Summary: Superior start for new entrants into the milieu
Review: Lisa Lee and Tee Morris have a well crafted first novel to share with the lucky reader. The solid mix of history and fantasy evokes many alternate history authors and the detail of the Morevi world adds instant texture to this work. I was especially pleased at the character interaction between the two characters. Both are strong but reveal many hidden intricacies and subtle personality traits which breathe added life into a VERY lively book.

From its humble internet beginnings, the story of the two authors success is as fascinating as the book itself. I had the distinct pleasure of enjoying this book in the pleasant clime of the islands, it made the tale that much more real.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Welcome to Morevi and let the adventure begin...
Review: Look out Errol Flynn, there's a new guy in town and his name is...Rafe Rafton!

Morevi is jam packed with intrigue and excitement every time you turn the page. This epic novel is fast paced and filled with characters that emerge from the written words to delight the reader's imagination as you join them on their fantastical journey.

Through Tee Morris and Lisa Lee's gifted prose, they take you on a wild voyage through time to an entirely new world that will keep you in awe at every new discovery. If that's not enough for you--there's more: The preciseness of the historical aspects of this novel blended into the fantastical world of Naruihm and the realm of Morevi was so seamless, I couldn't tell where one ended and the other began-a perfect blending of fact and fiction!

Still need more of a reason to read this fabulous story? How about political intrigue-back stabbing-forbidden love-and mystical creatures and magical powers...oh my! It's all here folks waiting for you to read it.

If you don't want to miss out on one of the best written fantasy novels around, you better get yourself a copy, take a couple days off, and travel to the mystical realm of Morevi and let the adventure sweep you away--as it did to us...

Summary: Calling All Fantasy Lovers
Review: Morevi is a terrific book for anyone who loves fantasy! It is a must read. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll hate some of the characters, but you won't be able to put it down. The epic story of Queen Askana Moldarin and Captain Rafe Rafton of the Defiant is one of the best literary pieces of the year!

A must read! Definitly one of my top ten books that I have ever had the pleasure of reading!

Lisa and Tee have done an amazing job bringing the world of Morevi to life!

Summary: Adventure + Intrigue + Romance = Morevi
Review: Step back 500 years to a world of swashbuckling pirates in search of adventure and treasure, and you will learn to treasure the story of brash Rafe Rafton, as he goes through the mystical world of Morevi and its rival kingdoms with Queen Askana. This unusual fantasy connects King Henry the VIII's England with Morevi through a magic portal in the ocean known as, the "rift". Humans mingle with elves and other mystical characters with magical powers. Rafton helps Askana find her enemies, in a story dominated by political intrigue. But you certainly get the hint that a love story may develop, with all the time they put together. As the story develops, you will also discover a magical spell ties our two heroes together. The ending will leave you fulfilled, and justice is served.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Morevi
Review: Tee and Lisa have created a wonderful world full of rich characters and mystical settings. The story is skillfully told and a delight to read.

Morevi is well worth buying and would be a worthy addition to anyone's fantasy collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: And then what happened?
Review: Tee Morris and Lisa Lee have created a rich, meaty read... full of political scheming hidden within kingdom alliances, swashbuckling matched only by verbal sparring, undeniable attraction combatted by insufferable pride.....

There is just the right mix of gorgeous scenery, cultural traditions, historical accounts, and political intrigue. And yet, none of it overwhelms the importance of the characters. They draw you into their emotions, struggles and triumphs, and you find yourself unable to put down the book for fear of missing what happens next.

As a self-avowed fan of plain old trashy romance in any setting, MOREVI took me to a new level of literary appreciation. I can't wait to find out what happens next... to Rafe, Askana, and their worlds.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent!
Review: Tee Morris and Lisa Lee have created an excellent adventure that literally sweeps you away, keeping you glued to the pages to the end, then sighing when you have to close the covers. The characters are vibrant and alive and compelling, the world enchanting on a grand scale.

Morevi is a fine showcase for the talents of Tee Morris and Lisa Lee. I really look forward to more from these two.

Summary: Lord of the Rings influence along with other classics
Review: The book is a very interesting read, but I couldn't help but notice the heavy influence of several classics, particularly the Lord of the Rings and another book I forget the title at the moment (when referencing the main Male character as "Sea Wolf" - this was taken from an old classic). The description of the Morevian culture is original and interesting. The authors succeeded in painting a picture of what the Morevi world is like. I am a bit disappointed though with a lack of originality in some parts, particularly when describing the Elves (well, I guess JRR Tolkien's influence shaped all our understanding of Elves and to deviate from it doesn't seem believable!) and Rafe's character (I would call him a stereotypical cliche'd male hero, i.e. like a menthos - tough on the outside but mushy deep down).

Other than that, I enjoyed reading this book.
