Enchantress Mine

This is the first Bertrice Small's book I read and I really have to say it is one of her best.Fascinating plot, lovely characters (Mairin is a wonderful heroine and the other characters are pleasant and -very important thing- believable), historic accuracy, love scenes wonderfully described and never coarse.... who could ask for more?

I absoultly LOVE this book! It's funny in some places and very sexy in others If you haven't read it... please do!

This is a really great read! Mairin of Aelfleah, the book's heroine, kicks major booty, is feisty and smart and takes nonsense from no one. She is actually more typical of a real medieval woman than the passive, submissive type so often depicted. This book is set in the time of William the Conqueror and Ms. Small has done her research well. She shouldn't be giving any characters middle names - no one in this time had them, but this is a trifling detail. I'd definitely recommend this book to romance and history lovers.

Bertrice Small writes an excellent story that grabs you from the first page and holds you rapt until the last. Her use of vivid imagery and historical background make you feel that you are in Norman France, England, and Byzantium during the Norman Conquest. Her characters are believable with strengths and weakness that we all can identify with. Mairin of Aelfleah is a dynamic character, not at all the weak simpering heroine that most readers have come to expect from historical romances. All in all, this book is an excellent example of what every reader of a historical romance is looking for: suspense, romance, danger, intrigue and a healthy dose of lustiness.
