Good morning! For anyone interested in reading and reviewing…

Shadow of the Swan, the award-nominated third book in The Novels of Ravenwood series, is available for a limited time on Booksprout. Here’s the story:

Lady Constance de Bret was determined to be a nun, until shadows from the past eclipsed her present. Marriage is the safest option, but she insists on a spiritual union, in which physical intimacy is forbidden. Not so easy with a bridegroom who wields unparalleled charm! But a long-buried secret could taint his affection and cloak her in shadow forever.

Back from the Crusades, Sir Robert le Donjon craves a home of his own and children to inherit it. From the moment he meets Constance, he feels a mysterious bond between them. When she’s threatened, he vows to protect her and agrees to the spiritual marriage, with the hope of one day persuading her to enjoy a “real” one. She captivates him but opens old wounds and challenges everything he thought he believed.

Two souls in need of healing. Two hearts destined to beat as one.

Check it out here and have a beautiful day!

5++ stars for RETURN OF THE RAVEN, plus best seller news!

N. N. Light’s Book Heaven has given my new release 5++ stars! I’m so excited! Here’s a bit of the review:

“This is the crown of excellence…A brilliant conclusion to the series, [it] is a must-read. It can be read as a standalone, too. Fans of Diana Gabaldon will swoon over Return of the Raven.”

If you’re interested, you can read the whole review here.

Wonderful things have happened recently with this series. In previous posts, I mentioned Shadow of the Swan‘s five-star review from Reader’s Favorite and Night of the Owl‘s second-place win in the Paranormal Romance Guild Reviewer’s Choice Awards. But a couple of weeks ago, Flight of the Raven had some real success at international Amazon stores. It became the #1 best seller in medieval historical romance in Canada and Australia, and it reached #2 in the UK. It was also #82 in Canada’s whole Kindle Store. I couldn’t believe it!

Flight of the Raven is still available to reviewers on Booksprout for a limited time. If you’re interested, check it out here.

That’s all for now. I need to get back to writing The Spear Alight, the fourth and final book in my Guardians of Erin series. Have a beautiful day!  🙂

 

 

SHADOW OF THE SWAN ~ Five Stars from Readers’ Favorite!

Good news! Shadow of the Swan received 5 stars from Readers’ Favorite! Here’s part of the review:

“Shadow of the Swan by Judith Sterling is the third book in the Ravenwood series. It will appeal to lovers of historical romance and magic-based novels. I loved everything about this book, from the plot to the writing style. The plot was so unique and captivating that I longed to read the first two installments. Judith developed this story with such historical accuracy, a laid back vibe, and some refreshing medieval flavor. I also enjoyed the language usage, which felt very Shakespearean. The story had depth, displaying themes like patience, bravery, deceit, empathy, and more. A tangible lesson I took from this novel is that bullies and tormentors thrive on their victims’ fear. Banish the fear, stand up to them, and they’ll lose their power. I look forward to reading more books from Judith!”

Needless to say, this made my day, and I’m grateful the reviewer enjoyed it so much. Hope you have a lovely day, too!  🙂

Medieval Monday #12 ~ SHADOW OF THE SWAN

Welcome to the final Medieval Monday of our current round. Hard to believe it’s coming to a close! To find links to the other participating authors’ excerpts, visit the Medieval Romance Lovers Facebook page here. (#MedMonFall20)

When we left Constance and Robert last week, she was testing the waters. They’ve spoken about lovemaking in the past, but now she’s asking for more particulars, trying to determine whether or not he still desires her. See what you think after reading this twelfth and final snippet:

            She sipped her wine, then placed the cup on the table.  “Remind me, if you would.”

            He shifted in his seat.  “I told you where I’d put my mouth.”

            “I recall it now.  You said every inch of me, even…”  Heat raced through her body.  “But you exaggerate.  Kissing every inch would take all night.  There must be areas you would focus on.”

            “Constance, what are you about?  Is this mere curiosity or something more?”

            “Perhaps both.”  Her cheeks burned.

            He sipped his wine, but his gray eyes smoldered above the rim of the cup.

Want to know what happens next? You can buy the award-nominated book or audiobook at these online stores:

Amazon | Amazon UK | B&N | Apple | Kobo | Audible | Apple Audio

In related news, Return of the Raven–the fifth and final book in The Novels of Ravenwood series–is moving swiftly toward publication. I’ll keep you posted!

Thanks so much for following along for this round of Medieval Monday. We’ll be back with another themed excerpt soon. Until then, I want to wish everyone a joyous holiday season. Take care and enjoy!  🙂
