Produktbeschreibungen
Martine of Rouen is on her way to Normandy to marry a man she has never met before. She has promised herself that she will never love any man-- including the man she marries-- because love destroyed her mother. Her marriage to Edmond of Harford is to help her half-brother Rainulf and his friend, Thorne Falconer. For Martine, this marriage is simply preferable to becoming a nun. The first time she sees Thorne Falconer, Martine mistakes him for her betrothed and she wonders what marriage would have been like with Thorne as her husband. Thorne doesn't understand the contradictions of Martine-- one minute she is smiling shyly at him, the next she seems cold and aloof. But by arranging Martine's marriage to Edmond, Thorne is guaranteed to be rewarded with land of his own-- and that is Thorne's only desire. He tries to ignore the effect Martine has on him because no matter what he feels for her, she belongs to another. A man without land cannot marry and Thorne knows that nothing can come of a relationship with the beautiful Martine. But because of his driving ambition to acquire land, Thorne may be putting Martine in danger. Despite her distant relationship to the queen, Martine is still the abandoned, illegitimate child that Rainulf rescued-- unsure of who to trust and what to believe. Thorne makes her forget all her good intentions not to fall in love, yet she can't believe in him. But the time will come when Thorne is the only one who can help Martine and she will find in her heart what she knew all along-- fate has bound them together forever. Patricia Ryan has written a charming, passion-filled tale of the highest quality! Falcon's Fire is a romantic, captivating story of two lovers who were destined to be together. Their story touches the heart and sparks the imagination! Ms. Ryan's interest in the Middle Ages shines through in her work! Falcon's Fire is a labor of love by an incredibly talented author! An exquisite novel of true love and honor from a time of chivalry and majesty! Magnificent! Patricia Ryan is wonderful!Kristina Wright -- Copyright © 1994-97 Literary Times, Inc. All rights reserved

Wonderful!
6. Mai 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I read "Heaven's Fire" first and loved it. I really enjoyed the part where Rainulf and Corliss visit Rainulf's sister Martine and her husband, and was quite eager to read the story of their meeting. It's a fantastic book, full of accurate (from what I've read) history and wonderful detail. It's violent and disturbing at times, but then, so was that time period.
The thing I really appreciate about Patricia Ryan's books is that they do have romance, and very hot romance at that, but unlike a standard "Romance" novel, the development of the relationship is very realistic. The lovers don't just lock eyes and decide they are made for each other. Their relationships are given a chance to develop in a very real and believable way, and that makes the physical passion of the book more exciting, in my opinion. Ryan seems to be a master of plot development, and her timing is flawless. These books are perfect for the reader who is intelligent, history loving, and interested in true romance and passion.

Patricia Ryan is one of the best!
8. Oktober 1998
Format:Taschenbuch
I really enjoyed Falcon's Fire, one of Patricia Ryan's first books. The main characters, Martine and Thorne, are warm and believable. Their love is consummated about midway through the book - Ryan does not make us suffer till the very end for the physical relationship. The action is non-stop but there is some graphic violence, especially against Martine, so be warned. Falcon's fire is a great introduction to Martine's brother, Rainulf, who is the central character in Heaven's Fire, the next book. So read Falcon's Fire first. (I'm going to re-read Heaven's Fire to see how Martine fits back into the story. I'm sure she does.) My favourite Patricia Ryan novel is Secret Thunder, the story of Luke and Faithe. Luke's brother, Alex, who is a strong secondary character in that one, stars in the latest novel - Wild Wind. You know how you love it when a character you've enjoyed in one book is featured again in the next book? That's what Pat Ryan does and it's wonderful! You don't feel as if you've lost your beloved characters when the book ends. Read and enjoy all her books! (New one due spring 1999) She's one of the all-time GREATS!

A road less travelled. . .
2. Januar 1999
Format:Taschenbuch
I found this to be a very interesting book. For a romance it didn't really get to me on an emotional level all that often, but I have to admit that despite all of the years I've been a romance novel addict, I've never read one quite like this one. Ryan gets bonus points for originality and chosing to take her plot down roads less travelled. It wasn't emotionally gripping for me, but I was impressed by the writer's ingenuity.
Still I have to confess I found Ryan's Secret Thunder more emotionally satisgying.
