-- Romantic Times

"A very special romance -- original, beautiful, compassionate..."


Product Description

Lady Saura of Roget lives a lonely life of servitude—her fortune controlled by her cruel, unscrupulous stepfather. Yet it is she who has been called upon to brighten the days of Sir William of Miraval, a proud and noble knight who once swore to live or perish by the sword . . . until his world was engulfed in agonizing darkness. Summoned to Sir William's castle, the raven-haired innocent is soon overcome by desire and love for the magnificent, golden warrior who has quickly laid siege to her heart.

But there is grave danger awaiting them both just beyond the castle walls . . . and a dear and deadly price to be paid for surrendering to a fiery, all-consuming love.

3.0 out of 5 stars Medieval romance, April 25 2004
By Lealing (London, England) - See all my reviews
Lady Saura of Roget is blind and is persuaded by the father of Sir William of Miraval to return with him to his home to help his son come to terms with his recent blindness from an attack by an unknown enemy. Saura is full of fighting spirit and teaches William that there is more to life than just sitting around feeling sorry for himself despite their blindness. In the shadow there is danger in their lives in the form of a madman.

The premise sounded really good. Saura is a strong heroine and William is a brave hero but I found that the story fell flat half way through after the two leads declare their love for each other. There's no playful fighting or any antagonism afterwards and the subplot to endanger the lives of the two leads is predictable. It's a shame really because I really enjoyed reading the first half of the book but couldn't wait for the second half to come to an end soon enough.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing...., Feb 3 2004
By A Customer
being a fan, I had never read Dodd's earlier work. Turns out, I wasn't missing anything. I loved the originality of a blind female and male, but the plot never went anywhere. William was entirely unlikeable, a flat character. Saura was equally so. I had to push myself through it, even through the very predictable ending, which was a big let-down. Don't waste your time!

2.0 out of 5 stars I just couldnt get into it.., Jul 15 2003
By M. I. "krushedvelvet" (Old Bridge, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
I thought that this book had unbelievable potential, but I just couldnt like it no matter how much I wanted to. I absolutely loathed the characters.. I thought that Saura was annoying and William was such a pig I wanted to jump right into the book and belt him upside the head..needless to say, I did not finish this ..why waste time reading something I dont even like a little when there are so many amazing stories out there to be read??? I have many books by Ms. Dodd and I have enjoyed the majority of them..sadly, I cannot say the same for "Candle in the Window" This is not a book that I would recommend.

Well, normally I really love Christina Dodd's works, but this one just didn't do it for me. At all. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Concept
I had read so many great reviews of the book - the premise of a blind heroine and hero was unusual itself. Read more
