dollar Tree hauls get anywhere between 20 and 50 really kind of just depends thousand but just thank you in general it makes me really happy and this just just lifts up my mood to just kind of sit here and just chat about fictional characters like it's just right it's just kind of cuckoo but I love it and yeah so book review Friday hope you're sitting down grab a nice cup of tea coffee whatever drink cozy up and we're gonna dive into another Johanna Lindsey novel the devil who tamed her so the cover art is really pretty the title not not one of my favorites but but it is pretty it is a good title considering I guess what she's talking about and here's some of the cringe here artwork this one's not so bad this one's probably one of the most decent ones when we're talking about romance novels they some the images can be a little sometimes they can be I guess not embarrassing but just hope you know you it's like you don't want to be out I hate saying it maybe maybe it is an embarrassing quality or feeling but I don't necessarily want to be you know and aligned somewhere pulling out my book it's just not that discreet but I love that they give you that flap so I definitely appreciate that the outsides pretty good and then okay then you get a little bit more on the inside so I wish they would do this with all of their all their books devil who tamed her I it's interesting because this isn't one of my top favorite of my joint Lindsey novels at first when I remember when I first read this book and I have read my joining Lindsey novels several times over for each book this is probably my fourth or fifth time reading this one and I love where she was trying to take this but I had little problems here and there so let's go ahead and dive in so your main characters in this book it's gonna be a philia read and Raphael Locke and at least it's like in my mind how I'm I'm saying they're their names so this book you actually want to read second - to understand so because a philia and Raphael both make an important appearance in the novel before it which I believe is called the air which is one one of the very first books I ever read of Joanna Lindsey was either the air or the joining and the joining is one of my favorites and I probably did a book review on that one not really sure it's been a while but I'll leave my book review playlist down below anyway oh philia read actually makes a huge she's one of the bigger one of the main characters in the air because she's engaged to the main main male character in the air but she can't stand him and Joanna Lindsey paints her as this just the most beautiful woman I have to say Johanna Lindsey I think paints Oh philia read as one of her top beauties she she doesn't always write every single character as the most beautiful character in the world some of them she writes all their plain but they had something special about them most of them she does write that they are very beautiful in appearance but Ophelia she writes her as if no one has ever in their like seen anyone as stunning as her and and that is essentially some of the struggles that Ophelia goes through because she's so beautiful her father just wants to marry her off to the highest title this is London based back in me I believe 1800s and see this one doesn't exactly say the year but but it is back then when you were you would go out and tear you go on to your season and you'd look for her husband kind of like Pride and Prejudice okay something similar to to that aspect and this is London based so her father just wanted to marry her off to a super high title like a Duke and things like that just because of her beauty and so she never had a great relationship with her father and her father would have to buy her friends as a child being and all this stuff so so she has developed she's developed where she's become very bitter and she's become very jaded by how she's treated with fake friends and her her father and she is a good person deep down inside and but she's just had issues with her beauty is how Joanna Lindsey has been painting her and so she gets engaged to this Scottish Lord and he falls in love with someone else and she just basically creates some drama in that first book and so this picks up right after that so just know that so she basically breaks off the engagement with Duncan in the air and then this literally picks up where she's still in that house if she's just broken it off and she's packed up her and she's leaving and everyone just thinks she's spreading all of these lies she's just this this problem and one of the people that she knows Raphael Locke who I think is going to end up being a Duke he is also written as an extremely handsome character as well so they're both supposedly just really high up on Joanna Lindsey's just the way that she she describes her characters and how other people in the novel perceived them if you will so basically the gist is Raphael decides that he thinks there's something more to her and that she's not what other people say she is that she's really not this horrible lie spreading rumor monger kind of person and he decides he's gonna take her up as a project and he is going she's leaving like I mentioned she's leaving in the beginning of the novel she's leaving the house that she was in where she was supposed to marry Duncan and she's gonna go back to London she's gonna go back home and he decides he's going to detour her and take her to his house his private house in the country and try to fix her so that's one of the things where I just as I reread through this book a couple of times I just kind of started because then in the end you just fall in love with Ophelia and you know that she's just this really beautiful inside and out person and watching or not watching but reading someone trying to change her just was kind of annoying you know like why do you need to change her so bad you know it just I didn't like that part I Raphael Raph was just so and he he and she listened she was like okay you you basically wrote to my parents and and you know and etiquette wise he had every right to keep her in his house the rules of London and back then were interesting and and so basically he did all the right things he even brought his aunt with him as a chaperone so they weren't alone kind of thing and he just he was like okay we're this is our project he was like a little therapist and he was like okay let's start with your first with your first lie that you've been spreading and why did you spread this lie and and so and he starts to obviously get to know her and you know kisses her obviously falls in love with her so what you need to know is that wrath actually makes a bet with Duncan because Duncan's like she's crazy she's me and she's spiteful like you can't change her and rap is like mmm do you want to bet so you know how that goes when Effie Leah finds out about this bet she was devastated because in her mind she had very specific reasons for why she did what she did and then she explained it's all explained in the novel's you think that she's spreading the rumors to be to be mean and vindictive but she had there's actually reasons for what she was doing and as ralph is finding this stuff out he's like oh my gosh she's it she's not what everyone thinks that she is and a lot of it again stemmed just from her father and well her father is just furious that she broke off the engagement to Duncan he's just furious and when he gets a letter from raff saying I'm keeping her in my country estate but we got a chaperone he makes it seem like there's gonna be an engagement but he's really kind of lying through the lines to Afilias father he just meant yeah philia is gonna get married just not to me and but the the dad thinks oh my god he's gonna be a Duke like yes so then you know raff compromises Ophelia I mean I just throw it out there he compromises her and she's completely fine with it she's like and I won't marry you because I'm doing that just to spite my father because I know my father would want me to marry you but I'm not going to for that very reason well her father basically find out anyway and forces RAF to marry her and RAF is like fine but really he wanted to be with her because you could see there were little jealousy things happening and he could never stop thinking about her and and it's just sweet how she writes the male characters it's one of the reasons why I love reading historical romances because it's all about that romance beginning to end and that's just the kind of the content that I that I enjoy him and at the end of the day if I had to compare it to the Hallmark Channel the Hallmark Channel doesn't really give you the same kind of romance beginning to end I feel like they give you romance the last five minutes and it's basically the couple arguing the whole movie through until they figure out they love each other and you get like five seconds of them liking each other but but joannec Lindsay just gives you that romance throughout the whole book and I love that it's just it's nice you in theory know that you're picking up a romance novel and that the characters are gonna end up together but you're always still intrigued you always still want to read her I want to read every single word and sometimes in some books I'll skip a sentence or two I don't know if anyone else is like that or even like chapters when you're like okay they're in a war like a wall wall I mean let me get to the romance again Johanna Lindsay just delivers that beginning to end I will say that Johanna Lindsey novels are all of course written differently and I love that I don't always want to read the same exact thing sometimes she has beginning to end stellar and sometimes the beginnings a little like takes a little bit to get started and then great middle content and then great ending and then sometimes it's not the greatest ending but it's got great beginning in great middle you know those kind of combos with this book I would have to say the ending wasn't necessarily my absolute favorite but it was really it was really good it was it was she didn't let me down but it wasn't my absolute favorite a favorite of all the ways that she's ever in her novels Oh philia does get into an accident defending trying to save a friend who painted her this friend and actually painted her as a horrible person and here is Ophelia trying to save her from being trampled by horses and she throws herself out and what I remember the most about this novel sometimes I'll forget what the content is about but what I always remember that stuck out to me is the way RAF comes up on the accent and he sees it's her in there Mary but they're kind of they they're married but he just dumps her off back at home he's like I married you there so when he comes up to her trampled and barely breathing on the street he is just he is just beside himself he's like it's and when someone tries to pull him back he's like it's my wife and you know he just kind of picks her up and and carries her and takes her away and obviously you don't do that nowadays in case you paralyzed somebody you never know what's wrong with them but um and so she ends up getting a scar on her cheek but it it's funny because it doesn't take away from her beauty the way that Joanna Lindsey explains it it actually ends up adding because it just gives her more of a dimple I think and so anyway it's a great read so if you were just it's summertime what better time to to go outside grab a chair zone out go into someone else's love story the devil who Tainter is a really good one it is one of its not well probably it's not probably my one of my top top faves but but that's not saying much really because all all of Joanna Lindsey novels are just amazing like I've I love all of them and oh philia is definitely probably I would say if I had to pick who was the most beautiful that she's ever written it's probably Ophelia Reid and Meghan penworthy who was in man of my dreams she you definitely wrote Meghan as just the way the way they hurt the other characters respond to their beauty anyway I just thoroughly enjoy reading and I feel like sometimes when I do these book reviews I hear myself talking and I'm like are you really saying anything interesting to anybody you're talking about just a simple I wouldn't it hurts me to save run of the mill because I don't think Joanna Lindsey's run of the mill at all but you know it's when you're trying to compare genres and type of style of books to other ones yes no this isn't this isn't an autobiography and this isn't something that's gonna alter your world content but it's just nice as a woman to sit down get into some romance because I feel like romance in today's generation is slightly dead and and it's just nice it's nice to to kind of get away and escape for a little bit so really love the devil who taint her I and I love I'd have to say giving stars o philia read I'd give her I give her three out of five stars she's on my most favorite female character and I would say Raph is probably four stars for me and they both the book overall I probably would rate three or four stars out of five but that's really good because joy Lindsey novels are so competitive for me so I'm trying to reserve that five stars for one or two books so in theory three or four stars is really at the top of the line I'm even one star it's gonna be a stellar book for me one doesn't mean poor it's just I'm reserving that five stars four I think the joining is a five star for me just the books that make that I like the most you could rate this and completely love this and it'd be five stars for you but yes also one thing I have to mention Joanna Lindsey novels her characters are really woody and you will laugh out loud sometimes it is pretty darn funny so I love that there's romance and laughter and it's a little bit of heartbreak here and there but not not too much that you don't recover and that you don't leave the book swooning so I just love feeling like that I you know Nicholas Sparks novels like that I can't I can't read sad like that it's just too heart-wrenching for me why would I want to walk away devastated that's just not for me my daughter loves that so it's hard for me to understand that aspect of it but she girl she loves some drama she loves the tears she loves that gut-wrenching kind of love that doesn't always make it not me honey not me I need them to make it I need them to be good I need them to be married I'm like I need those things and if you need those things too you're definitely gonna find it in a Joanna Lindsey novel I promise you well thank you guys for hanging out with me I had a really good time saying here in my living room all by myself but hope that you guys love this book review and oh one other thing that I kinda wanted to get into my book reviews is telling you guys specific parts in the book that I really loved which I did earlier I talked about the part where she kind of gets trampled on and and RAF's reaction obviously I didn't love that that happened to her but you know what I'm saying there was a part in here where they had a snowball fight and I really liked that part and I also love when when she when she comes home and just before her father kind of makes him be engaged to her they're they're seeing each other at parties because he's wanting to show up to where she's going I love that part I love I love knowing what color her dresses which Joanna Lindsey tells you she tells you what they look like and I love reading the guys reaction to seeing her and and yeah so that that part I really liked when he kind of comes to some of the balls and and sees how beautiful she is and as always if you guys have any other author recommendations that you feel aligns up with Johanna Lindsey drop them down below I've read I've reread these books so many times it's time for me to just to give another author a chance so I am going to be going to the library soon that's probably gonna be in a vlog and maybe see what else I can't fall in love with and that's it for chasing you thanks for watching see you laterI am so excited for today's book review I'm excited for multiple reasons not just about the book we're gonna be

don't think Joanna Lindsey's run of the mill at all but you know it's when you're trying to compare genres and type of style of books to other ones yes no this isn't this isn't an autobiography and this isn't something that's gonna alter your world content but it's just nice as a woman to sit down get into some romance because I feel like romance in today's generation is slightly dead and and it's just nice it's nice to to kind of get away and escape for a little bit so really love the devil who taint her I and I love I'd have to say giving stars o philia read I'd give her I give her three out of five stars she's on my most favorite female character and I would say Raph is probably four stars for me and they both the book overall I probably would rate three or four stars out of five but that's really good because joy Lindsey novels are so competitive for me so I'm trying to reserve that five stars for one or two books so in theory three or four stars is really at the top of the line I'm even one star it's gonna be a stellar book for me one doesn't mean poor it's just I'm reserving that five stars four I think the joining is a five star for me just the books that make that I like the most you could rate this and completely love this and it'd be five stars for you but yes also one thing I have to mention Joanna Lindsey novels her characters are really woody and you will laugh out loud sometimes it is pretty darn funny so I love that there's romance and laughter and it's a little bit of heartbreak here and there but not not too much that you don't recover and that you don't leave the book swooning so I just love feeling like that I you know Nicholas Sparks novels like that I can't I can't read sad like that it's just too heart-wrenching for me why would I want to walk away devastated that's just not for me my daughter loves that so it's hard for me to understand that aspect of it but she girl she loves some drama she loves the tears she loves that gut-wrenching kind of love that doesn't always make it not me honey not me I need them to make it I need them to be good I need them to be married I'm like I need those things and if you need those things too you're definitely gonna find it in a Joanna Lindsey novel I promise you well thank you guys for hanging out with me I had a really good time saying here in my living room all by myself but hope that you guys love this book review and oh one other thing that I kinda wanted to get into my book reviews is telling you guys specific parts in the book that I really loved which I did earlier I talked about the part where she kind of gets trampled on and and RAF's reaction obviously I didn't love that that happened to her but you know what I'm saying there was a part in here where they had a snowball fight and I really liked that part and I also love when when she when she comes home and just before her father kind of makes him be engaged to her they're they're seeing each other at parties because he's wanting to show up to where she's going I love that part I love I love knowing what color her dresses which Joanna Lindsey tells you she tells you what they look like and I love reading the guys reaction to seeing her and and yeah so that that part I really liked when he kind of comes to some of the balls and and sees how beautiful she is and as always if you guys have any other author recommendations that you feel aligns up with Johanna Lindsey drop them down below I've read I've reread these books so many times it's time for me to just to give another author a chance so I am going to be going to the library soon that's probably gonna be in a vlog and maybe see what else I can't fall in love with and that's it for chasing you thanks for watching see you later\n"
