About the author
Denise Domning
42 books269 followersWhat can I say? I’m single and over sixty, I write and I farm on eight acres of slowly improving red earth (it originally looked like Mars had exploded!) on Oak Creek in northern Arizona. I started with chickens, then there were turkeys and Jersey milk cows. But with livestock came the predators: coyotes, bald eagles, black hawks, mountain lions, and, worst of all, raccoons. Dang those nasty creatures! They kill just because they can; think dogs with opposable thumbs. (Five chickens in one night–they reached in through the chain link and killed the birds with no expectation of being able to eat them.) They are the reason I keep livestock guardian dogs. There's the massive Polar Bear, a 135 pound Hungarian Kuvasz, Radha, the svelte and sleek 90 pound Anatolian Shepherd and her new chew toy, Rupert who is some sort of terrier mix and small enough to walk under her belly.
As for what my dogs guard, it's my growing herd of Dorper Sheep, a South African breed that (supposedly) doesn’t need to be sheared and gains all their weight on grass alone. I've also fallen in love with pigs, which are just dogs with snouts. Oh, how those rapscallions make me laugh!

Winter's Heat: Domning reads like Devereaux or Lindsey. Her characters are interesting. Her settings almost come to life. It's historical romance, so you get what you want from it. Escape. Adventure. A love story...it's up to you.
Summer's Storm: Domning reads like Devereaux or Lindsey. I spent a lot of time comparing this series to the Devereaux Velvet books. Maybe the best of the books based on Temric alone. The one thing that is very strange to me is the ghost. The other books don't have a bit of supernatural in them; but suddenly this one does. A little jarring; but well done. I also spent some time thinking about Hamlet while reading this book. The dialog -- the word style and choice...that all reminds me just a tiny bit of Hamlet. Not to mention some of the drama.

Medieval romance wins! It's like getting two in one with this winner! Denise Domning has set the standard high in this series featuring a set of brothers, their lady loves and the many battles and challenges they face.
