I absolutely loved this one!!! My favorite of this series. I have got the audible version with every story in this series and it's sooooo good! I have already reread it 3 times in a week. I just swoon over both main characters and their relationship, I will say I have learned a lot about the struggles of being a gay man through this story and that part was really heartbreaking for me. I felt incredibly sad that they felt they couldn't be who they were due to other people/ careers. The ending of course is amazing. Love the side characters : Aunt Tilly and the grannies. The narrator does all the voices so awesome it makes you feel like listening to a movie.

I would give this 1000 stars if I could. It's a fine piece of art and fully captivates the audience from start to finish. I find myself quoting the movie on a daily basis and thinking about cholesterol.

If there were 1000 stars, I will still rate this book 1000 stars instead of 5 stars. This book is a tear jerker and still it shows us that love can beat anything beautiful.
It also shows us that when given freedom, we  still will choose love.
Keep it up!

The first volume, I borrowed from my friend. I feel bad now, because I kept it forever. I must have re-read just this first volume over 20 times!!
It even made me get up in the middle of the night, wanting to cook.
I read it from start to finish and counted down the days until the next volume came out. I'm not even that interested in cooking, and I wasn't before, but it was such a great story. If you love to cook, then that's a bonus; you're in for a real treat!
It went nice and slow, and was easy to understand. The art is fun to watch, because there are obvious improvements from volume 1 to 10, but it doesn't start out bad at all. Just gets better. And who doesn't like that?
10 volumes packed a lot in. I won't spoil, but there are a couple plot twists in here that are very heartbreaking. They are not bad in the way, however, that you ever lose hope for bigger things.
The main character is fun and bubbly. You will feel like you're good friends with her by the time it's over- that's how much it grabs you. I've never forgotten any of the character's names for a second. If you never read another manga, please just read this one! It's been my favorite for years!

Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ!!!! I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS STORY!!!!!!!!!!. You may have heard of it, the TV show just came out (it is very well done so far) and people are noticing of how good, how amazing it is!!! But I don't think every human would have the nerve to really appreciate.

I watched the first episode of the TV show before reading the book, which was great because it helped me understand better and gave me an idea of how beautiful the setting is, because my mind would have not made up something that beautiful (I may say the same about Jamie). I made myself reallyreallyREALLY patient with the book as it is very slow and there is not a lot of action the first 75% of the book. But I was completely in love with the routine Claire had during the slow parts, even though the situation was not pleasant, I wanted to be there, living each part. I had so many emotions. This book made feel happy, sad, angry, humiliated, scared, tired, relaxed, intrigued and excited.

There is a lot of character, world and history building. I was bewitched by the book. I loved Claire. She is an amazing protagonist so brave, strong and smart. There was only one time in which I thought she was being stupid and for a book that long and for the protagonists I am used to, that is nothing.  I love Jamie, like he is one of my favorite guys in the whole wide universe. And both of them: Jamie and Claire are my favorite couple ever, they complement each other perfectly, the chemistry between them is the best I have ever read and no, I am not talking only about the sexy moments, just the way they talk to each other. I am not a big fan of marriage, but if I ever get to talk with a guy the same way they do, I will marry him. The secondary characters were very well developed as well. That Jack Randall , manI HATE him!!!! He is on top of my black list, even on top of Dolores Umbridge, Voldemort, Sebastian Morgenstern , Cercei Lannister and my ex-boyfriend.

The setting, I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!! It was so well described and so different from what I know. I read my first contemporary like a year and two months ago, before that I only read fantasy and some science fiction, but these settings of castles, wars, mystical tales and magic, swords, mountains, zero technology: that was my thing and OMG!! I had forgotten how much I love it.

The writing style was really good, it was different I felt it. The language was a bit of a problem the first chapters. English is not my native language and there were many strange and ancient words (I am sure some of them weren't even English) so I made a good use of the kindle dictionary but my vocabulary knowledge grew and I got used to it.

I will read the next book, I am super intrigued, I have many theories but not enough to understand how there are still seven books more, all huge. So if it felt complex holy crap! This is just the beginning.

I rarely put in my two cents worth, but this book is a delight - and so far, my favorite of the 500 Kingdom series.  My family has collected Misty's books since we discovered Valdemar in the early '90's - and I must say, I like the 500 Kingdom and Elemental Masters series as much as I love good old Valdemar.  Siegfried and his 'little bird' were my favorite characters.  I look forward to reading more books of this and her other series - when I can finally sneak them from my daughter's room!

And if you get a chance, read The Fire Rose from her Elemental Master's series.  It's as much of a treasure as this book!

Over 2,500+ reviews and the ratings are still 5/5 stars. I spent many hours in the early AM reading this book because I could not put it down. This book is that good. I don't think I could say what hasn't been already said by those 2,100+ 5/5 star reviewers other than: I love this book, this series. So, buy this series, you won't regret it. Great characters and a great storyline.

This book is great.  Granted I'll start by saying that some of the beginning and ending chapters are very paint by numbers, where in the start of the book I had to push a bit to keep myself reading, and near the ending chapters I was calling out exactly what would happen ahead of time in the final conflict, but then again, what can you do XD  haha.  the middle meat of this book is amazing, absolutely beautifully rounded characters and perfectly relatable, even if way unique situations, and all I wanted to do from chapters ten to the end was just keep reading.  I wanted more of everyone and what they were doing, and I was absolutely hooked and it's tough for me to talk without giving spoilers for specific scenes and segments of the book I loved.  I'll just say, that this book is well worth the price, and I'm going to be reading chapters from it again for a long time.

I wish I could give it 1,000 stars! We went to Paris, too. We got the audio for the Louve, the Orsay, and Versailes Palace. He is funny, not boring like other audio tours. He breaks it and makes these places not so overwhelming. I would highly recommend both!
We also record his shows where he takes you through all parts of Europe. He keeps the dream alive :-)

I read Big Magic about the same time as this one and while I loved Big Magic (5 stars) this one is even better. I'd give it a million stars if I could.

4.5 Stars!!I really loved this one. Sam Young has such a great formula for writing romance and Moonlight on Nightingale is no exception. The chemistry, banter, writing, and storyline all flow together so well that takes you on the journey with the characters. This whole series has been one of my favorites.

Grace was a lovely heroine. She's the kind of women I love to read about in books. She's witty and smart and not all whiny. Grace has a troubled past that's made her a bit introverted and insecure but she doesn't let that stop her from living her life and trying to move on. She jumps over her obstacles instead of treating them like road blocks. Although she tries to avoid confrontation at all cost, something about Logan brings out the snark in her. Boy can she get sassy with this broody Scott!

"Logan Macleod was an arrogant pain in my arse."

When we first meet Logan, he is a broody, in your face, man slut. He's a new neighbor in Grace's apartment building and his late night antics are driving her crazy! She's tired, sick of his arrogance and just wants him to go away. But the more confrontations she has with him, the more she feels something for him too. Theres a connection thereeven though she doesnt want to admit it. Yes, hes arrogant, broody and a bit of an arse but hes so much more and has his own demons hes trying to deal with.

Are you always this deliberately irritating? I huffed, mirroring his stance by crossing my arms over my chest. To my surprise, this caused Logans lips to twitch, and his eyes started dancing with humor. I only seem to irritate you. He cocked his head to the side. I wonder why that is. Because, I whined, my head lolling with exasperation and tiredness, Im sleep deprived, and its all your fault, you bloody wretched manwhore. Well, this is a whole other side to you. Its quite unpleasant. I may have to speak to the landlord about it. I cant take this kind of abuse. My head jerked upright and I glowered at him. I swear if you don't start taking this seriously I will push you down those stairs. Now you're threatening my life. He tsked. That won't do at all. I loved the banter between these two!!

I absolutely adored where the storyline went (of course Im not telling) and all the emotion behind it. Grace and Logans characters unfolded perfectly and their story was paced to almost perfection. It was a great mix of emotional, funny and sexy. The epilogue was icing on the cake too. We may or may not get a glimpse of our other favorite characters from this series. ;) You just cant go wrong with a Samantha Young book.

This is the sexiest HR ever written. The sex scenes between  Aline and McKenna, and Olivia and Gideon, are scorching.

(And with Rosalyn Landor reading the audio version, it's fabulous.)

It also has one of the best and most brooding of heroes since Heathcliff.

He was the stable boy when he was tossed out of the manor for daring to love the Duke's daughter, but McKenna's made his fortune and now he's back for revenge. I love that he isn't some heartbroken wreck, but a man in full command of himself. So HOT!

There is a great romance at the heart of this one. Also, it's full of wonderful secondary characters that figure prominently in several books to come, including the Wallflowers and Hathaways series, so this first of many shouldn't be missed.

If this is your first foray into this world, I envy you. It only gets better in subsequent books.

HIGHLY Recommended!

I love this story, I can not get enough of it and will hate to see it come to an end one day, but you can bet I will get every book to the very end (Unless the story out lives me).  I don't get into plots. characters or storyline in my reviews, I just tell you if I like the book or not and if I would recommend it to others or not, so let's get with it.

1. I don't like the book, I love it and was so happy when I found it.
2. If you like and enjoy a good Science Fiction book, then you must read this one and the others in the story line, so yes I highly recommend this book
3. I think the characters in this book are great and the humor is outstanding, just as in the previous books of this story line.
