Description

<p><span><span>Harold Godwineson, the Last Anglo-Saxon King, owed everything to his father. Who was this Godwine, first Earl of Wessex and known as the Kingmaker? Was he an unscrupulous schemer, using King and Witan to gain power? Or was he the greatest of all Saxon Earls, protector of the English against the hated Normans? The answer depends on who you ask. He was befriended by the Danes, raised up by Canute the Great, given an Earldom and a wife from the highest Danish ranks. He sired nine children, among them four Earls, a Queen and a future King. Along with his power came a struggle to keep his enemies at bay, and Godwine's best efforts were brought down by the misdeeds of his eldest son Swegn. Although he became father-in-law to a reluctant Edward the Confessor, his fortunes dwindled as the Normans gained prominence at court. Driven into exile, Godwine regathered his forces and came back even stronger, only to discover that his second son Harold was destined to surpass him in renown and glory.</span></span></p>

That strong man who rushes in to save the weak damsel in distress just makes your heart go ahhh and knees go weak this is that story. Ms. Mooney has done well. This book was well written and paced appropriately. JEBARAL will pleasantly keep you company for afternoon read. - Robin S., My Book Cravings </font></p> <hr align="justify" width="300" /><p align="justify"><font size="2">&quot;This imaginiative book is well written, and has the warmth and togetherness I expect from a good romance, and for that I give it 5 red roses.&quot;  ~ Anne, Red Roses for Authors</font></p> <hr align="justify" width="300" /><p align="justify"><font size="2">&quot;Hot Alien Love&quot;</font></p> <p align="justify"><font size="2">Runner's Moon: Jebaral is a wonderful introduction to the Ruinos aliens with hints of more to follow. Hannah and Jebaral are both well-drawn characters who have been wounded, but with acceptance and kindness from each other are able to triumph and find strength together ... along with a little hot alien love. I'm looking forward to more from the Ruinos aliens.  ~</font><font size="2"> Clover Autrey, ParaNormal Romance Reviews</font></p> <hr align="justify" width="300" /><p align="justify"><font size="2">&quot;Ms. Mooney tells a wonderful story of love, passion, and trust. These characters leap off the pages. Getting to know them so well is almost as if they are your good friends. I cannot wait to see what happens next in this series and I hope that Simolif will finally find his life partner. I could not get enough of Hannah and Jebaral. They were great!&quot; </font></p> <p align="justify"><font size="2">- Krista, Coffee Time Romance</font></p>
