husband.

"Five Stars! Fans of alpha heroes are in for a treat with TAMING THE LION. The hero of
this tale is as alpha as a man can get. Watching him lose his heart to a
woman who drives him up a wall is very entertaining! TAMING THE LION is not to be missed. Ms. Grall does a wonderful job of
bringing these characters to life and drawing the reader in so that the
reader feels they are in the story right along with the characters. She
excellently blends in various subplots around the main love story that
enhances the entire tale." Sime-Gen Reviews
". . .a delightful, laugh out loud, sensuous medieval romp. The hero is everything a
hero should be, strong, handsome, and tender, just waiting for the right
woman to come along to tame and teach him how to love. The heroine is
strong, intelligent, beautiful and courageous, and although much younger than
the hero, you know that she is more than a match for him." Sime-Gen Reviews
"Four Stars! Taming the Lion is an excellent romance novel. Both well edited and written,
the book is full of romance and drama, sweeping you away along with Alex and
Lionel into a world of passion and betrayal, joy and pain. The love scenes
will make you a little warm under the collar, and the fights the couple have
will have you picking sides! All in all this is a very good novel,
definitely a great read." Tracy Eastgate Reviews
"Four Stars! Riveting! Engrossing! This is a book you just can't put down! Totally enjoyable, I had fun seeing
which stubborn character would win. Lion was great, even when he showed his "soft" side." Scribes World Reviews
"Taming the Lion is a gritty medieval with touches of humor and lots of sensuality. The relationship is a combative one. . .But all of the heat they create out of the bedroom sure makes for some incredibly sensual love scenes! There is a lot of treachery afoot in this story, but the love story always takes top priority and the couple are never apart for very long. They are a good match, and by the book's end, I could see them happily exchanging wicked barbs and adventures well into old age." Laurie S., Bookbug on the Web Reviews
"I enjoyed watching the battle of wills! This is definitely worth looking up on
the net and buying." Huntress Book Reviews
"Ms. Grall grabs the readers' attentions and runs away with it!" Gloria Lower, The Literary Times
"The writer has obviously done a great deal of research to achieve the
verisimilitude so apparent in the book. Set some forty-three years after the
Norman invasion, Taming the Lion gives an interesting picture of the life and
times of women, who are powerless, and bastard sons, who are just as
powerless in a land ruled by primogeniture. Ms. Grall, you have done a
marvelous job." Under the Covers Book Reviews
"Taming the Lion is a roller-coaster ride of action, romance, and intrigue.
Author Marilyn Grall has perfectly captured the essence of the time period
with an artful blend of history and sensual excitement. From the moment
Lionel meets Alexandra for the first time, I was hooked. Taming the Lion is a
must-read for historical romance lovers. It's nothing short of fantastic!" Marion Marshall, author of Silver Obsession
"Ms. Grall writes with a flair that results in a very spicy, sensual medieval
tale. Splendid!" Donita Lawrence, Bell, Book and Candle
"Filled with passionate love scenes and memorable characters, Taming the Lion is a must read. Marilyn Grall delivers a spellbinding tale that leaves one
breathless with anticipation. A real page turner, this medieval romance must
not be missed!" Angelica Hart, author of THE GATHERING.
"Marilyn Grall writes bold, sensuous romance. Her hero and heroine are lusty, vivacious and ready to meet life head on. Taming the Lion never lets the reader go from the first moment Lionel and Alex meet. An exhilarating experience." Affaire de Coeur Magazine
"This is a sizzling, swashbuckling, rowdy, adventurous romance. The descriptions are authentic and realistic, giving the reader a real feel for this bawdy yet chivalrous age. The characters are bold and daring, the plot involved and exciting. The writing style is sheer and subtle magic. Marilyn Grall balances a dauntless and demanding plot with unusual and intriguing characters to create a terrific tale." Rating: Highly Recommended Barri Bryan, author of HONKY TONK COWBOY
