Review: Quick but good read

This is a pretty short paranormal romance--about 240 pages in paperback (yes, I know this is the Kindle edition but pages tell me more than 456KB)--and it's a pretty quick read, too. Handsome and immortal warrior (Knight of the Templar, no less!) Christien has himself lots of money and a nightclub but what he really wants is his Madeline back. His honey bunny died quite a long while back in unpleasant circumstances. But wait! Lainie walks into his bar (after being forced to endure the indignity of standing in line for almost an hour) and he just knows it's his Madeline come back to life.I liked how the author blended the past (eep--what a horrible time to be a woman!) and the present. The details seemed very well-researched and historically accurate, to the best of my non-historian knowledge. I liked how it seemed grounded while still very fanciful and full of passion.It can be quite a dark story at times (um, dark ages and all along with death and reincarnation doesn't really lend itself to brightness and light), but I did appreciate the difficulties these two lovers had to survive both in the past and present.While this isn't what I'd call an HEA (happily ever after) since it ended a bit ambiguously, it was still a well-written and enjoyable read.
