Summary: Couldn't put it down!
Review: This is only Jensen's second historical (she's best known for her traditional Regencies) as far as I know, and it's every bit as good as the first! It has a very different feel from Entwined, which I would say has a lot to do with its setting on Scotland's misty Isle of Skye. There's a kind of magic on the island and in the writing that transports you. The book revolves around a fifty year old mystery and the old ballad 'Scarborough Fair' ("parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme") and its impossible riddles. The hero Gabriel is a former soldier from Scarborough, and has come to Skye for redemption. The heroine Maggie is talented with traditional Scottish herbal remedies and takes care of everyone's pain but her own. The way the two come together is magical, definitely romantic, and eventually pretty spicy. I started reading yesterday afternoon and had to stay up half the night to find out how it ended. I loved this book! Suggestion: If you haven't read Entwined, get them together and read them in order. You won't regret it!

Summary: A GREAT FOLLOW-UP TO "ENTWINED"
Review: Though time is said to heal all wounds, Lord Gabriel Louden thinks otherwise. He still suffers remorse and guilt from his failures as a soldier during the Peninsular War against Napoleon. Still, his friend and military colleague Nathan Paget requests Gabriel render a duty for England. Though he prefers to say no and wallow in his misery, Gabriel accepts the mission and journeys to the Isle of Skye to stop the Scottish traitor, L'Ecossais In Skye, Gabriel and his hostess Maggie MacLeod find themselves attracted to one another from their very first meeting. As they begin to fall in love with one another, both share a mutual distrust for the other, which will soon test their chances for a permanent relationship as well as endanger the duo. FALLEN, the sequel to the fabulous ENTWINED, is a fantastic Regency romance. The hero is a fallen angel suffering from battle fatigue over the errors he made that cost men their lives. The battle between right and wrong as seen through the love and disagreement of Maggie and Gabriel is cleverly designed so that the audience must think about whom holds the moral high ground. Award winning has written a complex, exciting tale that will bring her much acclaim as one of the sub-genre's most enjoyable novelists. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Wonderful story from a talented author
Review: Written with a talent for setting that takes the reader straight to the Scottish Highlands. The characters, Gabriel and Maggie, engaged this reader immediately and didn't let go. Toss in intrigue and adventure and what do you have? A book that is well worth reading and a story that is sure to please.
Brava, Ms. Jensen, for creating such a wonderful tale.
