Rating: Summary: A Wild Tale! Review: This book cover description describes the heroine Kalial, as the princess guardian of a legendary forest, dressing in male garb who is mental-telepathy bonded with her companion, a Scottish McCat. She also `speaks' to other forest animals who along with her band of forest men help her to keep people fearful of entering the darkly haunted forest of Loch Nidean. Ronin, a battered warrior, on the run from enemies who have brutally slain his family seeks refuge from his enemies in her woods. Kalial and her forest men attack him, but being a much larger and much stronger warrior, Ronin skillfully repels his attackers. Outnumbered, he boldly seizes their `boy-leader' as a hostage to hold them off. He does not realize until much later, that this small, stubbornly fierce `boy' is actually a beautiful woman who kindles in him a passion that sets them both aflame. As they travel the land together, they will defy their enemies, share numerous adventures, and finally come to realize that along the way they've developed a respect and trust in each another that bonds their true souls in a pre-ordained destiny. For a debut novel of 400 plus pages I was truly thrilled that it captured my imagination so quickly and I became so enthralled with the characters and the adventure that the pages just flew by. Both central protagonists were complex yet skillfully developed. The use of the animals and the mind links will definitely be appealing to the animal lovers out there who enjoy this type of fantasy. Who amongst us wouldn't like to have a little mind link with their pets. In so far as some rather explicit sexual encounters - they do push the envelope a bit but the love story between the two central characters is so great that the raw sensuality was for me extraordinarily written and felt. I am sincerely looking forward to future endeavors by this new author and based upon the sneak peak excerpt of her next novel featuring the daughter of these two amazing people, it is sure to be a winner! --- Submitted by Marilyn, ...

Rating: Summary: One of a Kind Read!!! Review: 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!!!
Rating: Summary: Beautifully written, incredible descriptions of love Review: Under A Wild Sky is a beautifully written legandary tale between two strong characters that plunge headfirst into action filled adventures and exquisite sexual encounters. The book reminds me of the reason I started reading historical romance! Finally, there is an author that is not afraid to explore the nuances of love and sex while describing a facinating story and presenting a powerful statement of equality in love.

Rating: Summary: Got me back into reading historical romances, again! Review: What can I say? I loved...this book!! I had grown quite bored with reading historical romance novels for a couple of years, because they all seemed so similar in plotting, and just couldn't hold my interest! I don't know how I discovered this author, but I'm glad that I did! The characters had their own unique personalities,it wasn't difficult at all to become swept into the story. However, the first few pages were VERY difficult for me as it goes into details of what had happened to Ronin's family, and how they were murdered. Beyond that, the story really moved along and I couldn't put it down. Now, I am anxiously waiting for the sequel that Amazon has already shipped. Yes, the sex scenes were pretty explicit, but this just builds to their growing attraction to each other. Maybe some people don't have that kind of strong, fierce, once in a lifetime love for that one special person in their life? If you desire a well written historical romance that has EVERYTHING to offer, including the "sex", than by all means you must read this book! Enjoy!
