I had high hopes for this book after reading such glowing reviews, however, I was disappointed. The problem with it is that this author is L-A-Z-Y. She used the word "Stunning" or some form of the word over and over (and over and over...you get the idea.) The two main characters were "Stunned" so many times I began to think they must be using tasers on each other. Overuse of a word or phrase causes it to lose its effectiveness, and becomes distracting to the reader. There are multitudes of wonderfully descriptive words in the English language, authors, use them!

Not many love scenes can compare, I loved this book. I read nothing but arthurian ledgend and romance of the legendary time, This is about to be my second favorite. Am waiting for the rest of the set to be delivered! Most magical, try also, Guardian of The Balance By;Irene Radford; My very fav.

I found the contents of this novel very intriging. The author makes you feel as though you are actually in the times of William the Concourer. I have read this novel over and over and each time I find more details to enjoy. From her characterizations to her vivid imaging I would recimend this novel and any other by Quinn Taylor Evans to any one who asked. I have also met the author and find her as vivid as her characters.

Daughter of Fire by Quinn Taylor Evans is a magnificient book. Vivian, first daughter of Merlin, the legendary wizard of Camelot, is forced to heal William, the Conqueror. Vivian only aggres to help William as long as Rorke doesn't destroy her village and home. As Vivian stays captured, she heals William and falls in love with Rorke. In the end, Vivian must save the kingdom from the Darkness, an evil force that drove Merlin into his permenant home between worlds. But can Vivian fight off a thing that even the legendary Merlin couldn't defeat, without Rorke?

I completely adore the stories of King Arthur and Merlin, so when I heard about this series, I had to have the books. After reading this book, I officially decided it was to be my favorite of all time. I especially liked how Ms.Evans didn't make the love scenes forced upon Vivian. Sure she was nervous, but he never forced her to do anything she didn't want to do, which was different in most romances I've read where the woman needs to be convinced that she wants the man. It was also refreshing to watch their love blossom over time, not lust. I'll tell you one thing, I'll be searching for a man like Rorke all of my life, and hopefully I will find him. As I said before, this is my favorite book. And whoever wants to read a book on what love should really be like, go buy this book and read it over and over again.

I loved this book! Full of history, romance, and the mystical legend of Merlin made for a page turning romance.

The story between Vivian the daughter of Fire and Rorke FitzWarren knight to William Duke of Normandy is touching and has managed to become one of my favorite stories! Vivian is the daughter of Merlin and she finds herself in the middle between the Norman's and the defeated Saxon's. Rorke is sent to find the healer with amazing powers and brings Vivian back to the battlefield to take care of William. Rorke finds more then just a healer of the physical self but a healer of the heart and soul. This story takes place right after the battle of Hastings and is full of historical detail but not so much that you feel that it is a history lesson. The story is touching and I found myself laughing and crying which in my opinion is always a sign of a GREAT book! I look forward to the rest of this series to make it to my mail box!

The name of this book is The Daughter of Fire after all! At times, the scenes were so hot I thought the book would go up in flames! I discovered this series while perusing Amazon's stock and was intrigued. However, I never expected to be addicted from the first chapter of this book!

I enjoyed watching the love grow between Vivian and Rorke (I especially liked that it grew fast!). He respected her from the start, and that was a refreshing change from the way romances can go, where the man sees the woman as an object, then realizes she has a mind. I also liked Vivian so much because she had an open mind and wasn't too stubborn. Sometimes women in these books can be so bullheaded I want to shake them and tell them to open their eyes. Well, Vivian's eyes were wide open. She knew what was going on around her and was smart enough to deal with it.

I, of course, immediately ran out and found the rest of the series. It's one of those series that you never want to end.

This book was absolutly fantastic. I read it once then reread it again! Ouinn Taylor Evans is a great writer, her Merlin Legacy books are the best I ever read!

I bought Daughter of Fire and read it in 1 day. What a great book. Quinn Taylor Evans uses her descriptive powers to the max to make you feel as if you are there. The clothes, the weapons, even the animals are described perfectly. The battle scenes come to life, and you feel as if you know each character intimately. Great writing, great story, great series. I ordered the other 5 the next day and read them just as quickly. I hope there's more to come because I am hooked on the series!

This is a wonderful romance filled with mystery and magic that is sure to captivate anyone.
