Customer Reviews

One of a Kind Read!!!

This is the first book I have ever reviewed, and I am doing so to let people know how great this book is. It is filled with a great story and exciting love scenes. I dislike reading books that skim over the good stuff and Sasha Lord does none of that. I read this book straight through one evening. It is long- but I could not put it down. I cannot wait for her next books to come out. Usually I order older books because I cannot find any current romances that really capture me. For a first book, this was amazing and I just want to say thank you Ms. Lord for bringing romance novels back. Excellent book!!!

Glorious!! Beautiful!! Powefully Sensual!!

I had never really thought to write a review, until now!! I just have to let people know that they SHOULDN'T pass over this book!! I always hope to find a romance book that has a great story, passionate love scenes, a twist of the magical or fantasy, powerful leading characters!! This book gave me everything I look for. A glorious and strong hero and a magical heroine. The passion between them is mind blowing!! If you don't like sex scenes being too explicit..this is not for you!! It is HOT!!! I can't stand those books where, in the love scenes they start to kiss and then.....voila....it's the next morning. I'm greedy....I like the full shebang!! (Wink!!) This book DEFINITELY has it. The mystical qualities of our heroine are beautiful; our hero....to die for!! (As usual) And the story itself truly is a great one. I'd love to tell you more but I just don't wish to give anything away!! Please.....take my word for it (and those of the other reviewers)....READ THIS BOOK.....you'll honestly LOVE it!! Just beware......keep a fan handy for those VERY STEAMY love scenes!! And they truly are LOVE scenes!! I'm going to check out more 'Sasha Lord' books!! I just hope Ms Lord isn't like some authors who manage a brilliant first book with all you require for a marvellous read....then the following books become so different.....less love scenes......stories become bland etc. PLEASE Sasha Lord.....keep the imagination you have now and embroider on it!! Please don't take away from it!! Bravo for a truly stunning book!! And THANK YOU for giving us romance readers a true gem of a book!!

A Wild Tale!

Full of adventure and fantasy, this was a wonderful and compelling debut novel by Lord. Ronin and Kalial make a great team, once they learn to overcome their own distrust and stubbornness. Both strong-willed and passionate, they manage to build an unconventional love and trust for one another, and have no qualms about displaying it. I have yet to read a story that involves so much action both in and out of the bedroom. Extremely heated sex scenes mixed with deceit, and a lot of action make for one of the best reads that I have ever experienced. I could not put it down.

A wonderful Scottish historical romance

At Castle Roseneath, Ronin McTaver survives the murders of his family though he feels haunted by the cries of his one sister who did not have time to receive the poison from their desperate mother to stop their betrayer Lothian from raping and torturing them. An earthquake saved his sister with death and Ronin escapes without revealing the secrets of the tapestry of the Second Hunt that is a roadmap to the Scottish Gold.Ronin flees to the "safety: of the evil Loch Nidean Forest. Inside the forbidden forest, Ronin faces a new foe, but captures the boy leader of his attackers. Using his prisoner as a hostage he forces the forest fighters to cede him safety to the ocean. Ronin is stunned that he is attracted to a male especially an underage lad. He is unaware that his prisoner is a she. As an inferno threatens the forest, thinking that Lothian's mercenaries caused it and how he failed his siblings, Ronin vows to keep the lad safe even from his own unwanted desire, but what will happen when he learns that Kal is a female who wants him too?UNDER A WILD SKY is a tremendous Scottish historical romance that fans will appreciate and place immense pressure on debut author Sasha Lord to match the intensity of this descriptive novel. Ronin is a wonderful protagonist struggling with guilt for living and with his growing attraction towards his too young "male" prisoner. Kal seems mystical as she lives in a forest feared by outsiders with her only true friend being a Scottish wild McCat. This is a winner for sub-genre readers.
