Review # 1 was written on 2013-04-06 00:00:00 Amung Pa Lord of Vengeance is a story that I put on hold for the longest time. The last time I read Tina St. John (almost 5 years ago) I didn't have a fun time with the story, so I put this author aside, but this ebook was on sale a couple of years ago and its been resting in my nook ever since, and I decided that I wanted to start reading some of the books I have had on it for a while now, but haven't picked up yet. This was a refreshing change from other historical romances I have read lately. First off it's in a medieval setting (which I love, because we don't see it that often), from the first chapter I was completely drawn into the story. I didn't have a tough time at all with the flow or keeping up with it, the characters were interactive in a way that was very emotionally vivid in many ways. Their relationship starts out with more of an emotional connection, the physical intensity is there, but not way strong at first, it seemed to flow naturally. We see the building of their bond with each other, and we a change in the characters as they face certain truths and we how they handle those situations and these two really pulled through. I can't believe how drawn I was into the book, and I can just say that I can't wait to read another of Tina St. John now, especially with her attention to detail and historical context, the time and the people who are described come alive off the pages for the reader. A story you don't want to miss out on. For Full Review @ Addicted To Romance

Review # 2 was written on 2012-07-17 00:00:00 Jennifer Guzman Gunnar Rutledge, the mysterious and valiant knight who saved Raina d'Bussy from the unwanted and ruthless advances of her childhood friend wins Raina's gratitude, but goes even farther when he earns her repect and admiration on the jousting field during her father's infamous tournament. At the same, Gunnar is attracted to Raina in a most unchivalrous way and is stirred into a passion he has not felt for a very long time. That is, until he learns she is the daughter to his mortal enemy, the very man he has come to exact revenge from in payment with his life. Gunnar then denies and fights his unwanted desires, focusing solely on the vengeance he has come to attain. When his attempt to claim his enemies life is thwarted, he devises a much more sinister way of ensuring his vengeance by kidnapping his enemies beloved daughter. Gunnar is sure that by holding Raina as hostage, he will force his enemy to meet him in a one-to-one battle in order to ensure his daughter's safety. What Gunnar does not know is that it is his heart which will be held hostage instead. Raina d'Bussy has been raised by her father since the death of her mother at the young age of 5, and knows only the kind, loving man who has always taken care of her and showered her with affection. She cannot believe the story the young knight, Gunnar Rutledge, reveals to her. The man he speaks of cannot be the father she knows, and she will never believe the lies. She must make him see he has the wrong man. While she is overwhelmed by compassion for the heinous crimes committed against Gunnar in his childhood, she is certain it can have nothing to do with her father. Yet, Gunnar is blinded by his search for vengeance and cannot see the truth in what she claims. Raina's attempts to right a wrong will uncover the ulitmate truth and shed light on her own blindness, but at what cost? Lara Adrian writing as Tina St.John has done a wonderful job with this historical romance. I have known her as the author of some wonderful paranormal romances, but this is the first historical that I have read by her and it is very close to being a 5-star rater. The hero and heroine were fairly flawless in their character portrayals, and the passion and sexual tension were superbly done. Involved with the high drama of the story was unforgettable tragedy which rounded out the story adding a wonderful balance with emotional electricity on both sides of the meter. If you are a fan of historical romances, put this one on your TBR list. It is one amazing read!
