Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Sorry, I've read better medieval romances.
Review: Overall the romance was okay. However, the story was completely ruined for me because I couldn't get past the way Lady Kyla was mercilessly hounded like a rabid dog by our hero. King and court were no prize either. Lastly, the surprising revelation at the end was really weak & came out of nowhere.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A GOOD BOOK
Review: Shana Abe has done it again. She has written a wonderful love story. It has just the right amount of tension between the hero and the heroine to keep the story from becoming vapid, but not so much as to make the reader wonder if they will ever get it right. A wonderful follow up to her debut novel "A Rose in Winter". I just hope she keeps on writing at this same high quality level. I loved it! :-)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Wonderful Love story. 5 Stars on anyone's list.

Summary: Romance at its Finest!
Review: The story of Lord Roland Strathmore, a battle hardened warrior whose fiersome nature earned him the dark title "Hound of Hell," and the woman he was once once betrothed to and must now capture and bring before the King, a woman who is running from scandalous rumors of murder and betryal which surround her family. But upon taking her prisoner, Roland quickly finds himself struggling with his overwhelming attraction to the beautiful, tormented Kyla, and soon finds himself willing to forfeit everything to help her unearth the truth about her past, and unwittingly, the most shocking truth of all: the truth about his dark, hardened soul.

This book is wonderful! It is extremely well-written, powerful, and moving. As she did in "A Rose in Winter," Ms. Abe breathes life into her characters with her descriptive and cogent writing. A must read for any fan of the historical romance, or for a superb love story. This book was so good that my only wish was tht it was longer!

Summary: Another Great Romance with Mystery
Review: What another great story from this new author. Lord Roland Stathmore ordered to find and capture Lady Kyla Warwick - his one time betrothed. Because of a huge scandal at court, Kyla and her brother Alister had run away to relatives in the highlands of Scotland, and Lord Roland, aptly named the Hound of Hell would do his duty to his soverign and bring them back.

Strathmore had never met his betrothed and was not ready for her incredible beauty, and spirit. Temptation and feelings he could not control, led him to gamble his very life in an attempt to save her from the Tower.

What follows is a marvelous story of romance, a little bit of magic, quite a good mystery, and an unforgettable love story. What more could you ask for!
