      I read this book some years ago and decided I needed to read it again. Ms Johnson has a style of writing that sometimes make you want to smack her characters just to knock some sense into them. This book is no different. While I know that the aristocracy of Europe often married for alliances instead of love it is sad that so many were probably very miserable. My one real problem with this book is that Etienne was worldly enough to know that if he really wanted a divorce from his wife he would need some leverage. This book like all the others I have read by Ms. Johnson is lavish in its descriptions and lush in its love scenes. The dialogue can be a little abrupt at times but the main characters do love each other and come to enjoy that love. If you like you historical romance with a little more spice than normal you will probably enjoy this book.

    What reviewers are saying about Special Delivery:

    10 STARS OUT OF 10 STARS!! Bookcrossing.com

    5 STARS!! Special Delivery is a wonderful surprise. I started reading this story, not really knowing what to expect, and was delighted with the story Susanne Marie Knight brought to life. If you are at all familiar with Roman mythology, Special Delivery will have an added level of enjoyment as you meet the characters that change Ralph's life. The characters' veiled references to mythology as well as Ralph's dry wit will have you smiling at their levity and humor. Ralph has a self-deprecating sense of humor that blends well with the first person telling of this story. Ms. Knight's writing style and delivery ensures that readers are entertained and rewarded for taking the time to read her work. Special Delivery is a short story that delivers a quick, refreshing, and romantic twist that is sure to charm.--Fallen Angel Reviews

    4 Roses! Special Delivery is a short story and only spans a few minutes in the life of Ralph [Dunmeyer]. The story is fast paced and the dialogue is great. We get to see what Ralph is thinking and feeling but not the other characters in the book, not even in the end. The Fates do have plans for everyone and they did a little show and tell with Ralph. You might learn that you don't have to change completely in order to find happiness and love. If you have a little time to spare and want to learn a little about Greek and Roman mythology then pick up Special Delivery.--A Romance Review

The old Ralph Dunmeyer is going the way of the Dodo bird. And it all started with an innocent trip to the mailbox. I've finally seen, as my seventh grade teacher was
