What did you think of The Lion's Lady? It wasn't one of my absolute favorite Garwood's, but I really liked the backstory about Christina.

Thanks, BJ! I agree with you, TLL was very good but not one of my favorites. I loved Lyon and Christina, but her behavior bothered me a bit in the end. It wasn't "bad" enough to annoy me, just to make me kind of unfulfilled. I wrote a full review, if you're interested in a more detailed opinion. :)

Thanks Sandra, BJ and Yz!!
