Summary: Wonderful - Mystical - Most read
Review: Ms. Lowell has three books in this series - Untamed, Forbidden and Enchantment. All three is a must read for lovers of midieval romance. (Actually romance in general.) I only wish that she would write a fourth book - Eric's story - than I would feel like the saga has been completely told. These books are on my bookshelves and have been reread many times.

Summary: A Perfect Romantic Fantasy
Review: Outstanding! This was one of the best romance novels that I have ever read. The characters were interesting and appealing; the story was original and creative. The heroine is Amber the Untouched, so named because of her special affinity to amber -- all things amber belong to her -- and because of her special ability to feel the emotions of others by touching them. Lowell thoroughly explores both the advantages and the drawbacks of such an ability. The hero, Duncan of Maxwell, the Scots Hammer (his name is charming and lyrical, like much of the writing in this book) is the perfect combination of strength and sensitivity. The amber prophecy, the revelation that attended Amber's birth, defines the cosmology of the book. As a lover of fantasy, I was totally captivated by it! Amber and Duncan's story is gracefully and beautifully told. Like everyone else, I can't wait for Erik's story!

Summary: Wonderful, worth multiple readings
Review: Please, please, write Erik's story. Elizabeth Lowell has always been on my keeper list and I reread her stories many times. I really enjoy the series books with spill over characters and keeping up with old friends. I'm in love with Amber and Duncan and have even starting appreciating the wonderful texture and feel of amber stone, I just won't try burning it like Amber did in the story. Historical romance makes history live for me. Forget the dry discourse of past events, give me characters and plot and help me "feel" the times. I don't care if it's "exactly accurate", I like to experience for a few hours the flavors of past times. Keep up the good work Elizabeth, your writing is wonderful.

Summary: It felt like I was watching a movie...
Review: This book is wonderful. I really felt that the characters jumped right out of the pages. The whole fantastic world that Amber lives in was so real, I felt as if I could actually see it - as if I were watching a movie rather than reading a book. The love story of Amber & Duncan is haunting. Hurrah for Elizabeth Lowell! One other note: After reading the review, I realized that this was actually a sequal. This book can definitely stand on its own. However,I am delighted to learn that there are two more books connected to this storyline!

Summary: Another Masterpiece by Elizabeth Lowell.
Review: This is a splendid tale. A tale in which you are taken into a dark world of Learned and Sorcery. I found this novel to be quite intriging. Amber The Untouched. Duncan The Scots Hammer. He came to her in shades of darkness. Upon first touching him, Amber feels light and pleasure such as she has never known before. For Amber has known only darkness in touching another human. She could scry the truth from another person, but in doing so, it only brings her pain. Forbidden. Duncan awakes in the beautiful Ambers care. He has lost his memory. He cannot remember anything of his past life. Only the love from Amber saves him from the dark seething memories without answer. They forge a love, despite Duncans uncertainty with his past. But it is as if their lives are inexplicably entertwined. Amber is almost certain who Duncans true identity is. Yet she is afraid to reveal. When Duncan finally realizes who he is, he feels such betrayal from the Amber beauty. She had known, and in doing so, keeping it from him, she had forsaken him. Betrayal, hurt and anger fill them both. Will Ambers love be enough to heal the Scots Hammer? Or will Duncans immense feelings of anger and betrayal destroy all that they have? Including his precious Amber? This is a great story. You will love it.

Summary: Beautiful!
Review: This is just another example of Elizabeth Lowell's remarkable work. In my opinion, this book was not as great as the first one, but it is great nonetheless. Amber the Untouched and Duncan the Scots Hammer are a memorable couple. And I love how Lowell has Duncan remember bits and pieces but never a whole memory. Something will trigger a memory, but as quickly as it came, it is gone. The only thing I thought that would make the book more, would be if Amber was a little stronger. Though, I can understand why she did many things the way she did. This book also has one of the most memorable scenes from any book I have read. The scene where Cassandra *teaches* Duncan the true power and pain of Amber's "gift". I HIGHLY recommend this series of book, though I would also recommend reading them in order of sequence.

Summary: "The BEST Elizabeth Lowell I have read"
Review: This is the best EL I have read. The story is fast paced, with wonderful sub-plots and characters. Descriptions of the surround was vivid and convincing. Each character was believable, individual with their own emotions, personalities, habits...very enjoyable. This is a great book to read and re-read. This is an incredible series thus far - will be beginning the last of the series once it arrives in the mail...smile.
