Editorial Review:
In this splendid New York Times bestseller, Julie Garwood brilliantly crafts the majestic story of a young Englishwoman determined to fight for her freedom...a woman whose life would be transformed by the rare, unexpected gift of love.
When Lady Johanna learned that she was a widow, she vowed she would never marry again. Only sixteen, already she possessed a strength of will that impressed all who looked past her golden-haired beauty. Yet when King John demanded that she remarry -- and selected a bridegroom for her -- it seemed she must acquiesce, until her beloved foster brother suggested she wed his friend, the handsome Scottish warrior Gabriel MacBain.
At first Johanna was shy, but as Gabriel tenderly revealed the splendid pleasures they would share, she came to suspect that she was falling in love with her gruff new husband. And it was soon apparent to the entire Highlands clan that their brusque, gallant laird had surrendered his heart completely. But now a desperate royal intrigue threatened to tear her from his side -- and to destroy the man whose love meant more to her than she had ever dreamed!

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A truly marvelous work of fiction!
I won't bother the reader with a detailed synopsis of the book, since there seem to be enough of those, so I'll go straight to my opinion about 'Saving Grace'.
To start with, I would have to say that this is one of the best romances I have read so far, and as an avid reader, I've read a LOT of those. Julie Garwood's best works are her historicals, especially her Highland romances (The Bride, The Secret, etc.), and she surpasses herself here. The characters are beautifully portrayed, the author's ... Read More
Rating: - Totally riviting!
I absolutely LOVED this book. I couldn't put it down, which only means that I was extremely annoyed when I had to do mundane things like feeding cats and cleaning house. The whole time I was doing chores my thoughts were with Johanna and Gabriel.
I loved both Garwood's characters and loved how Johanna became self assured toward the end of the book. I hate giving away endings so I won't do so now, suffice it to say that Gabriel was good for her. I also liked her secondary characters of Nicolas ... Read More
Rating:  - Boring
I am obviously not a fan of Julie Garwood, since the only novel of hers I've liked so far is Castles. I didn't even manage to finish "The Bride" and had hard time finishing this. I really hated The Bride, but Saving Grace was not a bad book; it just failed to grab my interest. All three books of hers I've read so far have the same type of heroine: weak and naive bordering on stupidity. My main objection about Mrs Garwood stories though, is the slow development. I'm generaly looking for drama or action or at ... Read More
Rating:  - trust me, not worth your time
I have read A LOT of historical fiction books... I got this one, trusting the raving reviews on it. I couldn't even finish it. The plot was dreadfully boring. The writing was choppy, and blunt, and it really bugged the heck out of me. It didn't flow. It makes me really not want to read another one of her books if its written like this one. The premise was good... I just wish I wasn't so bored! Gabriel, the male lead, was just downright mean! He wasn't likeable at all to me... and the female lead... ... Read More
Rating: - Johanna and Gabriel Sigh......
What a great story. Gabriel is Johanna's protector, boy does she need one and yes a sequel to this book is so needed to follow Johanna's brother and new wife love story! Anyways, I do so love how Gabriel shows his love to Johanna but doesn't say it, and I love how Johanna accepts Gabriel as he is. My favorite part of this book is at the end the speech Johanna gives to her ex-husband. I had to reread several times. You will love this story.
