My review today is on the Medieval Romance, Lady of Eve. This is the second book in the Ladies Series. I really enjoyed this series but this is my favorite of the two. I love Tamara books and have a really hard time putting them down. This book is well written, heartwarming, and full of intriguing twists. You will love this one.
