Great story!

I enjoyed this tale very much. Really likeable characters and nicely done baddies. Great work by this author. I'm adding her name to my list of writers to watch.
One of my favorite books now!

I can't wait for Marliss Moon's next book after reading this great first novel. I loved the characters and the story. It kept me interested from start to finish, and, of course, made me fall in love with Christian, too. He is attractive and sexy, and the book's cover does him credit! A very satisfying romance that I could not put down. I will definitely keep this book to read again and again.
fantastic debut!...

Christian de la Croix was desparate to save the life of his unborn son which makes for a dramatic opening in this fantastic medieval tale by a new author. The author quote on the cover says it all! I am a fairly new fan of medieval romance but if I had not been....this awesome debut book would have clenched it for me. If you have not yet read it do yourself a favor and get a copy soon and fall in love with this hero!!
PHENOMENAL !!!

This is a *commanding* first novel from a hot "new" author. Her vivid description of the time is beyond incredible, and the steamy romance is enough to keep my thoughts out of order for a week... I simply cannot wait until the sequel comes out next fall!
