4.0 out of 5 stars
A fast-paced, sensual read., September 12, 1999
By A Customer
I've never been a fan of the Medieval period, but after reading My Lord Conqueror, Samantha James has got me hooked. Merrick and Alanna are two strong-willed people who butt heads many times throughout the story. He is a Norman who has conquered a Saxon village. She is his Saxon slave. Though Alanna vows to hate him for the rest of her life, and Merrick swears that she will be his slave until he deems otherwise, there is no denying the feelings they have for each other. I like the way the author describes Alanna's feelings of confusion. She is a Saxon who is falling in love with the enemy and she doesn't know what to do. I also like the way the author describes the settings, the clothes and the people's way of life.

My Lord Conqueror, August 14, 2005
Samantha James is my new best friend, well, in reading anyway. Her books are incredible. I can't get enough of them. In My Lord Conqueror her hero, Merrick of Normandy is delicious in every way! Her heroine, Alana is fearless and lovely and fun. The ending was chilling and had me enthralled. Her words fairly leaped off the pages. I have read, no devoured, several of Samantha James books: His Wicked Ways, His Wicked Promise, A Perfect Bride, A Perfect Groom, and my personal favorite of the trio, A Perfect Bride. The only way a reader could be disappointed in reading Samantha James's books is if there wasn't any more of her books to read, so keep writing Ms. James and I'll keep reading, BRAVO!!

A milder and much sweeter Norman conqueror story., May 8, 2002
By A Customer
What is there not to like about Alana and Merrick? They were wonderful. I loved reading their story. Merrick never treated Alana as Rolfe treated Ceidre in The Conqueror going so far as to marry her off to his best friend and taking her on their wedding night. Alana and Merrick's story was filled with love, not like Rolfe and Ceidre, which was filled with brutality and betrayal. I much preferred Merrick and Alana's story of love to the brutal cruelty of The Conqueror. Alana and Merrick were well matched and their love came out strongly and nicely where you could relax and enjoy the storyline. There was warmth in their story and her gift was an extra touch. Merrick never treated her with indifference. Their feelings for one another and reactions to the other gave the reader a warm, fuzzy feeling. I felt they were strong, flushed out characters that made their story a very enjoyable read. Samantha James is an excellent writer that has her own style and stands with the best. Us squeamish readers need our writers too.
