Customer Reviews

Excellent!

I just finished reading this book. I was surprised at the negative reviews. The story line kept me reading. It kept me wanting to know what happened next and the results. This story was written with the realities of the times, ie, the way women were treated and used. The reality that things are not always nice like the rape and the evil, etc. The sex, even when it was rough, was good for them and that's what counts. I cared about Phillippe and Aelvina, I liked them, she was strong and he was stronger, I rooted for them. Their lives were not easy. This is the reality of those times. This was not a completely tender love story (but it became one towards the end). It wasn't all nice nice. It was a MATURE story with a love that evolves and is very moving. This is one of Ms. Rice's earlier books and is better than two of her later ones that I have read. If you are mature and want to read a very well written and mature love story, read this book.

Take off your PC hat...and enjoy!

MOONLIGHT MISTRESS is not politically correct by today's rather limited guidelines. But if you enjoy a very good, very sexy, very satisfying story about believable characters of the medieval age, then hurry out and buy MOONLIGHT MISTRESS. Phillipe is an arrogant, dominant alpha male, and Aelvina is the feistiest of feisty heroines. Their love scenes are often not tender, certainly not politically correct, but they are wonderful in fantasy romance, and there's a plot twist at the end that is so clever it had me saying, "Of course!" The only thing I can say about MOONLIGHT MISTRESS is I wish New York would publish more books like this. Feminists won't allow them to do that, though. It's really sad. MOONLIGHT MISTRESS is well worth reading, to anyone who still enjoys leaving reality for a bit and joining the world of fantasy medieval romance.
