A Most Satisfying Fall, April 15 2011
By Caren C. Helms "Caren Helms" - Published on Amazon.com
Juliane and Ulrich really are legends in their time. She has the dubious honor of being the Queen of the Frigid and he has the sole distinction of being the King of Seduction. As the story unfolds, we learn how very much Juliane stands to both gain and lose if a man manages to rise to her particular challenge. Ulrich could easily have been a one-dimensional character in this story, but Dain peels back his layers and we find out how very much he has to offer Juliane.
The most surprising thing about this book is its intense emotional depth. I expected a fun read and a great one, since it was by Claudia Dain. I should have expected the intensity and the heart-wrenching revelations, as well, but they somehow took me unaware. This book, like its hero and heroine, has many layers. It is deep, moving and satisfies on so many levels.

Layered, April 26 2011
By D. Bess "Romance Reader" - Published on Amazon.com
Everything about this book is layered and rich. The characters are legends in their own right, but we get to see all the levels peeled back. The banter is quick, the plot might feel light at first, but there's so much going on underneath. Secondary characters are detailed and deceiving! This might not be an easy read for everyone, but it is deep and thematic and emotionally satisfying.

Another exceptional read, Oct 8 2007
By Caren C. Helms "Caren Helms" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Fall (Mass Market Paperback)
Claudia Dain never fails to enthrall me with her rich writing. The Fall is no exception. Strong hero, strong heroine and problems that seem insurmountable. Somehow, though, Dain manages to bring Ulrich and his frosty lady together in a manner that is entirely believable and true to their characters. Bravo!
