Summary: Meh.....
Review: I agree with the other negative reviews - a bit too much sugar and cheese. I had to push myself to keep reading the book. 1/2 way through I started skipping like mad just to see how it ended. Horribly predictable and fluff character depth. Sad...I really liked Lady and the Wolf. This one didn't cut it.

Summary: Insipid
Review: I have read a few of Julie Beard's book before and really enjoyed them. This was not her best effort. The heroine was to weird to empathize with...and there were too many strange sub-plots. I liked the hero's brother more than I did him. I finished this book grudgingly, though it was hardly worth the effort.

I HOPE THIS JUST WASN'T FOR THE MONEY...ALSO GOOD READ IS "ROMANCE OF THE ROSE" OR "THE MAIDENS HEART" BUT I WOULD STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE.

Review: I loved the story and couldn't put it down. The hero is so sweet and the ending is unusual. (at least I think so) I actually cried!
I would definately reccommend it to anyone and would read it again.

Summary: Medieval Romance at its best!
Review: Julie Beard is second to none at writing memorable medieval romances. Her plotting is well researched, realistic, and always surprising. But her characters are the book's greatest strength. They have strong motivations and are complicated. When the heroine and hero finally come together--wow, I'm right there with them. This book is one of my favorites. A real keeper!

Summary: A Keeper..
Review: This novel is one of a very select few to make me cry at the end. I found the ending told from the Hero's point of view incredibly touching, it made the characters even more endearing to me. I loved this novel and I found myself returning to certain parts to reread and relive the pleasure I took in Ariel's story. I found the dwarf's character a little unsettling but it was still a wonderful read. I did not find the characters insipid in the slightest...they had flaws like real people which made their story that much sweeter.

Summary: dark
Review: This was my first Julie Beard book. The synopsis seemed interesting. I love romances set within this time frame. Well, I must say...this book was a lot darker than I had anticipated. Certainly not a 'sigh & swoon' like some by Garwoods, Deveraux, Mason, Crosby, etc. The female lead was pretty depressing, her dreams quite haunting. Overall, the mood was dark and I didn't feel a 'lift' at the end, even though love conquers all. I wouldn't really recommend this book to anyone...too heavy for romance, not quite heavy enough for goth. Disappointed.
