This book had every thing you could ask for. The persinlities of the 2 leed carictors were very well writen. You will fall in love with Alaric and fallon. The book will keep you turning the pages and gasping as Fallon findes her self tempeted by her father's followers. And when you meet Eric you know he will be back and when he comes back you will gasp with horor for the shocking turn the book takes. This story will keep you guessing to the last pages! A must read for any one who loves historical romance!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, Jan 6 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Princess Of Fire (Paperback)

I am an avid fan and collector of Shannon Drake books and thought that this book was wonderful and exciting! Yes, people may be disturbed by some of the content, but that was what happened back then! I find the way the men conquer the women to be exciting and interesting. In fact I found this book so wonderful that I named my newborn son Alaric after the hero. I think if people don't agree with the content of violence in romance, then they should read Harlequin or books that don't contain explicit sexual situations. But, if you don't mind that kind of stuff and like a little bit of the erotic themes than these books are for you!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not That Great, Oct 18 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Princess Of Fire (Paperback)

I have read a few Shannon Drake romances, and I have come to the conclusion that she is an ok writer. She has written some novels that I love like Branded Hearts, No Other Love, and Seize The Dawn.

Unfortunately she has written some very disturbing stories with this tame and conquer theme that I do not like at all like The Kings Pleasure, Conquer the Night, and Lie Down In Roses. The hero and heroine are on opposite sides of a nationwide battle. The heroine ends up either imprisoned by the hero or forced to marry him, while she is still true to her cause. The hero uses rape as one of his methods of discipline, and he always ruthlessly imposes his will on the heroine for the duration of the story. The heroine ends up falling in love with the hero despite his treatment of her.

Unfortunately, Princess of Fire falls into this category. I simply do not like reading about the hero ripping the heroines clothes off and tieing her to his bed, or locking her up. I understand that the heroine was in danger from the new king if she caused trouble, but the hero was pretty brutal and degrading to the heroine for me to stand. I gave this story three stars because it is well written and the historical details are well researched.

I usually tend to shy away from the Norman/Saxon love stories because they usually include rape or enforced slavery. Princess of Fire was a pleasant surprise. Read more
