Great Story!

I love this book, It has been one of my favorites for many years and I still enjoy it every time I read it. Love the story, the writting, the characters. Anyone looking to read some Tanya Anne Crosby, Get this one!

BEST BOOK EVER!!!

This is my favorite book of all time -- trust me, that's saying something. I'm somewhat of a romance book junkie, which is very disconcerting considering my young age (17). This book became an instant number one -- and still stands as number one. I have read it literally 8 times now and even went so far as to buy a collector's edition. The plot and characters are outstanding, and it is guaranteed to be a book you will never put down once opening -- and reopening and reopening and reopening. It is an enthralling tale and one I strongly recommend -- I would summarize the plot but others have done a wonderful job. DON'T HESITATE, READ THIS BOOK BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the Best

This is one of the best romaces ever written and the only one I have kept for years. I have read it four or five times, at least. It has all the ingredients of a classic love story - great hero and heroine, passionate but forbidden love, suspense, tension, loyalty, dilemma, thrilling plot. Most of all, unlike a growing number of novels of this genre, this one is fresh. Romance novels these days are invariably predictable. Entire chapters have to be skipped over to avoid boredom. They are increasingly filled with contrived phrases and political correctness. Conversations between women are often reproduced from other novels, etc. etc. Often, a whole book reads like a collection of parts from previsouly written stories. This one is from the "golden era."

Another Mid-evil romace winner

I rather enjoyed this story of romance, betrayal and brotherly love. It follows the story of 2 twin brothers who were not identical and in those times that was taken as a sign that someone else had fathered one of them. This led to Blaec's basic bad treatment by his father; though he was the first son his father has left the Earldom to his brother Grahaem. The thing is that Blaec and his brother are very close in spite of this all. Which leads to lots of guilty feelings when Dominique comes to be Grahaem's wife, while Blaec is attracted to her and she to him. But, there is also a conniving brother of Dominique's who is rather sick in the head, and other battles to fight to make this story a good one! If you like medieval romances you will enjoy this one.

fast paced and sexy

I loved this book because the characters didn't waste any time before they got busy, if you know what I mean. Blaec was extremely sexy and Dominique was extremely easy for a virgin. See what I mean about "getting busy". The reading was easy and the characters were memorable. I carried the book with me and read whenever possible.
