Loved this book. Love this series. Herne is much with the love, and his 1500 years of sulking. I love where he's ready to strangle the fairies if they make one more cock joke. That man has no patience for anything and I completely feel him on just wanting to be left alone for five minutes :3
Tam is wonderful, chatting away at 500 miles an hour no matter what. Loved watching him, watching both of them, progress through the book. Silly boys, doing everything hard way :3
The fairies remain hilarious....more

If only this book didn't have quite such a cheesy cover! In the story, Herne is very earthy, and hairy in all the right places. The waxed guy on the cover with the Xmas-style antlers is far from what Kay Berrisford so skillfully embodies, a figure from the pagan mythology of England's forests.
Because of its lovely settings, and the imaginative plot taking such rarely used elements, I really enjoyed the story. Admittedly, for my taste there was a tad too much sex to plot, but many other readers w...more

Herne has had vengeance in his heart for over fifteen hundred years, but he is losing his need to lead the Wild Hunt. when he is called to The Greenwood, he finds the Wild Hunt waiting for him to lead it, but maybe the Goddess has something else in mind for Herne when he interrupts a fairy betrothal. Tam really doesn’t want to marry any woman, but he has been chosen to capture a fairy in marriage. But, it all goes wrong and there is a race agai...more

Sorry to rain on the parade. I choose to read this book because of revives of people I use to trust. Now I feel somehow lost. Why the rating is so high? Let me explain my “-1000”.
The settings in the book are all wrong. I was prepared to something darkish, mysterious, romantic, and I got:
"...Answer this one my clever boy, and become a man. I prick, I tug, I slip, and I bend. If I don't fit, then lick my end. What am I?...Must I lick it, or will you stand proud for the sight of me?"
Hmm... Don’t g...more

This was one of two books a brought because I was looking for an easy, fun read, and this one delivered exactly what I wanted. Good world-building, relatively interesting characters, and an interesting plot. My only complaint would be that I never had a moment of doubt of how it would turn out, and the tension only came from the how they would do that, and I figured out the answer to that about 3/4 of the way through the book. Also, I didn't really fall in love with the characters. They were rel...more

This book was a bit of a let down after reading Bound For The Forest. It seems that this book should have come first. Herne the Hunter was given immortality and the ability to lead the Wild Hunt over fifteen hundred years ago by the goddess herself. Now he is mostly legend and woodsman living a lonely existence deep within the Greenwood. Tam is a young man from a village on the outskirts of the Greenwood who is about to become betrot...more

A bit more than 2.
I found that it was a rather. . . distasteful read. Not at all hot, an okay plot and not exactly likeable characters. I go so far as to say that I hated it, just that I definitely won't be visiting it again. At least I liked the ending. It was a nicely wrapped up HEA.

Absolutely delectable =)
The ending makes perfect sense, being carefully planned from the very beginning. Five stars and I am adding it to my favorites :D
There is virtually no BDSM in the story, save for one short scene at the abbey - (view spoiler) - and a mention (or two or three) of certain cravings in passing ;) Still the abby scene was intense, hot and wonderfully delicious :D

Brilliant book! The world is so developed that it reads almost like something that really happened. I'm not leaving a full review until I've finished reading it, but so far...very impressed. ^_^

Simply awesome, loved every page of it.
it was ok...
THREE & A HALF STARS--This was an odd one but...I liked it. It's a fantasy-historical mix with mythology thrown in. It had BDSM elements.(a little bondage, figging action) There were half human - half spirit? God? *shrug* and elves and zombie like creatures. It was good. I had a question or two at the end but I'm not super stressed for the answers. I'd try something else from this author.
What a great read! Loved it! I don't think I will ever think of ginger the same way again!
Lovely writing, a sexy and wonderful read.
I liked the characters and the struggle they go through. I did think the it wasn't as dark as the blurb made it seem. I'm glad that Herne got his happy ending. Tam wasn't all that likeable and even by the end I still think he has a ways to go.
