The Return!

This last in the Medieval trilogy more closely resembles the style of the first book, Untamed, than the second book. Which is good. If you liked the first book, you'll likely be satisfied with this book. Plus, Simon is one of the main characters, instead of some two-bit secondary character from the first book who we committed ourselves to hate, only to find that we're supposed to like him enough to care what happens to him for an entire book (I speak, of course, of Duncan in Forbidden, the second book.)

Also, that instant, love-at-first-sight, super-duper, uber-sappiness that displays itself in the second book in the form of ridiculous love-talk is mostly absent here; when it does appear, it's appropriately placed.

A note of caution, however: the ending is rather abrupt. Happy, but abrupt. And as this last book in the trilogy was written in, uh, 1994(?), it doesn't look as though there will be any more books in the series. No cliff-hanger endings or anything, but it seems like the epilogue raises more questions than it answers.

For fans of Untamed, enjoy!

FULLFILLED

This is a good conclusion to the trilogy. You really want these two to succeed. The writer has built characters that you want to follow through to the end of the book. I would totally recommend this book

Great End to a Nice Trilogy..immediately hooked

Thank goodness Anne Flosnik is back!
This book focuses on Simon and his bride Ariane but all the characters you have come to love are fairly prevalent in this book....that I loved.

I was immediately hooked and didn't want to put this book down. Not quite as good as Untamed (book 1) and WAY BETTER than Forbidden (book 2)

It is romantic and sweet...AND FRUSTRATING!!! But still a great romance that won't disappoint, but I would have liked to see a bit more after the big "finale"... a better epilogue.

Enchanted Trilogy

When I was just reading the text version of these books, this 3rd one was my least favorite, but after listening to the audio version, I have changed my mind. Enchanted actually has more real conflict in it than the previous 2 & I found the resolution satisfying after all. 👍👍

End of a wonderful trilogy

This is the conclusion of the story that began with Dominic & Me, then Duncan & Amber, & finishes here with Simon & Ariane. If you like medieval romances, paranormal stuff & sensual liaisons(really hot, well written love scenes), you'll like this trilogy. If you've read every book you can get your hands on by this author (as I have) you'll discover there is a direct connection from these people to characters in some of her modern/contemporary books like Moving Target.
I love all of her books!
When are we going to learn of Eric's story???? Please....

Enchanted

Excellent book. Medieval setting. Wonderful story line. Romance,suspense, fast moving. Once you start this book you won’t want to put it down. I highly recommend this book.

Just absolutely wonderful series.

Just absolutely wonderful series. I highly recommend all four books. Tut first 3 are the best. Each characters are very special. The last of the series is enjoyable. However Untamed, Forbidden & Enchanted are absolutely wonderful!!!!

Kind of silly

The first book in this series was OK. The second I read in book form because I knew I couldn't stand that narrator. This book, the third, was pretty silly. Even a good narrator, Anne Flosnik, couldn't make this one very interesting. I would suggest you save your money!

Written for the modern woman

The entire premise rings false: rape was a common practice in the middle ages especially after sieges, wars, and invasions. Additionally, women weren't "supposed" to enjoy sex as that was done for the creation of children and for the pleasure of the only thing of value in those days: the men.

A high born woman may hate sex after being brutally attacked, but it wouldn't kill her soul for she would know that her true value was her bloodline and her husband to be need only wait until she bled to bed her. Even if she carried another man's child, more than likely, she would still be taken to wife if her family was wealthy and powerful enough. Eleanor of Aquitaine was considered a great beauty, but more than one scholar wrote that she could have looked like a ox and knights would have still lined up to marry her because she was the sole heir to a great fortune.

The idea that Arianne would be killed for not being a virgin or that her father would give a handsome dowry that would have to be given back also makes no sense.

But I suppose to a modern woman who may not comprehend a time when women had two purposes: to bear children and to pleasure and please men and that high born women had an additional value (unfair as we common folk do not possess it) of proper bloodline, the one "value" we women DO all possess, our viriginity, might be important.

Enough for a man to die, to start a war, to end a prophecy, to begin a legend.

To write a book.
