Great review

Ditto! (This is from another favorite love story, Ghost.)

@Miriam & ReadingRebecca: Maybe its Ghost by Jason Reynolds?

Oh, you should. That movie revived the romantic comedy genre. It was THE sleeper hit of 1990. Maybe you were still a toddler (or a dream) then.

See it and find the answer to your question.lol.

Geoffrey ngoima, it's a movie with the late Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore and Whoopie Goldberg. A must-see for romantics! Go!

The author is selling it for only $2.99 on Smashwords.com right now. It's $4.99 on Amazon/Kindle. I want to check out some of her other books on Smashwords as well. I really like her writing.

A great review of a seemingly wonderful historical fiction. I love the medieval era setting, so this should be right up my alley.
