Great Story!,
By Stacy Wallace (Lumberton, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Enchantress Mine (Paperback)
From the golden pleasure domes of Constantinople to the barbaric pomp of Malcolm of Scotland's court, this is the magical tale of ravishingly beautiful Mairin of Aelfleah, called Enchantress by the three men who loved her: Basil, Prince of Byzantium, who taught her passion's tender secrets...Josselin de Combourg, gallant knight of William the Conqueror...and Eric Longsword, the Viking whose tragic love for Mairin would never be fulfilled. And in their wild world gone mad with savage war, only love could truimph over all. This was a great Bertrice book. Up to her usual standard. Love her novels!

Bertrice Small sweeps you away,
By
This review is from: Enchantress Mine (Paperback)
Bertrice Small takes us from 11th century England to Constantinople and back. Mrs. Small describes for us 2 different cultures and how young Mairin survives love, hate, and death in both worlds. From the beginning of Mairin and Basil's relationship, I felt that theirs wouldn't be the most desirable relationship. Mairin, very much a spirit of Nature, just didn't seem to fit in the bustle of Constantinople. She returns to England and soon finds tragedy. Help comes in the form of Josslin, a likable hero that falls for her. Standing in the wings is Eric Longsword, who is the perfect definition of a stalker and a man who refuses to understand Mairin's dislike of him. Although not as powerful as some of her other books, Enchantress Mine is a good read and will easily transport you to another place and time.

A Cracking Good Read!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Enchantress Mine (Paperback)
This is a really great read! Mairin of Aelfleah, the book's heroine, kicks major booty, is feisty and smart and takes nonsense from no one. She is actually more typical of a real medieval woman than the passive, submissive type so often depicted. This book is set in the time of William the Conqueror and Ms. Small has done her research well. She shouldn't be giving any characters middle names - no one in this time had them, but this is a trifling detail. I'd definitely recommend this book to romance and history lovers.
