Smith, RT BOOKreviews (2005) 4 1/2 Stars! "a beautifully crafted story" Candy, Ecataromance (2005) 4 Blue Ribbons! "An entertaining read. Once again, Ms. Pillow doesn't disappoint." Romance Junkies (2005) 4 HEARTS! "Michelle M. Pillow knows how to write a truly exciting, flourishing and romantic historical." Valerie, Love Romances (2005) Note from the Author Dear Readers, How many of you know when I started my career I completely intended to be a historical romance author? I honestly thought that was all I would ever write. I even went to college to study history. I loved the creating worlds within the set rules of past societies. My goal with historicals was to keep the characters realistic to the time they lived, within the world they lived. I'll be honest, for this reason, Emerald Knight isn't your typical modern romance. I didn't want it to be. These people did not live in our world. I also wanted the challenge of dealing with a couple who had no choice in their futures. They were betrothed at birth before they even knew what marriage was. This book spans the course of decades and deals with marital issues arising from an arranged political marriage between two (practically) strangers that have to come to love each other, and may be sensitive to some readers. I know many of you love a variety of books, and I hope you give it a try. The writing style is close to the award winning Maiden and the Monster as they were originally written in the same time period. The book first published in 2005. There is also an audio version of this book for the audio fans. Plus, check out the brand new cover! If you get a chance to read it, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
