| I am so glad you said fini for now. There is so much more to tell and I am thoroughly enjoying this story. Eomer would definitely need a sprited wife. | |

| This is funny...are these 2 smitten or what?! I love this side of Eomer you show us...very interesting. He's almost as sexy, sweet, caring and amusing as Aragorn....ALMOST! My heart still belongs to Estel, but Eomer is now enjoyable to read about, too! ;) | |

| Loved the tender moment! Alas I'm reduced to fangirl mode whenever I read such sweetness as this. I like how their mutual stubborness is so obvious from the start and holds a lot of promise for the future. I loved the "have you ever been in danger of being throttled" question of Eomer and her smart reply. I also appreciate how very credible you sound with the herbal remedies Lothy comes up--you must have done tons of research. | |

| The attraction between them is very obviously pleasing. Loved what Eomer did to her after she woke him up. My favorite line of Lothy here is "that is why your back is so heavily muscled," and I thoroughly enjoyed the branding iron dialogue. | |

| I've decided to read all your stories before doing the reviews because they are just so engrossing and I couldn't help myself. I've enjoyed them all very much--there were so many comedic moments and so well-written that I am a both glad that I've discovered them and a bit rueful that I did not discover them earlier. I just can't seem to get enough of Eomer and Lothy stories now and every new "scenario" is always very interesting to explore. If only this could be made into a movie! I enjoyed their first meeting here and appreciate how you provide subtle details or withhold them to great effect. Their personalities are well-drawn and I find myself hanging on to every word you write for them. I'd probably end up writing an extra long review per chapter if I were to say what I liked most but it is the only way I could think of to show my appreciation for such an enjoyable work. | |

| Ai, how wonderful a start! I was just browsing the 'recent updates' and saw you had done part six, so I figured I would go back and read them all. Just finished this one, and quite frankly am now going onto the second. You are an engaging writer, and I absolutely love your master of this language even though it be your second. Your little insinuations add humour to the story "You are quite insistent on getting me into bed" lol. Beautiful! ~Tira | |

| Just gorgeous. I can just see how the healer would suddenly find herself suffering from a reaction to all the strain and rush and horror of the last few weeks. And Eomer, of course, has just the right kind of authority to make it possible for her to release some of her stress. Although being clasped to the Horselord's naked chest would bring certain stresses of its own! Lovely story. Delightful. Looking forward to seeing how it all develops. Author Reply: I think, we can assume that the naked chest of this specific Horselord provides at least some "positive" stress. Which is considered quite healthy. | |

| This is a lovely take on the meeting of these two, the dialogue and description of the scene is very well done. Your use of medieval models for description is quite successful. I take it this is a translation, in which case I applaud both the writer and the translator! Author Reply: Writer and translator are one and the same but you may applaud the Beta (writer points upwards). | |

| I love the banter and conversation - you are very good at dialogue. He really was intent on getting her to bed.. .at least he did not slip and say my bed! Author Reply: Classical Freudian slip. Well, he was rather exhausted. And no damage done. She didn't get it anyway. | |

| Ah, wie gut, daß ich erst mal in die Reviews reingeguckt habe! Jetzt weiß ich wenigstens gleich, daß ich mich nicht auf Englisch abmühen muß! Lesen kann ich es ja problemlos, aber wenn ich es schreiben soll, tendiert mein halbes Vokabular dazu, sich in Luft aufzulösen! In meiner Muttersprache geht es eben doch einfacher! Gerade habe ich die ersten drei Kapitel verschlungen und mich köstlich amüsiert. Lothíriel zur Heilerin zu machen, ist ein ungewohnter Ansatz, da sie ja aus Dol Amroth kommt und einen Vater und drei ältere Brüder hat, um darüber zu wachen, daß sie sich auch brav als feine Dame benimmt, aber die Idee eröffnet eindeutig ganz neue Möglichkeiten. Wenigstens bleibt ihrer Phantasie nach diesem Intermezzo nicht mehr allzuviel zu tun *grins* Der Schlagabtausch zwischen den beiden hat mir sehr gefallen. Man merkt, daß Lothíriel mit drei älteren Brüdern aufgewachsen ist! So "trainiert" und mit dem Selbstbewußtsein einer Heilerin ausgestattet, ist sie wohl besser für Éomer geeignet als die meisten anderen Frauen. Zumal der ja auch nicht immer nur am Hof Däumchen gedreht hat und darüber hinaus seine Erfahrung mit Frauen wohl vor zu einem beträchtlichen Teil auf seiner Schwester beruhen dürfte - und die ist ein anderes Kaliber als die Durchschnittsfrau zu jenen Zeiten. Was mir noch daran gefällt, ist die Tatsache, daß die beiden sich offensichtlich wirklich für den jeweils anderen interessieren. Das ziehe ich der Vorstellung vor, daß Lothíriel quasi aus politischen Gründen verheiratet wurde, was ja früher nicht unüblich war. Verspricht interessant zu werden, wie das zwischen den beiden weitergeht! Auf jeden Fall kann ich das nächste Update nicht abwarten - ich hoffe, es kommt bald! Author Reply: Ich freue mich natürlich, dass Dir die erste Geschichte so gut gefallen hat. Demnächst geht es weiter mit dem zweiten Teil, der aus der Sicht von Éomer die nicht so ganz glatt verlaufende Beziehung dieser beiden beleuchten wird. Ich hoffe, Du wirst dann weiterlesen und Spass daran haben. | |
