I loved reading this from Éomer’s point of view. Interesting insights into the males mind. Good grief. Great story, Thank you for posting.

Author Reply: Glad to hear you came to like Éomer’s point of view in the end ;-D

So lovely that you chose the last scene to happen at the cozy hunting lodge. The first time this hunting lodge was mentioned in the previous chapters, I wondered when they will return there, added bonus is that Elfwine is part of the chapter. Thank you for posting your story and this is the literal equivalent of a chocolate cake for me.

Author Reply: I thought the hunting lodge would be a place where they could just be themselves and I wanted to show their new family life.

And I'm so pleased to hear you liked the story - I love chocolate cake, so comparing my story to one is a big compliment ;-)

Thank you for the extra slice! Lovely to meet the baby and see them all so happy!

Will definitely read your book and look forward to more LotR fan fiction!

Author Reply: You're welcome! I thought it would be nice to have a glimpse of their family life, now that they're finally honest about their feelings.

Thanks for reviewing and until the next time!

Oh, yes--in this case both winning and surrender are sweet indeed! Glad they are still learning of and from one another, and that they can enjoy both winning and losing, both surrendering when it is!


Am going to purchase your book for my Nook, as I've been unable to get my Kindle app to reenter it. I loved what I read, but Kindle is far less responsive to my preferred manner of reading than the Kindle app for my computer has proved. I try to bring it up and it just lies there on the desktop going, "Huh?" when I try to reopen a book I'd started.

I look forward to your next offering to us!

Author Reply: Thanks! I liked the seemingly contradictory ideas of winning by surrender, of gaining by letting go and how the more you give, the more you receive.

And I'm sorry to hear you had technical difficulties with your Kindle copy of Bride to the Sun. I love ebooks for the ease of taking them with me everywhere, but paper books do have some advantages! I hope you'll enjoy the story though.

Thanks for reviewing!
