“A marvelous love story from the queen of medieval romance. I will buy anything she writes! Once again Patricia Ryan dazzles us with her amazing storytelling abilities. This is as good as it gets. If you only read one historical romance this year, it should be Secret Thunder!” The Literary Times

“Patricia Ryan continues to create superb medieval romances that capture the atmosphere and tenor of the time. Ms. Ryan breathes freshness into every page and enthralls readers with the power of her characters’ emotions and their intelligent handling of the complex situations. She is a wonderful writer whose talent continues to enchant readers.” Romantic Times

“Secret Thunder is a superb medieval romance that is so well written it will not remain a secret amongst the genre’s fans for very long. Patricia Ryan brings startling freshness to this historical period.” Affaire de Coeur

“Ms. Ryan has penned a totally absorbing tale with complicated situations and complex, compelling characters. The poignant relationship between Faithe and Luke is achingly beautiful, as a woman’s love redeems a tortured man. I loved everything about this book—it’s full-bodied, like vintage wine. Brava, Ms. Ryan. It’s the best book yet!!” The Old Book Barn Gazette

    Excellent

    Does not disappoint. Just the right amount of sexual tension. Good word painting, well-described characters and descriptive narrative. This author never disappoints.

    A page turner!!

    Set in 1067 Luke & Faithe must marry but soon fall in love despite the big secret in Luke's past. Lots of sexual tension between them, you can feel it. Very good read. Look for Alex's story (luke's brother) in Wild Wind.
