 Slow, but an ok read. August 19, 2001
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is the first book I have read by Michele Jaffe and I am not impresed. I am an avid mystery reader and romantic suspense reader, there was suspense (little) and romance, but not enough of mystery and suspense for my taste. I often found myself falling asleep while reading this book, but some parts did have some thrilling moments. If you like slower paced books, then I would suggest that you read this book. I definitely will not read Stargazer at the result of the Water Nymph. This is a good book, and she is a good writer but I do not like slower paced books. Sometimes the characters were not very believeable, and when there was suspense, it went as soon as it came.

I have to say that this is one of the worst books I have ever read. It is the perfect cure for insomnia. I fell asleep within 15 minutes of each reading. The characters were shallow and unrealistic. I found myself rereading parts just to keep things straight. I could not visualize the settings when reading and I found situations to be hokey. Save your money. If you want to give it a chance, check it out from the library!

What a boring book! There was no "Who Done It" suspense in the story. There was no excitement what so ever. The "hero" of this book was a WIMP. My Lord! This was the first book I read of 'Jaffe' and I will say that it is going to be the last. And what is it with this ending?! Blah!

I don't believe this book even deserves one star! I have to say that this is one of the worst books that I have ever read. I fell asleep within 15 minutes of each reading. It is a great cure for insomnia. The characters are bland and unrealistic. I found myself rereading parts to just keep things straight. The writing jumped all over the place and you don't get much of a consistant flow. I could not get a visual sense of the scenes as they played out. I am very disappointed that I spent good money on this drivel. I gave this book to my dog as a chew toy. If you would like to read something from an exceptional talent, read anything written by Kristin Hannah.
 Mysterious, Romantic, Suspenseful: Absolutely Stunning November 3, 2000

THE WATER NYMPH is Michele Jaffe's second book in the Arboretti series. This one takes place in England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Crispin Foscari, the dashing Earl of Sandal, has been framed and Queen Elizabeth has given him only a few weeks to solve the mystery and clear his name. The beautiful Sophie Champion has been simultaneously investigating the murder of her godfather. Never did she imagine that she would be swept into a world of intrigue, deception, and sizzling passion after meeting the Earl of Sandal and becoming involved in their entwining mysteries.This book blew me away. Plain and simple. I never knew that mystery could be seamlessly woven into the intricate folds of romance to create a passionate, suspenseful, and touching love story. Although this story possesses all the classic romantic elements like love lost, love gained, sex and suspense, this romance is much more complex: it takes all these elements and increases them tenfold to create a romance like none other. The chemistry between Crispin and Sophie is undeniable. The mystery surrounding them is electrifying. The hot love scenes are hypnotizing. The beautiful backdrop of Crispin's exotic hanging garden is breathtaking. This book is worth far more than 5 stars. Not only does it follow in the magnificent footsteps of THE STARGAZER, but the ending is so spectacular that you'll be left yearning for the story to go on forever.
