Review: Medieval Romance At It's Best

Amber Dane breathes new life into the medieval romance novel.  Her characters stay true to who they are, even as they grow.  The scenery is descript, but doesn't bog down the chapters. And one particular villain involved is quite "peculiar".  <-- If you read this, you will understand my reference.  :o)Aric is the brutish, strong, authoritive knight in this first installment of the series.  And he couldn't have been better.  Danielle is silent, yet strong, stubborn, yet giving and loving.  The way Danielle blooms under the callused hand of a dark, rough, battle seasoned warrior is beautiful to read.  And the way Aric remains all of those things, but still is able to grow into such an amazing hero is fantastic.Though I'm not expert, the dialogue and old world English were done so well.  In fact, I didn't once have to 'think' about what a certain word or phrase meant.  Ms. Dane magically cast her words so that even an old world begginer - such as myself - could understand without one stumble.There were a couple of small editing issues: incorrect words, doubled up word areas, but they were very few and far between.  Bravo on doing such a great job on editing your self published work.  It's hard to find a self pub with such great editing.Overall, I truly love this book and cannot wait for Rourke's story to follow.  However, I have to ask myself - "How will Amber Dane make me fall in love with her next hero and heroine, as much as I love Aric and Danielle?"  I don't know if she can, but I think she should release book 2 so I can find out.  :o)
