Dear Ms. Levigne,
Wow, you certainly do write a wide variety of genres. “The Dark One” (aka “The Dreamer’s Loom“) was one of the first books I reviewed here are DA waaaay back in 2006. I’d been meaning to try some of your other stories, and have quite a backlist of them at Fictionwise, and finally got off my derriere with “Damsels in Distress.” Question. Is this part of a series, as I recall only one damsel in this book?
I like my heroes and heroines to be balanced which makes Roderick and Nell a good couple, IMO. He tries to magic her but she not only blocks it she eventually turns it on him. At which point she discovers what he already knows and that is no relationship is worth anything if both parties don’t come to it with open eyes and acceptance. I like that they manage to get to know each other in the short span of the story and that each admires what is seen in the other.
You don’t spend pages filling us in on the backstory of the plot but weave it into the story …
