"The Sun and the Moon is an enjoyable medieval romance starring two enchanting characters. Phillipa and the mentally and physically scarred Hugh make a wonderful couple. The story line is fun especially when Hugh turns jealous as Phillipa flirts with the odious Aldous to get him to reveal his plot. Sub-genre fans know Patricia Ryan as a household name and her newest tale will elate her large horde of readers." Harriet Klausner
"Now, this is a great medieval romance. It has a great mystery that, for once, doesn't overshadow the romance. And I do love both hero and heroine. Keeper? Yes!" Everything Romantic
