Editorial Review: Product Description: Fearless men, their allegiance is to one another, to the oppressed, and to the secret society known as the Brotherhood of the Sword -- and they must never surrender to the passionate yearnings of their noble hearts. A Lady of Love Beautiful, peace-loving Rowena knows that Stryder of Blackmoor is a warrior, and is therefore a man to be shunned. But something burns in the eyes of this powerful knight that she has never seen in others of his kind: a tenderness, and a need to love and be loved. Yet to enter his world would be madness -- against every principle by which she has lived her life -- so she must resist the yearning that would draw her into his arms. A Man of War Duty bound to battle for right, Stryder has never desired the comforts of home and hearth -- until he gazed upon the exquisite face and form of the incomparable Rowena. He dares not succumb to her sensuous charms, for Stryder is a man sworn to know no love. But when treachery and danger threaten, the noble knight must stand as the unsuspecting lady's champion -- though his actions could cost him his honor, his heart. . . and his forbidden dream of happiness.

 Rating:  - dark champion the brotherhood of the swordunknown to me prior to ordering I really enjoyed this author and her tales.

More should have been concluded and there would still have been room for leaving the reader wanting more. Nevertheless, a fast moving and enjoyable read...you won't find yourself skimming through these pages. Rating:  - It's Just OK - Maybe It Deserves 2 1/2 or 3 Stars...But Why Are So Many People Handing Out 4 & 5 Stars? I Was Disappointed!When I see a book that has an average of 4 or 5 stars by reviewers, I expect a really good book. This book is just OK. I don't understand why so many reviewers are leaving 4 or 5 stars for a "just OK" book. Listen up people! If you're going to write a review, try to be a little more careful with those stars! I would have given this book 2 1/2 or 3 stars, but decided to go with 1 star to help fix the average rating of this book. I wouldn't have felt so disapointed if more reviewers were ...

Rating:  - Weak plotting, but relatively fun romanceRelatively enjoyable at times, but I found the plotting suffered from the frequent shifting between the Brotherhood history/Brotherhood background and the who-done-it assassinations and the tournaments and the actual romance, all very jarring. I felt the novel lacked a seamless integration of so many of these plots, and it seemed like one plot thread was dropped and instantly resolved for another with little sense or logic. The most entertaining portions of the novel involve Rowena & ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
