An immediate success, it was the start of her journey to becoming the world’s most famous and most read romantic novelist of all time. Inspiring a whole generation of readers around the globe with her exciting tales of adventure, love and intrigue, she became synonymous with the Romance genre. And she still is to this day, having written over 644 romantic fiction books.
As well as romantic novels, she wrote historical biographies, 6 autobiographies, plays, music, poetry and several advice books on life, love, health and cookery – totalling an incredible 723 books in all, with over 1 billion in sales.

Always a passionate advocate of woman’s health and beauty, she was dubbed ‘the true Queen of Romance’ by Vogue magazine in her lifetime. Her legend continues today through her wonderfully vivid romantic tales, stories that help you escape from the day to day into the dramatic adventures of strong, beautiful women who battle, often against the odds, eventually to find that love conquers all.

Just okay.
I know why many people feel that her pink collection is unfinished. This one could have done with even just a few pages more.
For most of the book, the ninny heroine allows the OM to bully her into a forced engagement and to treat her badly.
All the while she is developing a friendship with the Hero and admires him a lot. Still she cannot bring herself to tell him of her problem w the OM.
It takes the whole book for her to break it off w the unsuitable OM and 2 paragraphs for her and the Hero to declare their love for each other.
The end…

Touching the Stars was an amazing read! It all begins for a young girl named Justina as a basic traveling to India story. Although, then Marcus comes into the picture and his bravery was so inspiring to me when he saves Justina. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to travel to foreign lands.

Cute and prim&proper novel. The main villain drives me absolutely mad!

A little predictable but an enjoyable and easy read. Not one that I would re-read anytime soon though as the plot and characters were all pretty much one dimensional and they were what they were! My first Barbara Cartland and probably not my last.
