Summary: I guess I'm the wrong reviewer, but..
Review: I read many books because they are connected to the Arthurian legends. A friend of mine gave me this series, more or less as a joke. I suppose if you like romance novels, you will like these. The reason I am reviewing this is in an attempt to have the book removed from my "Instant Recommendations" list...

Summary: I was drawn into the book, the characters were so real.
Review: I started the book a week and a half ago, reading at work during my breaks. I couldn't put it down after I started. Vivian is my heroin. Her magical ablities, inherited from her parents, Merlin and Ninian, and the healing ways learned from Meg and Poloudoras, gave her character intelligence, strength and wisdom. Even though she was afraid of the love she thought would destroy her, she learned that the love from a true heart would be her destiny. Her true love was found in ranks of the enemies camp. The one who kept her from her people, and bound her to an oath that she could not break. He was also the vision she had seen, rising from fire and blood. He was Rorke FitzWarren. The right-hand of William the Conqueror and friend. The battle she fought within herself and the strength and wisdom she showed when when faced with a challenge was part of what made her real. Rorke recognized that she was a unique woman and treated her with the utmost respect. He was her enemy but his true heart and chivalry won her respect and then her love. I very much enjoyed this book and can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Summary: Another Great Merlin-based Fantasy Romance!
Review: Warning, warning, this is a (gulp) romance novel. I have in the past vowed never never to read a romance novel. As a retired history teacher and an author and a student of Arthurian legend I picked up the first in the series and was hooked. The historical context is excellent. Then by the second one I realized that the love scenes were pretty much the same thing over and over. (The cover pictures should have alerted me.) By the third I began to skip the sex scenes and go for the story. Hey, I'm a happily married man with children and grandchildren. I know obviously many people go for this sort of thing as bookshelves are full of them. I promise I am not a snob nor am I knocking those who want this sort of thing. But seriously Ms. Evans you have the talent to write interesting, entertaining best sellers by sticking to story development. Our imagination can fill in the rest. I'm of the generation when you could see two lovers, a bed, and then just a curtain blowing in the breeze with musical background and know all that was going on. I give this book five stars for a historical novel that could have been the best and only one for the bosom heaving scenes. That unfortunately is an average of three. As I used to write on some student papers, "C, You can do much better work than this. I have faith in you."
