"Erotic story of what a woman will go through for love."

Perion wakes up because of the cold. She feels for Mason, and he's not there. Perion stokes up the fire. As Queen, she could have one of the servants do it. This is just one of the things she learned on her quest to find true love. She almost lost her husband to the high magic before, she even left him. Mason gave up all his magic for her. Now, he's fighting the pull of the magic again.

Perion refuses to lose him. She will do everything she can to keep Mason with her. She knows how seductive the high magic is, so she seduces Mason in turn. Will Perion's love for Mason keep him by her side, or will she lose him to the high magic?

I love Megan Hart's writing, regardless of the genre, and she doesn't disappoint with her latest offering in The Clear Cold Light of Morning. Even though this was written as a sequel to AN EXALTATION OF LARKS, it works well as a stand-alone story. Everything is explained well enough for the reader to understand what's going on without reading the first book.

This is a highly erotic story of love, and what a woman will go through in the name of love. The passion is strong between the main characters with sparks flying all over the place. The setting is realistic and I really love the bathtub. This is definitely one of those stories that will leave one with a heartfelt sigh at the end. This is a wonderfully erotic tale of love and I highly recommend it.
