Wonderful, heartfelt romance

This book was an absolute joy to read. I really felt the passion, anger, and sorrow that the characters had. Lady Rowena was the strongest female heroine I have read in a long time. She stood up for herself and made her life better than it would ever have been living in a convant. I truly felt for her when her husband turned away from her on their wedding night. I can not imagine the pain she must have felt. Rannulf is a despicible man in the beginning, but after you begin to understand why he is the way he is, you begin to see the change in him. By the end of the story I like him almost as much as Rowena. This book was a joy to read and highly recommended. I just have one question, what does the title have to do with the book?

Beyond Romance

I have purchased 5 of Ms. Domnings books titled, Winter's Heat, Autumn's Flame, Spring Fury, Summer's Storm and A Love for All Seasons. I had never heard of Ms. Domning before but I so love the Medival era. To say that Ms. Domning is such a gifted writer is an understatement of the gravest sort. That compliment does not do her justice. I love this series and am now reading them for the second time. Even though I know what will happen next, its like reading them for the first time. Every description is so vivid, it's as if I'm there witnessing it all with my own eyes. I HIGHLY recommend her books for those that love romance and the Medival Era. Ms. Domning has found a life-long fan in me!!!

This is a great start to a great series.

Looking for a new author, I picked up Ms. Domning's book "Autumn's Flame". While reading this book I discovered that this was the third book in a series of four. After reading "Autum's Flame" I then purchased the other three books. "Winter's Heat" is the first in the series. Lord Rannulf and Lady Rowena are the main characters and Ms. Domning does a wonderful job of writing their story. Lady Rowena is a strong woman for this era (12th century) and proves to be an important figure in Lord Rannulf's life. I thoroughly recommend this series to all who enjoy the medieval times. "Winter's Heat" and "Spring's Fury" were my favorite two in this series. Oh yea, "A Love for all Seasons" has a surpise for readers.
