Customer Reviews

I like it

I just finished reading Dark Emerald. This is the 3rd book I've read by Lisa Jackson and I've yet to be disappointed. The chemistry between the two characters, Tara and Rhys, was great. The storyline was pretty good and it also had a small twist at the end of the book. I recommend it, I don't think you will be disappointed.

This a welcome gem to the "Jewel" trilogy

By 1290 Wales, the birth of Tara of Gaelf remains buried in mystery. Some locals believe she is a noble's lost daughter. Others feel she is a witch, child of a midwife. The only known thing about Tara is a DARK EMERALD ring that she has always owned, which might prove she is the rightful heir to Twyll. Tremaine exiled his half-brother Rhys, who now leads a bunch of thieves. Rhys rescues Tara when Tremaine's men try to abduct her, but, in turn holds her as his prisoner. He quickly realizes that if she is Twyll, than his father was the murderer of her parents. Still, Tara does not trust her jailer or her heart, which announces she loves Rhys. He shocks himself by finding he loves his bewitching prisoner. However, she constantly tries to escape until ultimately she forces the final showdown. DARK EMERALD is a complex Medieval romance that will gain much acclaim for Lisa Jackson. The story line moves forward on several levels that ultimately tie together in an exciting finish. The lead characters are a passionate duo while the secondary players strengthen the entire novel. Ms. Jackson has struck a gemstone mine with her "Jewel" trilogy (see DARK RUBY)Harriet Klausner
