Summary: A MUST NOT READ
Review: I very much enjoyed Earth Song and Warrior's Song. I purchased this one based on the expectations that it would be at least as good. Alas, what a disappointment. I found Graelam to be an ignorant lout. Never have I met such a cruel, unfeeling brute who raped and humiliated the dear Kassia on the pretext that women are naught but animals to be used by their masters. I stuck with the book, mostly because Ms. Coulter does write well and because I liked Kassia and hoped she would find a real man to fall in love with. Graelam's sudden insight to his idiocy came too late in the book to make it worth the time spent - he will never be redeemed in my eyes.

Summary: Hmmm....
Review: I wanted to like this book but I could not. The "hero" is very unlikeable and cruel, always raping his tiny wife and sleeping with other women. The heroine is likeable but stupid to put up with him and being tortured. The constant rape theme in Coulters books has really turned me off of her, but I did enjoy Beyond Eden because that story was really moving and the hero in that one was a real hero who helped Eden get past her traumatic past with gentleness and love. One of Coulters better books and one I will keep. Fire Song will be resold along with her other "I will rape and beat you, but I do love you" type books.

Summary: How did it get published?
Review: I was left disgusted and frustrated by this book. I can accept that this was pretty accurate historically when it comes to relationships and the way women were viewed, but hey - let's remember that this is supposed to be a ROMANCE. Try as I might, I could not find one single redeeming quality about Graelim and found myself feeling nothing but sympathy for this poor naive girl who has been thrown to the wolves. I think Ms. Coulter would have done much better to have developed Graelim's character throughout the novel instead of having him suddenly change overnight. I would like to have seen him slowly start accepting Kassia's presence in his life and gradually find himself loving her. When he finally decided to change, it was at the very end of the book and he never manifested any actions to show he had changed. In fact, he was still ordering poor Kassia around like a servant as he was confessing his love for her. And speaking of servants, Ms. Coulter needs to realize that there is NOTHING romantic about adultery or rape. Initiating a nervous young bride is one thing, but outright serial rape is brutal and unappealing. I was not at all impressed with this novel.

Summary: Fire Song
Review: I've read all of the Song books, and I can honestly say that this is the most emotionally painful novel I've ever read in my life. I thought that the writing and the characters were great, but how this man turned from being so sweet to being a total monster and back again escapes me. I think if it had been me, Graelam would have had to do some serious groveling. All in all, though, I liked the book. It was interesting to see a villain become a hero in a sequel. I've always liked Coulter's books(though she can be a bit brutal sometimes), and I will continue to read them.

Summary: Get this one at the library
Review: If you like stories were the husband rapes his wife, sleeps with his servents and is a total jerk then this one is for you. By the middle of the book I was so disgusted with Graelam character that I just didn't care whether Graelam and Kassia got together or not. Kassia was such a little idiot, she had no backbone. If you want to read this then go to your local library, save your money, I did!

Summary: A terrific large print romance novel by a master writer.
Review: Lord Graelam de Moreton was a hard and ruthless warrior who took what he wanted and never looked back. Kassia de Lorris of Brittany is gentle, yielding, untested in the ways of men, and cheats death only to find herself wedded to a stranger at the behest of her father. Kassia is prepared to pledge obeisance to the Lord Graelam, and Graelam is willing to accept her as innocent and guileless. But a sudden, unexpected event would cast Kassia as having betrayed him, and Kassia must prove otherwise! Ably written by a seasoned and accomplished author, Fire Song is a very highly recommended large print romance that would grace any public library collection.

Summary: OK PEOPLE, lets talk about this one...
Review: OK so I gave it 4 stars, I will agree that it really deserves one star but HEY. I will also admit that I like it a bit rough on occasion and I love a man with some back bone. I don't mind being man-handle a little, but the adultery and the rape thing, I had a hard time dealing with. He would have really had to find me, and I don't mean at my daddy's house either, ok. Graelem rapes his wife Kassia, than gets mad because she's afraid of him and doesn't wanna have sex, so he cheats and she pretty much excepts this behavior. Not me, Not ever... Now Blance and Nan, off the hoook girls. I would have poisned Blance the day I got back and she lied on me to my husband in my face. And Nan, {which is Graelem's mistress and a servant ta boot} Kassia walks in and see's her husband havin sex with the help, and she tries to leave him, well he catches her and makes her go back home and then threatens to rape her again if she ever tries to leave him. WELL HELLLLO RIGHT THERE OK. If I had to be there and Nan is there also, it would be on and crackin every time Graelem turned his back. Every time I saw her I would knock the fire out of her; I would just go into attack mode every morning and would stay that way all day long. Graelem would have gotten rid of her just to save her life. Kassia got in some good licks herself. She slap him in his face about a good 3 times. I just wish she would have had more of a back bone. There was so much more Ms. Coulter could have done with Kassia's character to make more of a force. Don't think I'm crazy but I really did enjoy the book and by the end of the book I was rooting for Graelem to get his wife back. She loved him, he loved her. HEY I'm a sucker for a happy ending, even if it took a bit long for him to come to his sinces.
