Most enjoyable, as always! Your spare style and sense of humor are quite satisfying.

Thank you for taking the time to read and review. Just wanted to mention that in March I revised the 4 chapters to add details regarding horses, dreams, and fighting. I wished to add more realism and more story - sometimes my style is too spare! However the major story elements remain the same. Thanks again - Chathol-linn

Hello Chathol-linn ~ I meant to read "Lady Love An Outlaw" a long time ago, but managed to forget! This is a really nice little tale that somehow makes me think of old-time faery tales, where the princess meets the prince but does not recognize him. It just has that charm and feel to it, sort of dreamy and soft-focused. Your dialogue helps enhance that feeling, too, plus your narrative sometimes falls into a pleasant story-teller's "voice". And I LOVED this from Eomer: "“Ah, but I am more handsome and my wits are keener." ROTFLMAO!! Very much like the old faery tales and somehow very Eomer. Well done, well done indeed! :-) Cheers ~ Erin

Wow what an amazing chapter, very sensual, I enjoyed it very much, especially knowing they wed later, after the war.Brilliant.

Yeah! I wondered when we would see this! So Eomer and Lothiriel were truly love at first sight, and this type of meeting of a wild colt and mare just seems so right. A Lord and Lady perhaps, but their love is as wild as the plains of Rohan! I think Lothiriel made a fine Queen to the people of Rohan :D

This was funny and sensuous and poetic. These two are wonderful characters. I think my favorite moment was when each of the three turned his or her startled head.
