Love is timeless. If you've forgotten that, perhaps you should pick
up a good historical romance - like Forgotten Lore, by Carly Corday. Not only is this a fine romance, but it's hot, too |

An Egyptian marauder, Namhotek, has come to the Celtic Isles
(the Isles of Mist) as part of an army whose mission is to pillage and plunder. While surveying a village as a possible target, he stumbles upon a ceremony; a beautiful young woman is being led through the streets, naked. Analeita is a creature whose loveliness is beyond compare, and he knows right away that he must have her. Of course, his initial intention is to take her back to Egypt as plunder, as a virginal gift to the King. But when he manages to separate her from her people, he discovers a spirited young woman who is nearly impossible to resist. Nevertheless, he does, because he knows her value will be much less if he gives in to his desires. Analeita doesn't make it easy for him, either! As they run away from her ruined village to join up with Namhotek's comrades, they get to know each other and their attraction inevitably grows. Their journey, in and out of the hands of several enemies, then eventually to Egypt, is one of twists and turns, where they can't trust anyone except, ultimately, each other. |

What sets this book apart from your average historical romance is the erotic element. Make no mistake, the sex in this book is hot without limit. It's not only fueled by the passion between the two main characters, but by the author's imagination, weaving in elements of bondage and sexual prowess that makes each sexual encounter stand out. Unlike some stories which toss in sex as a bonus, the scenes in this book are an integral part of the book, filled with intrigue. I'm not sure about the accuracy of the history in this novel, but unless you're a historical purist, it won't really matter. The characters and their prurient adventures will make up for that. |

Forgotten
Lore is a fine effort from an author obviously experienced in building sexual tension and keeping it aflame. It's a book you won't forget! |
