Jacquie Rogers, author of Faery Special Romances, August 28, 2006 (view all comments by Jacquie Rogers, author of Faery Special Romances)
Another Hit for Dawn Thompson!

The Waterlord is an enchanting tale of a boundless love between Lady Rebecca, escaping from her ne'er-do-well father who gambled her to a man she refused to marry, and the immortal Klaus, whose fey father succumbed to love of his mother, a mortal woman. Klaus must mate with a mortal woman, but falls into Becca's net of love, where complications draw him away from his otherworld of water. Will Klaus be cast from his home and stipped of his magic?

[a]Dawn Thompson[/a] keeps us at the edge of our seats as we journey with Becca and Klaus through true love and grave peril. Once again, Ms. Thompson delivers a solid story with heart-stopping sensuality, romance, and adventure. No doubt, this author is on my autobuy list!

Dawn Thompson has crafted a sensual, otherworldly tale that seamlessly blends her natural flare for the Regency era with a superbly inventive fantasy realm. However, I believe her greatest gift as an author is creating these wounded, to die for hero's any woman would fall in love with.
The Waterlord-Klaus is no exception. He's one sexy man...err, fey, who must mate with a mortal female in order to procreate his line. It should be easy what with his and charismatic charm and dashing looks. However, his chosen conquest is our heroine, Becca. A headstrong woman fleeing her own fate. A woman who stirs him like no other. So, while Klaus can use fey magic to place a cottage near the waterfall from which he draws his strength, it can do nothing to protect his immortal heart against her.

I highly recommend this enchanted read. You'll fall in love with Klaus, cheer him and Becca on as they face the villains-both of this world and the other-and bathe in the sensual imagery and passionate love story that is The Waterlord.

The Waterlord is a skillful blend of Regency Romance and Fantasy. The story begins immediately with Lady Rebecca fleeing her father and a forced marriage. When her carriage overturns, she is rescued by Count Klaus Lindegren and whisked to safety at his "cottage".

From here on, the otherwordly blends well in the ensuing romance between the two. Miss Thompson has borrowed from Swedish mythology and woven it skillfully into her story. To say more might ruin the delights that await the reader. I was enchanted.

There are villains, from this world and the other, and they act in a believable way to try and foil the romance between Klaus and Rebecca. The ending is satisfying, and left me wanting another book that deals with the two worlds. I will say this: you'll never look at a waterfall again without being reminded of The Waterlord!
