Princess Charming ISBN: 0-553-58120-1

Princess Charming is a torrid Regency romantic suspense novel that never eases up on the sexual tension or the suspense. The taut tale thrives because of the charming but scarred lead characters, who have a past to overcome, a present to survive, and a hope for a future. Sub-genre fans know that an Elizabeth Thornton historical always provides a powerful, entertaining non-stop reading experience. Harriet Klausner

Once again, Ms. Thornton gives us a delightful mixture that satisfies even the most discriminating reader and keeps us begging for more. CG Rendezvous Online

Whisper His Name is a dynamite read . . . with gem-like characters, action packed adventure and a romance to set your blood to boiling. A Five Star Read Suzanne Coleburn, Beaux and Belles of Romance

Whisper His Name was an exciting hold-onto-your seat novel.  Action, intrigue, passion. A real cut above the present day historical romance. The main and secondary characters were intelligent, likable, and multi-faceted.  Whisper His Name is a gem of a book and Ms. Thornton a gem of writer.   Yvonne Zaleski, Paperback Outlet

I loved it!  I read it in less than 24 hours.  I couldn't put it down. I stayed up late and got up early and kept sneaking peeks at work.  It was funny, smart, and romantic. Everything that I love about books.Jean Heighway, Fireside Book Shop

The Trouble With Angels a short story in My Guardian Angel ISBN: 0-553-56916-3

. . a deliciously bewitching tale of love with just a little help

Lady Hannah Marchmont is a willful young woman hell-bent on having adventure. Her reluctant savior is Flynn, a notorious gamester and sometime footman. A rollicking, roller coaster of a tale. (The Literary Times 1995)

Dangerous to Love ISBN: 0-553-56787-X

When London aristocrat Serena Ward disguises herself as an actress for the Jacobite cause, she does not count on attracting the amorous attention of Julian Raynor, owner of a popular gaming club - and die-hard anti-Jacobite. Their first encounter is a study in mistaken identity and sensuality that results in Serena's downfall. Julian, who blames Serena's father for his family's misfortunes, plans to exact revenge by marrying Serena. Tricked into marriage, Serena finds it difficult to maintain her icy reserve toward Julian, and the attraction she feels for him soon turns to love.

In the age-old tradition of love never running smoothly, behind the scenes machinations and treachery ensure that the lovers have much to conquer before they can attain happiness.

Thornton, author of six previous historicals, delivers unique plot twists and sharply drawn characters. She uses enforced separation, a genre taboo, to her advantage as she develops conflict. Her knowledge of the Georgian era is evident and lends flavor to this satisfying read. (Publishers Weekly, June 13, 1994)
