I read Marrying McCabe(my personal favorite) and once I did I had to hunt down the others from this series. Blade and Anna have been connected since she was 11 and he was 17. She's been running from her step-father for the last 10 years since he was trying to kill her to collect her inheritance. Blade has had "flashes" and dreams of Anna but has always thought that they were in his mind. Now he's found her and he's determined to keep her but first they have to solve the problem of her step-father. Fiona Branda's books remind me of early Linda Howard(Mackenzies espcecially) They are sensual and fun to read. It's very rare that I find a "new" author that goes right to the top of my favorites list. This book and other from this series are heading right for my keeper shelf and I will be waiting for more by her!!

Anna, a lost heiress, has been running for years. During that time, she dreams of a fantasy man. During attempts on her life, she finds herself reaching out to him, calling to her fantasy knight.

Blade has had dreams of a mysterious red-haired since he was 17. But one night, one of the nightmares lead him to his dream lady. Now he takes up her fight, to protect, save, and love her.

The sensuality rating is high and the action gripping. What a man! If you like Linda Howard's writing, you will love this author. She's definitely a keeper!

I love this book! I've read it countless times and it never bores me. Blade and Anna have been connected psychically since Anna was 11 and an attempt was made on her life. Several years later, Anna is still in danger when she and Blade finally meet after another attempt on Anna's life. When they meet its kismet and their romance is ignited. Although Anna has been on the run for years, you do not pity her; rather admire her strength and route for her. Blade is the ultimate hero: loving and gentle with a fierceness to protect what he loves. I travel with my job, and I always bring this book with me. The characters are wonderfully written, the plot is great, and there are moments that just enrapture me. There's a scene where Anna figures out that she's in love with Blade. Every time I read it, I love this scene more.

After reading Blade's Lady, I hunted down her other books Cullen's Bride and Heart of Midnight. They were both well worth the hunt. If you love Linda Howard's Mackenzie books or Suzanne Brockmann's Tall Dark & Dangerous books, you'll adore Fiona Brand's books.

Blade's Lady is one of the best books I've read this year - definitely a keeper. The characters are strong and interesting, and the suspenseful plot keeps the action moving. Anna Tarrant dreamed of a gallant knight for years, never imagining he was real. Blade Lombard heard her desperate cries in his dreams for years, never quite believing they were real. The coming together of these two characters was exciting and realistic. There is a brief appearance by Blade's brother Gray and his wife Samantha, (from Heart of Midnight) and Cullen and Rachel (from Cullen's Bride). If you like Linda Howard's novels, you will LOVE Fiona Brand! I can't think of enough wonderful things to say about her writing!

It's always difficult to find good books, but I'd definitely recommend this book.

As a first-time reader of Fiona Brand, I was not disappointed.

I thought the writing style was reminiscent of Linda Howard.

It is a sexy romance that contains a slight paranormal element, mixed with the right dose of action. If you've read anything by Linda howard you're sure to enjoy this novel.

August 2000 was a great month for the Silhouette Intimate Moments line. Linda Howard's A Game of Chance and Fiona Brand's Blade's Lady are 2 of my favorite SIM's and each would make any month memorable.

Blade is a yummy hero, the strong, protective alpha that many of us dream of. His determination to get Anna into his life as well as protect her from her step-father and his goons is wonderful. He is loving and gentle with Anna and has no jerk moments. Anna is also a great heroine. She's a strong woman to have survived life on the run, but she's never bitchy and best of all, she doesn't fall apart as soon as the hero is there to lean on.

The plot is great, there's some good suspense, the villain is suitably slimy, and the writing is very good. Blade and Anna share a psychic connection that's essential to the plot, but even if paranormal isn't usually your thing (it isn't mine) it's unlikely to put anyone off. The rescue at the end may surprise if you're expecting an American-style shoot-'em-up. Blade goes for strategy and stealth instead of firepower. There's some lovely sensuality, you can feel the connection between Anna and Blade. So romantic and sexy *sigh*

I loved the psychic element in this book, it really gave the story something extra! Blade is my favorite kind of take charge hero who is also sensitive to his woman's needs and feelings. I am really looking forward to reading more by this author!

If you want suspense, rescues, hot romance, then this is the book for you. It is the best book I have read in quite awhile. This is a book you read from cover to cover without putting down, because you have to know how it ends, then you want it to go on because you feel like you are a part of their lives. BUY THIS BOOK, it's worth it.

I only happened to pick up this book by chance but what sold me on it wasn't the storyline or the author (I'd never heard of her before)---it was one line, a recommendation by my all-time favorite author Linda Howard. Anytime I see a book endorsed by Ms. Howard I'll buy it, won't even bother reading the synopsis on back. I was blown away! This book was hot and sexy and incredibly romantic. I LOVED IT!! I also quickly purchased her other two novels Cullen's Bride and Heart of Midnight. This author is really talented and I can't wait for her next book. She ranks right up there with Linda Howard and Stephanie Laurens. Fiona Brand's heroes are sexy and dangerous and very tender.
