Review: Romance with Historical Integrity.

Ms. Newman has done something I find very uncommon in historical romances today. She found a way to make the realities of the Norman Conquest come across vividly, as seen through the eyes of her heroine. In addition to the realism of the time, she didn't ease the two principles together. The sparks and conflict between the two I found much more authentic than what I see in other books of this genre. Plenty of exicitng plot points, well developed secondary characters who made the story richer, and two flawed people who found a way to come together inspite of all that worked against them. Ms. Newman leaves us with a very satifying ending, and the potential for future installments. I highly recommend The Comet for those who love well written historical romance.
