Summary: Wonderful!
Review: Susan King writes wonderful, magical books that are more than just romance novels! I love her books. Heather Moon was not as good as the Laird of the Wind (1st) and Angel Knight(2nd), but it was still a very good read and one I would rate as third after Angel Knight. I know to save any of Susan King's books for a vacation day where I can devote the whole day to reading it. I think she is one of the best of the romance writers out there today. I would highly recommend this and all of her books and eagerly (impatiently) wait for her next book.

Summary: A Timeless Treasure
Review: Susan King's books never fail to impress me. She brings history alive within her well-crafted stories and timeless elements of loyalty, bravery, and of course, the power of love. In Heather Moon, I was especially impressed with secondary characters like the heoine's feisty father Archie. I wouldn't mind a romance centered around him someday, Susan!

Summary: Excellent - characters were wonderfully human!
Review: The author did a great job describing the characters' feelings. Both characters wrestled with serious issues; Tamsin - her deformed hand and half-breed status and William his father's cruel death followed by his imprisonment and his feelings of unfulfilled love. The author skillfully writes of the gradual ability each character develops to overcome their fears and problems. I was especially impressed with the way the author writes of Tamsin's handicap. William loves her so much that he doesn't even see her as handicapped, only as the beautiful person she is. She, in turn, begins to believe she is beautiful. The Heather Moon is a heartwarming story of how fate intervenes in the lives of these two characters and they come to believe they not only love each other, but are destined to be together.

Summary: A beautiful, haunting tale
Review: There is a tenderness to this story that I abolutely adore. William and Tamsin are both just marvelous...and Ms. King had me aching and eager for them to finally break down the barriers inside each one of them and admit that they're divinely, beautifully meant to be. A rich, lush cast of characters and an intriguing plot with the infant queen...a beautiful, haunting tale. It's a superb blending of metaphysical elements, rich historical detail, and her trademark spellbinding sensuality--and I mean that in more than just sexual attraction (though the sexual tension was thick enough to need a very large knife to cut it) but it extended so much further, giving the reader a feast of all the senses. Ms. King, as always, delivers a powerful, lyrical, unforgettable tale.

Summary: Beautiful story
Review: This is a beautiful story of love between a wonderful man and a woman who has been emotionally scarred by the reaction of others to her physical deformity. Will accepts Tamsin's deformed hand without question and often holds and kisses it. He shows her a passage in a book stating that those with deformities "are not to be pitied or suspected . . . but should be regarded as healthy beings . . . as part of the wondrous and endless variety of Nature in all her aspects." Both Will and Tamsin have guarded hearts, and their attraction to each other is beautiful. Will is the perfect hero: a man with a pure heart and soul. He is strong, passionate, devoted and honorable, as well as sensitive, compassionate, tender and gentle. Here is a beautiful man loving a less than perfect woman in whom he sees only beauty (except, perhaps, for her temper!). With its perfectly-paced character development and lyric dialog, I read every word of this story. The rhythm of the story is disturbed only once, during the climax, but it brought a smile to my face, so I thought I'd mention it. (I could hear an editor saying, "But where'd that branch come from, hey?")

Summary: I was disappointed....
Review: This is the first of this author that I have read and I was very disappointed. I found it difficult to get into the book because there is so much superfluous text. There isn't a lot of interaction between the hero and heroinne until about halfway through the book. The plot moved slowly and was hard to stick with. At times, I found myself skimming sections just to get on to the interesting parts. It seems like you are waiting forever to find out what happens and then it all happens right at the end of the book. I did find the historical content to be very good. If I was looking for historical novel as opposed to a historical romance novel, this would be it.

Summary: Good Book!
Review: This was a well written, interesting book. It is about two people who start out in totally different circumstances. The first time they see each other, she is a half gypsy girl with a deformed hand, that is going home with the father she had just met. He is a boy that is going to prison, who had just seen his father brutally murdered. This was a well written book, with a few surprises in the story line that keeps you reading. The explanation they give for palm reading is very interesting. When they finally do get together, they have some trials and tribulations that they must deal with. I haven't read many of King's books, but I will be looking for them now. Enjoy!

Summary: Half-gypsy, half-lady, and wholly entertaining
Review: Who can resist a spirited gypsy with a mind of her own treading the fine line between the world of her birth and the world in which she grew to womanhood---neither of which fully accepts her. Tamsin is torn by the demands of the two worlds when William Scott rides into her life. The two knock heads and hearts as they work to undermine a plot to destroy the infant queen of Scotland. And with these two hardheads, the sound is explosive. Well written, well researched, and well worth it!
