Five Amazing Stars Philippas RescueI was absolutely thrilled to now receive book two, The Seasons Series written by the amazing Denise Domning. I was so excited to read this second book as I just loved and adored it the Winters Heat.Set in the twelfth century Philippa was outside trying to relax outside in the breeze. She and her husband, Roger, who was away lived with his wretched Mother, Margaret of Lindhurst. She was a very cruel and nasty woman indeedWhen Temric and his cousin Oswald arriveAfter enjoying Winter's Heat so much I couldn't resist starting the next one in the series, Summer's Storm.In a world where folk are either common or noble, Temric FitzHenry, bastard of Graistan, is neither and both. When he finally meets his equal, Philippa of Lindhurst, also a bastard raised to noble expectations, it's too late; Philippa is already married. Then, Temric discovers the abuse she endures at her husband's hands and his heart demands he make her his own. Philippa cherishes each day
I quite enjoyed the first book in the series and was expecting to enjoy this because I really liked the character of Temric. I didn't enjoy this one nearly as much. First of all the there was the immediate "OMG we're in insta-love" which I found annoying and silly. Then there was the visitations and visions. I didn't sign up for paranormal!I nearly gave up but stuck with it because it painted a fascinating portrait of medieval life and the role of the church in particular.
I like the settings of this series of books and I like the way the author writes, I just wish she'd ease up on the breathless romance. Temric and Philippa fall instantly, totally and eternally in love at literally the first glance. The minute they clap eyes on each other. There's no slow burn or flirty looks, it's an instant thing. Which I just don't buy, especially with Temric because I've met him in two other books and he's a taciturn man, not given to flights of fancy, so this instant
Loved it! Said all I had to say in my review of the series under the Autumn book. Super great read!
As I have said before when I start a book, particularly an historical, I consider all books to have 5 stars until I find something to jolt me out of it.One of the things that jolted me out of the story was the phrase "By Christ's holy cock." I had run into this phrase in the 1st book of the series, Winter's Heat, and deducted a star because no matter how less squeamish they were in 1194 about body parts and functions, this phrase is not IMO suitable for a modern audience. It it too jarring and
Review taken from my Blog Post #392 in August 2013. Possibly not so good as Autumn's Flame, which was Book 4 in her series) - that having been said it was still a good read. Nice simple plot, gentle pace and sweet characters.As you can see from the fact that I've read Book 4, and now this one, that it is possible to read the series out of order.The Author's attention to historical details is first class, and she shows such care in the way she crafts the story.I wish she also took as much care
