EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!

FIRST BOOK OF MS. JAMES THAT I'VE READ AND IT WAS VERY GOOD. THE CHARACTERS WERE VERY REAL AND IT JUST REALLY KEEP MY INTEREST ALL THE WAY THROUGH....

One Moonlit Night

Outstanding.I have read only 2 of Samantha James books and I found the first one by mistake. Since then, I have gone and purchased 3 more. It was only three that I could find. Outstanding writer. She kept me reading well into the night. To me, that is a good book, when you can't put it down.

Love Really Can Overcome Anything

Okay, I'm going to become sappy, so anyone who can't stand that - scroll past my review now! :) I thought this book was incredible. No other words can express it. I finished reading this book this morning on my train ride to work. Dominic was an amazing character. He had an unhappy childhood, he was the unwanted bastard of a selfish English earl who was only legitimitized because the earl had no other heir. Dominic was half Gypsy, half English and was not accepted by either. Too Gypsy for the English, too English for the Gypsies. Olivia was sweet, devoted, even-tempered and kind. Her mother had long since died, her father had been murdered by a gypsy and her sister was blind, therefore Olivia was the sole provider for the two of them. She was hesitant to trust in Dominic, he was half Gypsy afterall. Dominic's charms soon won her over. Her sister's story of blindness and overcoming her own trepidation where Gypsies are concerned made a great side story. Dominic was by far my favorite character in the book though. Emotionally, he had suffered greatly in his life and yet he was not jaded or bitter and did not seek to condemn all people for his ill treatment. Although no one treated him kindly, he never sunk to their level. He had true class and he just strenghtened my opinion of love overcoming hate. Strength of the heart overcoming ignorance of the mind. It was amazing how all the characters eventually gave up their groundless hatred against a whole race of people because of these 2 characters. Proving that prejudice is only skin deep - no one is born hating and you must just open your mind and heart in order to see that. A wonderful book and I recommend it to anyone who wants to believe in love and fate and the inherent goodness in others. Enjoy!

Wonderful Love Story

This was the first book I've read by Samantha James and I was pleasantly surprised, her writing was wonderful and she created a great story.Sure, I've read many a book about Gypsy earls, but this one wasn't redundant. Dominic was a caring man, just misunderstood. Although Olivia had some biases against the Gypsies, she was able to overcome them. I truly enjoyed this story and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Wonderful story!

A tale of prejudice and overcoming the odds, I found this book a totally engrossing read; in fact, I couldn't put it down! Dominic was a perfect dark hero and Olivia is just the match for him. I also found the love story between Emily and Andre just as engrossing. I can't wait 'til her next book comes out!
