Review: Better than I expected but some problems
Rating: 3 out of 5

The first two novels kept me engaged and I ended up liking each of the couples Elizabeth & Geoffrey and then Faye  & Brant, and in particular the heroes who start as rude, immediately intensely horny dudes.  There are mysteries in both novels, but it's pretty obvious how things will play out and who are the bad guys.  Pretty decent plot development.One problem that comes with the medieval era is how women were treated and I think the author tries to paint a picture of the vulnerability of women in this era, as well as the ruthlessness of many men, but fails a bit for me. I was able to waive my disbelieve and just move on.  With the 2 novels and the short story the heroines meet their tortured, horn-dog heroes but quickly (way too quickly and illogically) they are swept away with passion.  Yeah, we're all accustom to the love at first sight stories in romance novels, but these are fast, so get a nice bubble bath going, get some wine and don't sweat reality. Despite how the heroes start out I did grow to like them.If you have a problem with graphic sex, then do be aware that you'll either be reading over a number of chunks or offended.  I'm not offended by this - it just is, but I only mentioned it because I know it bothers others.In conclusion, despite problems I would pay 99 cents again knowing what I know now.  I view it as cheap escapist entertainment
