1) Mass Market Paperback Book Gwyneth and the Thief by HarperTeen. I have to say, I was kind of disappointed. I have recently become very interested in the Avon True Romance series but this just didn´t do it for me. The romance was kind of in the background and it seemed as if the author paid way to much to the other story lines. Not to give anything away, but it seems hard to believe that Gwyneth and Gavin end up together in the end because the story didn´t add much to their romance. It was still good, though...that´s why I gave it four stars.¤

2) Mass Market Paperback Book Gwyneth and the Thief by HarperTeen. Gavin And Gwyneth have the loviest spark between them in this story! Of course they both deny their feelings for each other in the beginning, but their hearts and the natural romance of the time betray them, and they ultimately end up in each other´s arms. Margaret Moore´s dialoge and developement of Gwyneth and Gavin´s relationship is thrilling and lovely--a perfect curl-up-on-a-lazy-day book. If your looking for a romance that will keep you guessing, dreaming, and page-turning, read Gwyneth and the Thief!¤

3) Mass Market Paperback Book Gwyneth and the Thief by HarperTeen. Gwyneth and the Theif is my favorite Avon True Romance so far. The concept is the most alluring, and the story is the most fulfilling. The romance is light but cute, and the characters are likable and relatable.

The story is about Lady Gwyneth, who is supervising her father´s land while he is ill, and a not-too-common Theif. Gwyneth´s lands are threatened by an unwelcome suitor who wishes to gain only power and land. Gwyneth rescuses the Theif, shelters him, and asks him to train her people. Happy ending indeed! Quite an enjoyable Read! The romance is the best attribute of the book.

I do believe there is one flaw though: believability. The rash and somewhat unlikely decision of Gwyneth to use the Theif to train her people, and her people´s unquestionable acceptance of her decision detract from the book. Things work out so well, if not too well, for the heroes and heroines of the Avon True Romance series, but I believe this is to be expected in a teen series.

Regardless, Gwyneth and the Theif was enjoyable, cute as ever, and relaxing to read. I believe any young historical romance lover will find this book to their satisfaction.

Happy Reading! ^_^¤

4) Mass Market Paperback Book Gwyneth and the Thief by HarperTeen. I started reading the Avon True Romance for Teens series just this year and I loved what I read. I had read Anna and the Duke (my favorite) Emily and the Scott, and Victoria and the Rogue. I loved all three of them.
Little did I know they ALL weren´t that way.
I had read an exerpt from one of the other books and tried hard to get this book. I finally do. I begin reading... yada, yada, yada. When I got to almost the end of the book, I was stunned: I just couldn´t believe any chemistry between the two main characters. The book disappointed me so much that I just stopped reading it. What was the point? These people weren´t believable and the plot looked so predictable. Why read something that we can easily see the ending to? The other books made you wonder, but even if there was a good climax in this one, I doubt it would save this story!¤

5) Mass Market Paperback Book Gwyneth and the Thief by HarperTeen. I was a little disappointed in this book. It seemed like nothing really exciting happened...the romance seemed a little dull, as did the plot: Gwyneth sees Gavin, a thief, get beat up by his fellow thieves and left for dead, so she takes him back to her castle to teach her village how to fight and protect themselves against an evil neighbor who wants Gwyneth´s land and her hand in marriage, which he thinks will be easy to gain since Gwyneth´s father is sick. Gwyneth and Gavin fall in love, but Gavin thinks she won´t want a thief, so he stays away from her, while in the meantime the village fights against the evil neighbor´s forces. A knight comes and stops the fight, and says Gavin can be his squire, so someday he can marry Gwyneth. Gwyneth´s father gets better, everyone lives happily ever, the end. I was disappointed with such an unoriginal plot.¤

6) Mass Market Paperback Book Gwyneth and the Thief by HarperTeen. Gwyneth

With her hand in marriage and the security of her beloved Haverleigh at stake, Lady Gwyneth is desperate. So when she comes upon a young man who might be the solution to her predicament, she does not hesitate to act, though it means entering into a dangerous deceit and inviting a thief into her castle.

All Gavin has known is a life of lawless poverty. Left for dead and taken in by a very young, very determined lady, he has little choice but to entertain her request. Posing as a squire, he begins to train the farmers and craftsmen of Haverleigh in the art of combat. In doing so, Gavin begins to know a far different life -- and to crave all it has to offer.

As Haverleigh is secured through their labor and collusion, sparks fly between Gwyneth and her thief. In a moment of rash indiscretion, a kiss nearly undoes them both. Love between a lady and a thief is unthinkable...unless the truth can remain hidden.
