1.0 out of 5 stars Re-ssue from 1992? A bad one at that?, June 10, 2008

I get so upset when re-issues are not listed as such in the "Product Details" section. Since I've been burnt before by not checking out what is written next to the "Publisher:" line, I always check it now. But this book's page does not even state that "Re-ssue" detail! From the other reviews, it's quite obvious that this is not even a good read. So I won't be buying it! It's pretty stinky of a publisher to re-issue a poorly written book/story just because in the "Now" the author has attained a certain status. But to list the book as a newly released novel by only listing 2008 as the published year is downright criminal. COME ON AMAZON!!

Sine Catrione Brodie is a determined young woman. At the age of twelve, she ran for her life, taking her two young brothers with her, and began her search for a knight to help her reclaim her life. Six years later, Sine Catrione is still searching for a strong knight to help her fight the one who wants her dead and reclaim the birthright that belongs to her and her brothers. Sine didn't need anyone to deter her from her quest, especially not the young knight Gamel Logan who stirs a passion in her she has never felt before.

The violet eye beauty mesmerized Gamel. He didn't care that she belonged to another; he knew he had to have her and once he possessed her he was never letting her go.

Silver Flame is a fantastic novel. Sine Catrione is a heroine for the ages, a strong young girl who grew into a strong young woman who was just as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. She lived her life to make sure her brothers lived, and she would sacrifice anything for them and those she loved. Gamel was awestruck by her beauty and her flowing silver hair that cascaded down to her knees but when he was giving a taste of her passion he was in love.

I enjoyed every aspect of this story. The romance between Gamel and Sine was pure and beautiful even though he tricked her into his bed, the passion they shared for one another was in earnest. I also loved Farthing, he took Sine and her young brothers in and cared for them as his family. I especially loved how he goaded Gamel and played on Gamel's jealousy of the relationship that Sine Catrione and Farthing shared. I don't know if Hannah Howell has written a book about Farthing but I'm sure it would one hell of a story if she did. This is my first book by this Ms. Howell and it will not be my last, I'm already searching her website for others. Silver Flame is a terrific historical romance, I enjoyed it immensely and I most definitely Joyfully Recommend Silver Flame.

This is the first Hannah Howell book I have not liked. I have almost every book she has written and save them on my keeper shelf but not this one. I didn't buy this book for myself and I'm glad I didn't. My daughter bought it as a gift and it was bad. I know some people meet and fall into love at first sight but usually they are falling into lust and that is what I felt this one was. The hero had to have her the minute he saw her, followed her blackmailed her, to his bed and then wanted to continue what he had started with her but she got away before he awakened. She was stupid and gave in to him right away as she thought he would tell the authorities that she was a thief. The others in the book were no more interesting then the hero and heroine. I would never tell anyone to purchase this book. Never thought to find one written by HH that was overall bad.
