LOVED IT! I was pleasantly to read the introduction and learn that this is a pen name for Sherrilyn Kenyon; having loved her "Dark Hunter" series, I had great hopes for this book. I was not disappointed.

This series is more of a historical romance with time travel thrown in. It is set after the time of King Arthur but is told from the aspect of Morgan (Mordred's mother, who "set" Arthur up). Barely into the book I was hooked, as I saw the first of Kenyon's humor emerge, plus, who doesn't like a sexy, dark knight?!?! It has steamy, yet romantic sex scenes per her norm, but they didn't consume the book. I experienced a full range of emotions while reading this: I laughed, I cried, I gasped and sighed... I could not put this book down, figuring leftovers or cereal would displace my planned dinner. In fact, I did read this from start to finish in about 5 hours. The best 5 hours I have spent with a book in a long time!

Hope you enjoy it as well!
