| Thoroughly enjoyed this story. I had read it before years ago and decided to re-read some of my favs. I loved this strong Lothiriel. It was great to see her as a great archer and horsewoman. A great match for Éomer. The scene in the stables had me blushing. And I laughed out loud ate Amrothos helped Éomer rid himself of the other suitors with the dragon tooth tale and how he hoped she got one . Hilarious!! Thank you so much for writing enjoyed it last time and this time as well. Author Reply: How nice to hear that this story is still being read and enjoyed, though I wrote it so many years ago. But I remember that how they got rid of her seven suitors was one of my favourite parts too. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! Lia | |

| I first read this story a few years ago, and I remember how I sat in my living room, and finished the entire thing in one afternoon, unable to stop until I had reached the end. I absolutely love this! Charming, well writren, and humorous. I feel as if you have captured each character so perfectly, and created a beautiful love story filled with passion and great laughs. I always come back to it each year and consider it a favorite read!! Truly, I love this and always will. Author Reply: What a surprise to get a review for this story after all these years! Thanks so much for letting me know that you enjoyed the story. It's a lovely compliment to hear that rereading it gives you joy :-) | |

| I love this story! It's my favorite! Everything about it is just fabulous, and the "manipulation" to get our characters into certain situations is so subtle and has a real feeling of being natural as opposed to contrived - well done! I've always wanted to see something where the "barbarian king" actually gave into his impulses and was a "barbarian." What if he hadn't been willing to wait and had just carted Lothiriel off? Or even arranged things in such a way as to force Imrahil's hand? Hmmmm Author Reply: Hello Siorsa, what a nice surprise to get a review for this story after all this time! I'm pleased to hear you enjoyed it and that you liked the plot twists. I've never written a story where Eomer carries Lothiriel off - although he's been tempted to a few times. But I don't really see him doing something that could be so potentially damaging to Rohan's relations with Gondor. Although it would most certainly be a fun scenario to write! Hmm, I must think on it some more, maybe a plot bunny will come of this... Thanks for reviewing! Lia | |

| I read this after I found your current story, and I loved it as well. Elphir made me want to slap him, and Imrahil had his moments too. I laughed out loud when Lothiriel shot an arrow into the roof of Meduseld. Wonderful! Author Reply: Hello Ponypetter, Well, Elphir certainly made himself rather unpopular in this story. At the end I felt so sorry for him that I made him more likeable in my current one - although I did saddle him with an awful wife. And Eomer has acquired a much more relaxed attitude towards Lothiriel's archery skills now, hasn't he. Maybe it's because she now wins tankards of ale FOR him, rather than FROM him ;-) Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Lia | |

| I happened onto this story from an LJ Fic Recs community. I absolutely loved this story. You did a wonderful job making the characters and situations believable. Thank you for writing and sharing your work. This story was a wonderful diversion for a Sunday afternoon. Es. Author Reply: Hello Estelle, I'm pleased to hear the story kept you amused. I had a lot of fun writing it and I think that shows. Although when I read it now, I see lots of room for improvement, I still like it a lot and I intend to write a sequel about these two one day (maybe when I'm finished with my current project, another Eomer/Lothiriel scenario). Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. It's nice to still get feedback after all this time! Lia | |

| I just finished reading this and really enjoyed your story. Thank you for sharing your talent. Eomer and Lothiriel are two of my favorite characters and Tolkien left so much unspoken for us. I really enjoyed the Archery tournament, and the agreement Lothiriel and Eomer came to regarding her training. Another favorite scene is the wedding hall with Legolas and Lothiriel and her new bow. I could see it play out in my mind, it made me laugh. You truly are a gifted story teller. Thank you I have added you to my list of favorite authors. Author Reply: Hello Adamas, For some reason, Eomer was always my favourite character, right from the first time I read the books, and I got rather annoyed with Peter Jackson for minimising his role in the films so much - which was really what got me started on this story and now I just seem to be stuck with them. That scene with the new bow of course looks back to the archery tournament and I thought it would show just how much their relationship has changed since then. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! Lia | |

| I love this story- wonderful characterizations, an honest portrayal of life, real discourse... everything that a story should have! (And the heat of this story... wow!) Author Reply: Hello speckled Llama, what a nice surprise, to have another review for this story in my in-box after all this time! I'm so pleased to hear you liked it, thank you for your praise. I have just started publishing another Eomer/Lothiriel scenario, but I still plan to come back to these two one day and write a sequel. Lia | |

| And this is it! I have to say that I love the all story. Since december of the last year I'm following each chapter. I learn to love this couple as you know. And I'm going to miss this, because this was a part of my life too. I picture every scene in my mind, every moment, and was very amusing the way you play with us, but always was with respect to the readers. Everything that begins has an end, and this one was perfect for the story. My opinion is that you are an excellent writer, so go on! keep on doing this. I hope more in the future, really don't know what I want to read... Well, I'm short of vocabulary (of course in English! It takes me some time write this paragraph), but I think that I could express exactly what I want. Thanks for share this with us, and for take your time and give an answer to every review. Hasta pronto! Celeste Author Reply: Hola Celeste, thank you for coming on this journey with me! I've enjoyed it immensely and I know I'm going to miss hearing from you and the other reviewers I feel that I have got to know. I seem to have caught the writing bug, however, so the next story is already in the works. I think there will be a sequel to this story at some point, but at the moment it's still a bit vague in my mind. In the meantime I've already published that little extra material to Falcons, you might like that even though it's only short. Saludos Lia | |
