[.ca] The Black Lyon (ISBN 038075911X)

Umm... hello??:
Okay, I am about to buy this book, so I have not actually read it, but, I just wanted to answer the reviewer from New York, you said that the heroine in this book is treated awfully and instead of buying this book, to buy Whitney, My Love by Judith McNaught?!?!?!? How can any heroine in any book ever be treated worse than poor Whitney in that book?? First her "love" beats her with a riding crop, and then he rapes her!!! That book was awful! Is this book like that?? Just wondering before I buy it, please, someone, tell me if this book has stuff like that in it.

NICE READ:
I read this book about 5yrs ago and although I was frustrated with Ranulf for his insensitive behavior toward Lyonenne, what we must remember is the ERA in which the story is being told. The man was a Knight a Warrior trained to be cold in his dealings. He had also been cheated on by his first wife, which left him untrusting where women were concerned. You must also take into account the lies that were told against the wife and the fact that women had little to no rights in that time. We were trained to be subservient to our husbands. Taking all of this into consideration this book was a very good read. I would also like to add that when we write these reviews we need to take into account that these are fiction books they are not real and the writer have a right to express themself in the way that they are best able to. And guess what? apparently it's working because we are buying their books. As to the comment about the other writers like Julie Garwood, and Judith McNaught all of these authors write on the same scale trust me, I have read almost every one of their books and Whitney My Love, Highland Velvet and The Bride are my all time favorites.

Great!!!:
This is my first JD book and not my last. I fell in love with her writing and the characters she creates. The book, Black Lyon, is wonderful! A must read.

BestBookEver:
I absolutely loved this book! I wish someone could turn this in to a movie! I have read almost all of JD's books but this is one my favorite.

A True Classic:
If you have read Velvet song you need to read this book. It is pure magic. I love reading this book and the characters are just wonderful.
