5 Stars are not enough!

This book has it all. Romance, passion, suspense, excitement, humor, and great love scenes.Gunnar and Raina are a very believable couple. Gunnar is a powerful knight, but not inhumanly untouchable. Raina is innocent, but she has courage and strength. They don't fall in love too fast, nor are you made to wait until the last pages for their relationship to blossom. When they do come together, they are magic. You can't help but feel joy for them.Gunnar is a proud knight, and the Lord of his castle. He is brave and strong, but his soul is lost in a quest for vengeance against the man who slew his parents. His heart and his life are changed forever when innocent Raina gives him her favor at a tournament of local knights. To his dismay, he finds out that she is the daughter of the very man he seeks to kill. As a man of honor, Gunnar refuses to take the man's life in any way other than a man to man battle. To insure that Raina's father will meet him in battle, Gunnar steals her away to his humble castle. All the while, another nemesis seeks to destroy both Gunnar and Raina's father. What will become of them all? You'll have to read the book to find out!At 325 pages, I still read this book in one day... because I simply could not put it down. Never boring, you'll enjoy the fierce sword battles, romantic loves scenes, and humorous antics of Gunnar's knights.

Wonderful!

This book is full of everything you could want. It is an exciting adventure through the entire story, and I couldn't put it down. Be sure to check out more by this author, all are good!

Prepare to fall in love...

LORD OF VENGEANCE is a colorful tale of medieval pageantry that centers around a knight driven by his hunger for vengeance and the beautiful innocent who reclaims his soul from the grip of hatred; who teaches him to feel again, and to love. Beautiful, memorable, with a fresh, lyrical voice and vivid imagery. The plot whizzes along with an edge-of-your-seat suspense subplot featuring one of the most cunningly wicked villains I've seen in a long time. A powerful debut, and I for one am anxiously awaiting LADY OF VALOR...

An AWESOME Medieval!

How did I miss this book when it came out last summer! What an awesome story! I blazed thru LORD OF VENGEANCE in a couple of days and was very sorry when I came to the end. Tina St. John has written an emotional, fast paced story packed with action and romance and so many wonderful characters. I felt like I was right there with Gunnar and Raina the whole time, and I just adored Alaric (Gunnar's squire) and even crotchety old Agnes!If you like the medievals of Lynn Kurland or Elizabeth Elliot, you're going to love Tina St. John! And I'm so glad to see she has a new one out next month! Keep them coming, Ms. St. John!

This book is a must read for lovers of Medieval Romance!

I fell in love with Gunnar Rutledge from page one. And when Raina d'Bussy entered the scene, proud and nobel, she captured my heart as well. Fast paced with page turning chapters kept me glued right up to its heart-warming end. This book left me with the knowledge that true love spans all times and truly avails. Tina St. John has mastered the craft of writing and will be on the scene for a long time to come! She weaves wonderfully spun tales to escape with and leaves you with a smile on your face.
