Summary: Kept me captivated!
Review: A wonderful mix of time travel fantasy and romance with compelling characters that brings to life the whole debacle of the Salem witch hunts in an emininently readable format. Her heroine is a bit flippant (although not as much so as some of Ms. Edghill's other heroines) and clings a bit too tenaciously to her modernisms but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Am eagerly awaiting a follow-up in the same style...

Summary: Rosemary Edghill's Met by Moolight
Review: An eerie bolt of lightening strikes, taking a young modern day witch back to the days of the English witch hunts. And tells the story of those times like it has never been told before. This is a powerful, haunting, mystical story with characters that are so real you will think of them for years. Absolutely fabulous!.

Summary: Two words: Loved It!
Review: I didn't think I would like this book, but I read it and did not regret it. The heroine is Wiccan, the hero is sexy and intense with secrets that the reader is dying to find out. The love scenes make you want to take a shower and the whole novel is the kind where you have to read it slowly in order not to miss anything. I just wish there was an epilogue. Otherwise great novel. I read this novel awhile back and would read it again and again.

Summary: More than a romance novel.....
Review: I rarely read romance novels because I find them to be too "fluffy" for my taste. I found this one hard to resist, however, since Rosemary Edghill is my favorite author. What a fantastic story! I was hooked from the first paragraph and had a hard time putting the book down! The historical accuracy surrounding the Witch trials in Europe makes this more than a romance novel...it's like reading a very interesting piece of reference. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is interested in this period of history (whether they are a Witch or not)!

Summary: Historically interesting, yet fraught with heaving bosoms
Review: I was never a fan of historical romance novels, and now I remember why. Met by Moonlight, an intriguing novel that explores the often-overlooked Burning Times in Europe, reminded me of the ubermovie "Titanic": thoroughly engaging history, marred by irritating lovers you just wanted to shove out of the way of the true drama. Author Rosemary Edghill has obviously done her homework on this tragic era, yet when the story line turned to the traditional heaving bosom and throbbing loins of the star-crossed lovers, the book lost its edge. The romantic scenes seemed almost obligatory, wedged in and detracting from the book's more engaging plot line. This novel came highly recommended by pagans and witches for its representation of the true practice of magic (healing and honoring nature); as a witch, I was very impressed with its accuracy and details. If you'd like to learn more about the Burning Times and witchcraft from a source more informal than a textbook, this is one novel to check out. But watch out for that sweat-soaked couple in the foreground.

Summary: Realistic and romantic!
Review: I've read all of her other books, and I've enjoyed them all... but this one is the best one yet. A wonderful feeling of period, some really cool characterization and realistic plotting, and good prose. Brava!
