I enjoyed the story but I sure had to skip through a lot of pages.
"does she love me, she might love me, do I love her, I can't be with her'
'do he love me, he loves me, he doesn't love me, I don't know if he loves me, he loves me, I'm a slave so he can't love me but I'm not a slave so he can love me, he left me, he doesn't love me, he loves me, poor me...'
I could not read over and over the continous thoughts of these two knowing they love each other and unsure they love each other.
I always love the bit of magic added.

Wonderful read.
This is the third book in the series. Each one could be a stand alone novel, but I love reading a series. The story line was great. All the books have lots of sexual scenes which I enjoyed, although this was not my main reason for reading these books. I love all stories in the time of Arthur, even when he is only a minor character in the book. These books follow family members through the lives. It is nice to see how they evolve.

I work with her at the library. It is very strong on the sex and was a bit shocking since I know her. Fun to say that you personally know an author though.
