Scarlett Gale

This single point-of-view story, told from the perspective of a cloistered monk taken out into the world by a warrior woman in a hunt for stolen books, satisfied me as if the author had included me in a poll of What Will Most Satisfy This Type of Romance Reader, and delivered. Marvelous! Not only are the characters entirely delightful, not only is faith and abuse and change handled deftly and kindly, but I laughed out loud many times while reading. I love that. I loved this. I am so glad there's another book to read, which I am of course starting as soon as I post this review.

Highest recommendation. Worth the higher price. If I'd known that when I first put this on my TBR list, I'd have bought it then.… (mehr)

OK SO THIS IS A VERY SOLID 4.5 STARS.

It's excellent. The hurt is good, the sex is good, the pacing is good.

Half a star? It lost half a star because their speech pattern jumps about a bit and seems out of place for the time/place they're trying to exist in. Alsoooo I would have liked to have Glory be a bit more fallible, she was too perfect a person.

But, seriously, it is a trope I loveeeee and more than that it was something different and I love it when it's something different!… (mehr)
