Here is what people are saying about the The Game
3 Star Rating  "I loved several things about this book, but the heroine wasn't one of them"2009-07-22
- Reviewed By romarose@mediaone.net
Plot Summary: During the reign of Queen Elizabeth the first, a young Irish nobleman's daughter becomes a critical pawn in a political game, and one man will risk everything to possess her. Katherine leaves her nunnery to discover why her father has ignored her for years, never dreaming that he's been declared a traitor by the Queen. On her voyage home, she's captured by a pirate named Liam O'Neill, and he is determined to seduce Katherine and make her his mistress. Katherine is equally determined to protect her virtue, and bestow it on her future husband. Every man she meets wants to use her as a bargaining chip, and it's a harsh wake-up call for a woman who just wants to make babies with an honorable husband.

The copy that I got from the library is so brittle and tattered, it looks like rats have been gnawing on the pages. This book has obviously been well-loved, and I can understand part of the fascination. The plot is incredibly intricate and really, who doesn't love a good pirate story? Queen Elizabeth was well-known to nurture her sea dogs, the pirates who donned a thin veneer of respectability in order to loot, pillage, and plunder with her quiet approval. The story is further complicated by rebellion in Ireland, and the need for England to maintain control of that unruly island.

Here's my conflict - I loved Liam and not so much Katherine. I think the fans of this book must harbor a serious soft spot for the golden pirate with the silver-grey eyes, and I'm happy to join his fan club. But Katherine drove me nuts up until the last hundred pages of the novel, so I'm having a hard time raving about this book overall. She was a prude, stubborn, stick-in-the-mud, and I gave her carte blanche for as long as I could. By page 300 I was thinking, either grab him lady, or step aside because I will. Liam was one of those implacable, yet vulnerable heroes who had all the best traits with very few flaws.

I also think that the story could have been trimmed by a third, and I would have been happier. If it's possible, I think this plot is too thick, and I could have cared less about the Irish traitor subplot by the end. Still, it's an impressive historical romance, and Brenda Joyce is an author who knows how to pour out some lava-like heat in her love scenes. Bravo! Now if I can just find another Joyce book with a heroine who doesn't annoy me like nails on a chalkboard.
 
5 Star Rating  "My favorite romance EVER"2009-04-04
- Reviewed By User: A2FKWLVOT6OUPP
I read hundreds of romance novels before I read this book, and I've read probably hundreds since. For me it doesn't get any better than this book. I guess everyone has their own ideas of romance but this just does it for me. I've reread this book at least 5 times (and I don't usually reread books)and it is my all time favorite romance novel.
 
5 Star Rating  "Wonderful!"2008-11-22

I have rarely been a fan of Pirate romances but this book was fantastic. The main character Katherine was so innocent and unaware of her own sensuality that I could relate my first experiences to hers, and Liam reminded me so much of my favorite actor Brad Pitt, that I breezed thru this book in joy. I want all of Brenda Joyce's books. where the checkout!!:)
 
3 Star Rating  "Pretty good read..."2008-11-18
- Reviewed By User: A1GFZ6561MUD2S
This was a OK book. The first I have read of Brenda Joyce and I plan on reading more because I like her style of writing and there was much sexual tension and good sex scenes. The hero did not rape the heroine, although she was still reluctant when it finally did happen. I was a little annoyed by the heroine, I kept say "would you give in already geeeeezzz". I did not, however, like the fact that when they did finally have sex, the heroine was already married to someone else!!!!!! ugh!!! that and the lengthiness of the book are the only two things I did not like but over all...it was a pretty good read.
 
2 Star Rating  "I would get this one from the library"2008-09-24
- Reviewed By User: A34O3RT30Q2RST
Released from a French convent, Katherine FitzGerald sets sail for her home of Ireland, only to find herself a prisoner of the Pirate known as Master of the seas, Liam O'Neill. He is determined to win her and at the same time advance his secret causes.

I know this has some really good reviews but I did not like this book, although it was written well in many respects.
I liked Liam O'Neil (and the secret he held of Katherine while she was in the convent) but I did not like Katherine FitzGerald at all. I found her spoiled and too fast to take the easy way out of every situation. She was pathetic; I like heroines 'strong' in their love of their man, that know their own mind and second best is just not an option. I don't think she ever really knew what she wanted. And every male that looked at her, falling under her spell because of her beauty... gagged me.
 
4 Star Rating  "Entertaining and Memorable Read"2008-07-13
- Reviewed By User: AJ9AE2BVND0GS
Brenda Joyce always creates the most memorable characters and I always enjoy her books. The Game was no exception. When I first began reading I was not sure if I was going to be able to get into the story because I thought the heroine was going to be too unlikeable to me. I was thinking she didn't deserve the guy. She was trying my patience so I didn't understand how he could stand her. However, I kept reading and the story progressed nicely as did the heroine, and I came to understand her and like her more. The previous reviewer said she had to put put the book down because it was obvious what was going to happen. That's too bad because had she continued to read she would have seen what seemed apparent was not. It was a great book and worth the read.
