Excellent sequel - By: Susan Gould, 31 Oct 2002
This is the sequel to The Lily & The Sword where we first met Gunnar, he has been sent to Somerford by his liege Lord Radulf who believes that Lady Rose the mistress of Somerford is a traitor. She agrees to hire Gunnar & his mercenaries to protect her lands but doesn't realise that he is in fact there to spy on her. Lady Rose a widow is lonely & the only person she trusts is Constance her maid, she dare not trust Gunnar who does not know that the person who is the traitor is Lady Rose's father who has his eye on Crevitch the estate of Lord Radulf & Lady Lily but graduallly Rose begins to trust & love Gunnar until she discovers what his reward will be, her home. This is a fine sequel to The Lily & The Sword, Rose is a strong woman she had to be for in the days of William the Conqueror no one's lands were safe & women were not left unmarried for long, Gunnar is a strong warrior but who can also be compassionate. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.
worth it? - By: M. Bacon, 25 Oct 2002
I love a good historical romance & was expecting this to be one but I must admit that I am abit disappointed. Neither the heroine or the hero stirred much of an interest & the standard villains was very predictable. The love scenes were abover average but with a rather slow story I admit to flipping through some pages just to get to the end of the book. OK but not great.
