Rating: Summary: Alex and Gwendolyn-SPOILERS Review: Favorite scene with Gwendolyn- Getting the stone to destroy her enemy.Favorite scene with Alex- The final battle scene. Together- Making love after she almost dies to protect Alex's people.
Rating: Summary: Worth the read. Review: For the most part, an entertaining mix of romance and magic. I found the combination of superstition with the surprise twist at the end entertaining, although almost a little too hard to believe. I did like the characters, though. Seeing the "crazy" laird Alex and the "witch" Gwendolyn falling in love slowly is enough to keep you turning the pages. Overall, a good book and worth the read.
Rating: Summary: Excellent! Review: Gwendolyn is sentenced to die at the stake as a witch in 13th century Scotland, but that's just where the story starts. Condemned by false accusations and spurned by her clan, Gwendolyn is rescued from the pyre by Mad MacDunn, a laird at the end of his rope and in search of a witch, his last chance to cure his dying son. The character studies in this book are outstanding. I cried at the injustice of Gwendolyn's treatment and I cheered when the MacDunn's defended her. I hated to put this book down and would easily have read it in one sitting if I had the opportunity. It was captivating and interesting. The strength of this book is in the strength of Gwendolyn's character and I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys historical romance. I got two of Ms. Monk's books at the same time and am now impatient to get into the next story. Ms. Monk is now on my shelf of favorite authors.

Rating: Summary: Best book I've read in a long time. Review: I loved this book. It's the first one of Karyn Monk's that I have read, but it won't be the last one. I didn't want it to see it end.
Rating: Summary: I was more than pleasantly surprised! Review: I picked this book up because I was looking for something similar to the books written by a favorite authour, Julie Garwood. I ended up with more than I had bargained for!! Not only was it a good read, it was funny, moving and so entrancing I could not put it down. The characters were more believeable than most you find in these books and so were the emotions they portrayed. The historical accuracy was at an exceptional level, the supporting cast of characters was funny and believable. I can't wait to find some of her other books because this author and her books are definetly keepers!!
Rating: Summary: A surprise Review: I picked up this book at a friend's house while aimlessly searching for something to do. I do not normally read romance novels, but this one surprised me with it's wonderful storyline. I bought the book as soon as possible after I left my friend's house and found that I could not put it down. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good story.
