Lara: Book One of the World of Hetar

Another fantastic book from Mrs. Small. In Lara she takes us to the Fairie world of Hetar and we meet Lara, a half fairie child growing up in her human fathers world. Lara is a girl of strength wisdom and wonderful sense of adventure who knows that her destiny lies ahead and she may have to prove her strength and wisdom to reach it. Follow Mrs. Small's adventures through the world of Hetar. This promises to be another wonderful series from Mrs. Small.

I've been a fan for 20+ years and, when I think of Bertrice Small, I think of books meticulously researched and filled with rich historical detail. In a bold move, Ms. Small steps away from the constraints of history and into the world of Hetar - a world of her own making. It is wonderful to join Small as she stretches her creative legs. When it comes to love scenes, Bertrice Small's books are not for the faint of heart and she does not disappoint with Lara. So if you like a blushing, virginal heroine who saves herself for marriage - look elsewhere. As Lara ends, the stage is set for some exciting action in the books to come. I can't wait.

I have been reading Bertrice Small books for a number of years. I have read all her books and I am faithfully waiting for her new book in the Friarsgate Series. Just finished reading Lara and I must say it is absolutely magical! I love this new spin on her writing Lara. It is a book filled with fantasy, love, magic and new worlds, nothing you can imagine. Only Bertrice Small creates these books that you simply can't put down. I can't wait to find out what Lara's destiny is. Looking forward to the next one. Way to go Bertrice !!!

First of all this was not anything even remotely like an S & M book. I have read real S & M books and this is not even close. This was more of a personal discovery book written in Small's distinct style. I really enjoyed this book, more so than some of Small's recent books. I won't go over what the book is about since others have, but I will say that if you enjoy a good fantasy you will like this.
