Subject: [shireemccarver] The Lord and the Scorpion!! – A joy to read!!

Oh Ree, I feel so bereft!!! I loved reading your wonderfully exciting ride into Elizabethan England. I was only able to read your book, going to and from work because of time constraints!!  Once I finished this book I felt as though I lost my friends!!! I miss reading about Ethan and Sauda. They are such a beautiful couple!!! 
Your book is a gem!!!  It was a pure, enjoyable reading experience!!  A joy to read!!
The story was warm, sweet, endearing, sexy, hot and a beautifully written tale of passion and survival!  I loved reading about the developing relationship between the hero and heroine. The story was fast-paced and the characters had `depth.' The most poignant moments in the book were Ethan's confession in the Tower and Sauda's confession at the cottage.  Both showed such vulnerability and trust!!!  I shed a tear while reading those parts of the book.
Although I worked out some of the plot twists while reading your book, you still managed to create a few surprises!!  High adventure at its best!!  Even the quirky language used, added to the story and made me laugh at times!!
The one thing that would have enhanced my experience even more was if Sauda was able to have children or got pregnant!!! That would have been a wonderful gift for this spectacular couple!!! 
Ree, I hope that this is not the last time that you write about Sauda and Ethan!! I noticed that you mentioned that Sauda had `sisters' who were also trained in various forms of assassination.  I hope that will lead to a possible series of stories.  That would be GREAT!!
You also left the `door' open to allow Ethan and Sauda to have more adventures!!!  I hope that they do. I would definitely buy more books that featured these characters!! 
Great Job Ree!!!  I truly enjoyed this historical romance and look forward to reading more of your work!!

I read your first book & anxiously awaited your second.  I was disappointed because I saw that it was a historical & do not normally like those.
 
Last night, I decided to buy The Lord & The Scorpian and give it a try.  Well.....I was up almost all night reading it.  Girl, that is one of the best books that I have read.  It's one of those books that makes you "feel good." 
 
I enjoyed it so much, I felt the need to let you know.  Thanks.  You have a new fan.

P.S.  I know (hope) you're working on the sequel (Lucian

I enjoy reading LORD AND THE SCORPION. It blow me away. I applause you.

Shiree it show how much work and thought you put into this book. The plot was
amazing. History the clothing and the dialect was on time and realistic. I
am so happy that you written this book. WOW!!!
Ethan is what heroes are made of he is strong tall handsome brave kind but
can be rudeness' to his emeries. Sauda is my hero. I love her. She is strong
smart courageous and beautiful. I like your version what heroes and heroines
are made of. I also like how you give the readers background history to your
characters. You let us feel their pain and joy thank you for that most
authors don't do that. When I was reading the book the whole time. I was
thinking wow.. what.. hell no.. she or he did that. Ethan's brother James,
I think that's his name, technically that not his brother to find out James
mother was sleeping with her own cousin yike!! That is low. Hey shit
happens!!!
Please tell me you not leaving me hanging you are going to write Lucian's
story. I hope his mate is one of Sauda's assassin sister. That is a story
worth reading. My vote is the woman call the tiger. Thank you for writing
that story. You out did yourself stay strong and GOD bless you!!!!

So happy to be your fan,

Hi Shiree         08/11/2006

I live in london, and it was by pure accident that i found you. I was
browsing the internet and came across ocean's mist press. I then read a
satyr's story - Selby and Darius, i loved it to pieces. It made me
laugh, cry and giggled like a silly school girl(lol).Then i went on to read
the Lord and the Scorpion, and my world temporarily stopped.

This is a rewarding novel, good plotting, sexy with plenty of action. I
bawled like a baby when i read what happened to the hero. Bloody hell,
i felt like i was part of the story, i wanted to reach out and comfort
the couple. You are a gifted writer, i am proud to have met you.

Dear Ms. McCarver,  2/28/07
 
I just finished reading your book, The Lord and the Scorpion. I love reading IR romance, but find so many to be simplistic and predictable. Thank you so much for this delightful and well written story: I was on the edge of my chair the entire time I was reading it. Your character development is stellar! All the people in your story were three dimensional and so very vivid. I loved the strength, cunning and intelligence of Sauda and just flat-out fell in love with Ethan. As the reader, I felt like I was there and felt the pain, the love, the joy, the anger, and the passion your story exuded. I loved the many twists you wove into the plot and  the surprises that continued to present throughout your story. Most of all, I love the way you made each chapter relevant to the scriptures you preceded them with.  You are beyond being a writer...you are a genuine artist and a genius as well .  I cannot wait until your next installment, "The Prince and the Panther."  Again thank you for this jewel of a story. 
Blessings and Best Wishes
L. Michelle
