~ Viviane for What I'm Reading

". . . New author Denise Lynn weaves a girlish fantasy, the dream bag, with the reality of 12th century politics and intrigue.  The horror of war is a compelling contrast to the dreams and hopes of a young woman.  Readers of medieval romance will enjoy this well-researched story with its richness of detail as they root for these strong-willed characters to put aside the past and embrace their future.  I hope to see more from this talented writer."

~ Diane Burton ~ Scribes World Reviews ~ 4 1/2 Stars

". . . Catheryn and Gerard's rocky path to love makes for a good story, with mystery and intrigue propelling the characters along. Time spent with Gerard and Catheryn is most pleasant, indeed."

~ Writers Club Romance Group on AOL

"This is a wonderfully written story, set in Medieval England...This is one of those books that suck you in so completely that you leave dishes in the sink and forget to cook dinner! The love scenes are exquisite! Super sexy dialogue and no skipping to the morning after. Denise Lynn has a remarkable gift for bringing her characters to life. If you are looking for a wickedly sexy, humorous, mysterious medieval, then this book is for you!"

~ Reviewed by Susie Burkett for Romance Fiction

". . . well written, enjoyable read. The writing is done well, the dialogue clear and not overdone with a good balance of action and narrative throughout the book. The love scenes belonged in the book, and did not seem forced, were not overdone and did not go on incessantly. Catheryn and Gerard are both well-rounded, three-dimensional characters...The fact that while Catheryn accepted Gerard as the man in her dream and didn't just bend to his will was an important aspect to the story, and made her in my eyes a strong heroine. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys medieval romances and is a book I would read again."

"Reminiscent of Jude Deveraux's earlier work, Denise Lynn tells a wonderful tale of a tortured hero whose heart yearns to be free from pain, and a heroine whose heart is yet to be won."

I found myself engrossed in the reading of this book. It was easy to visualize the time period and feel as if I were there while the story was going on. This book is excellent reading. This is a book definitely worth buying.

~ Carol Castellanos for SIME-GEN

With a glorious historical setting and characters that draw attention, Ms. Lynn's writing is exciting and enjoyable. I was swept up in the drama of the events and carried away by the romance between Catheryn and Gerard. In a classic style, the hero and heroine are wonderful people kept apart by outside forces and misunderstandings; the villains are truly despicable; and the action is reminiscent of a dramatic saga. A touching story of betrayal and romance, This book is well worth an afternoon spent reading. Brew a cup of tea, turn off your phone and dive into this wonderful historical romance!

~ Sally G. Laturi for Ivy Quill

In Ms. Lynn's debut novel she has written an engaging medieval romance that fans of the genre are sure to enjoy. There's plenty of conflict, and while the love scenes are few, they are well done and tasteful. For a trip back in time to knights and damsels in distress, don't miss this book!

~ Terrie Figueroa for Romance Reviews Today

Ms Lynn's story won my heart with such warm and engaging characters that had me actually swooning from the hero's words, and the heroines loyalties. It's not often I find a book written in this period that I don't grow weary of the story...this book surpasses the norm in it's poetic form of two people who are drawn to each other and learn to trust one another despite the odds and obsticles. It is the heart of this love story that carries it through and makes this one just a little different.

~ Rita Hestand for Romanceing the Web

This book is a beautifully crafted novel with bold characters and a finely tuned plot. Ms. Lynn is already a master, or perhaps, a temptress of anticipation. This gripping tale is loaded with suspense and sexual tension. Reveur vows to not only protect his new wife from the fiend de Brye, but to give the passionate Catheryn time to want him without hesitation before the marriage consummation. Which takes longer than the count anticipates, but the sexual dance toward that goal is a treat to read.

~ Debbie Jett, Author's Den

DREAM KNIGHT is a historical romance set during the Middle Ages, which happens to be my favorite historical period of time. Reading the blurb, I hoped that this would be a good read. What I got was a superior story full of intrigue, fast action, and romance. While Gerard and Catherine don't trust each other, they do share a strong physical desire. Gerard's treatment of Catherine is poignant and utterly sensual. Anticipating the action before it happened, I found myself on the edge of my seat, oftentimes yelling at the characters like they could hear me. Realistic emotions, poignant love scenes - DREAM KNIGHT delivered both in spades. This novel is well written and sensual; I quite happily placed it on my keeper shelf when finished. DREAM KNIGHT definitely gets a "thumbs up" from this reviewer!
