"I have read ALL of Bertrice Smalls books! She vividly describes her characters as well as their surroundings and you feel as if you know them all so well! I love her series Skye O'Malley and was pleased to see this book is the first in another series she is writing!"
— Christine (4 out of 5 stars)
Quotes
-
“A lush and highly sensual tale...Large in scope and heated, even sizzling, with passion—Fifty Shades has nothing on Small—Bianca harkens back to the style, sweep, and sensuality that this beloved author is known for creating.”
— RT Book Reviews -
“Exquisite historical detail brings every moment vividly to life. Small describes violence as intimately as passion, and readers may hurry past the scenes of brutality while lingering over Bianca and Amir’s tender love scenes.”
— Publishers Weekly

" I expected more from BS, it looks like she will not be able to repeat the "Skey O'Malley" series that for me was one of her best. But I will keep waiting, and will read the next book of this series. "

" I liked the book but while reading it I kept getting the feeling at various areas that I had read it before. This didn't seem to be quite up to Ms. Small's usual quality. "
— Sonia, 11/6/2013 -
" I would have given this a 5 out of 5 stars but I thought there was too much sex in the first 100 pages. I feel it is not needed to tell the story which was fantastic. Hope the next installment is a little less erotica. "
— Virginia, 9/6/2013 -
" Not great. Other Bertrice Small books have been better. Struggled to finish. "

" Reminded me of The Borgias in the first half; second half dragged and I couldn't wait for it to be over. "
— Stoli, 6/7/2013 -
" I love all her books, they are a quick read. I pick them up and don't put them down til they are done. I will read any book with Bertrice Smalls name on it! "
— Jill, 5/29/2013 -
" I'd have liked more suspense and less gross graphic detail. "
— Sarah, 4/17/2013 -
" I really liked this book! I thought it was well written and researched! The beginning was a bit brash but necessary in order to set the tone for the end. I am very much looking foward to the next few books in this series! "
— Krystal, 3/31/2013 -
" It's ok...but not one of her best. :( liked the ties to other books though "
— Sandra, 2/24/2013 -
