In the Year of Our Lord, 1135, Menton Castle was the same as any other: It had nobles and minstrels, knights and servants. Yet from the great hall to the scullery there were signs that the house was in an uproar. This Yuletide season was to be one of passion and merriment. The master of the keep had returned.
FOUR LOVES
With him had come several travelers, some weary with laughter, some tired of tears. But in all of their stories -- whether lords a'leapin' or maids a'milkin' -- there was one gift that their true loves gave to them.

Evelyn Gee was born on 1939 in Texas, USA. She makes her home in San Antonio with her husband, Jim and their son, Jason.
She signed her novels as Constance O'Banyon. She also wrote as Micah Leigh with Texan writer Emma Merritt. Her books range from historical to contemporary and include several novellas. Many of her books have been published in trade paperback.Among her many awards, she is the recipient of the 1996 Romantic Times Career Achievement Award. There are eight million copies of her books in print.
She says: "I have always loved history, and I loved storytelling — it was only natural that I would one day put them both together. I must have lived in another life and time, because when I write, I can almost feel I was there. My favorite part of writing is the research. Whenever possible, I will go to the place I am writing about to walk the land and smell the air."
Totally not what I expected!! Holy sex scenes! I have never read a romance like this before! Woo! The characters were interesting, I couldn't stop reading because I needed to know what happened next. There were a few times I had guessed what was going to happen but it was still good. Not my normal read and I would not give it to my mom (those sex scenes were crazy), but I might give it to my younger sister (haha).
Only read Lynsay Sands story, a fun historical romance about servant Brinna who takes the place of a similar looking lady who doesn't want forced engagement to Lord Thurleah. Pleasant read with mild humor but nothing outstanding.
