Book Description

Publication Date: April 3, 2002

A pale virgin of unearthly beauty.A sultry, ambitious young marauder.Analeita and Namhotek.An ancient love story....Before the mystic Celts of yore, even before the pharaohs, there lived a nubile priestess of such beauty, that her tribe chose to honor her as their finest sacrifice to the brutal masculine deity they worshipped.Analeita's terrible fate is canceled during a raid by invaders from a superior culture. His fortunes assured by her beauty, her handsome captor sets himself an objective: to keep a virgin intact, through thick and thin, vouchsafing her worth to his decadent king.And what a dilemma that is when this exotic, blonde creature, this erotic oddity he has captured, falls in love with him. Namhotek has no plans for rape, but a thousand alternate delights in each other's bodies are possible. He doesn't discount a single one. Analeita's sexuality blooms during the perilous sojourn that begins with her abduction. Though primitive, she is not the formless clay to please a depraved, laconic king. Namhotek is her obsession. Her lover, companion, protector but, still, a crass mercenary committed to an evil course - Namhotek is sworn to trade Analeita for a fortune.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love is timeless..., August 13, 2002

This review is from: Forgotten Lore (Paperback)

...and if you've forgotten that, perhaps you should pick up a good historical romance - like Forgotten Lore, by Carly Corday. Not only is this a fine romance, but it's HOT, too!

An Egyptian marauder, Namhotek, has come to the Celtic Isles (the Isles of Mist) as part of an army whose mission is to pillage and plunder. While surveying a village ...

What sets this book apart from your average historical romance is the erotic element. Make no mistake, the sex in this book is hot without limit. It's not only fueled by the passion between the two main characters, but by the author's imagination, weaving in elements of bondage and sexual prowess that makes each sexual encounter stand out. Unlike some stories which toss in sex as a bonus, the scenes in this book are an integral part of the book, filled with intrigue.

Forgotten Lore is a fine effort from an author obviously experienced in building sexual tension and keeping it aflame. It's a book you won't forget...

Fully revised, shortened review of this novel as of April 2, 2011:

I have read Carly Corday's FORGOTTEN LORE so many times, I think I have it memorized. I could go on so long about this book that I just dare not even get started. I agree with all the great reviews here. I disagree with the one poor review, simply don't understand where that came from. "Forgotten Lore" was an Amazon top-10 bestseller as an ebook, also Powells, and hit the number one spot at both stores. The highest, most numerous accolades I've seen for it are that plot and characterization carry the day, and the pace is absolutely breathless. But you know what? You can't always tell who's writing the review. Lots of competition in this field. (wink)
