Wow! Firstly, If I rated book’s, which I don’t this would be way, way over five stars!
What a wonderful introduction to a new to me author’s work, this is the first book I have read by Denise Lynn and I can say without a doubt, it will not be the last. My goodness me this is good, I do love Medieval Romance, there is something tantalizing and raw about this era that instantly grasps hold of your attention and this is no different.
After her mother died, she was taken in by her Lordly father who has arranged for her to be wed to an aged warlord. Avelyn flees this very much unwanted betrothal, she thinks if she can get to France she will be safe. She is followed by unknown men and is eventually found by a green-eyed devil, who she instantly feels a raw connection with, even though this man is taking her back to be bartered off like a piece of bread.
Avelyn may like to act the confident young woman who likes to think for herself and she is an intelligent, feisty and strong woman in her own way. But I think that after all she has been through she is a naive, scared little thing. She has lost all faith and trust in all men, she is instantly on guard around Elrik but because of his calming and patient persona she soon realises that, this man is different.
Elrik; Lord of Roul has been forced to become King David’s notorious and brutal Wolf, to atone for the sins of his father who after being caught in a treasonous act had his life spared by King David under the condition that Elrik became his warrior. So along with his closest childhood friends; Samuel and Faulk – who are the only men Elrik trust’s he became the dark, dangerous and deadly Wolf.
I love the instant chemistry between Avelyn and Elrik, the first time they meet is so sexy. It’s like something out of Outlander, he threatens to pick her up and throw her over his shoulder, she says no so he does it anyway. These two even though there is a real trust issue between them, they are so good for each other.
She brings lightness, laughter and the kindness his poor wounded warrior’s heart need’s, even though it takes time for him to trust her his built in, urge to protect her with his life is constant. Whereas he is the steady warm rock she needs in her lonely, scared life. He is the proof that men aren’t always abusive, manipulative brutes that she has always thought, they bring joy to one and other and I absolutely love how Ms Lynn has portrayed each of their own personal mis-giving’s.
I do have a real fondness for a green-eyed, dark-haired rogue, and Elrik is something very special. My goodness me, he is a sexy as hell man, brutishly handsome…. Swooning! He has a charisma that can make any woman go weak at the knee’s, this man is pure sexual masculinity! He did what he thought was right for his father, he cares deeply for those he loves and if you are privileged enough to warrant that love, you are a very lucky person indeed. Everyone think’s him to be a cold, ruthless and brutally dangerous man, but I see a protective, smooth and genuine man who can charm the birds from the tree’s
I love this book! I really cannot say enough good thing’s about it, everything about this is perfect from the fast and engaging storyline, to the well-defined and completely likable character’s. The fast and witty banter between Elrik and Avelyn is romantic and laugh out loud, it is articulate and flows seamlessly from one beautifully crafted scene to the next. Ms Lynn is a wonderfully talented writer, she keeps you engrossed in the story with her stylish way with words and I cannot recommend this enough

February 11, 2024Not rating it. Don’t want to harm it.
Could not understand what the story was.
Why have a hero at all. Let the heroine do everything. If she is horny she can masturbate (pardon me). Why place a scarecrow kind of hero. Fake.
His existence has no meaning in the story.
I did not finish. Sounds peculiar. Ha ha. (Pardon me again). Really tried very very hard.
Quite frankly I found it unreadable.
But that is my sensibility. I like very few romance novels. Most seem like they could be written without the hero’s. So I frankly want to read about a man. With. A. Woman.
If that’s missing. It’s not a romance.
Or a man with a man. Or a woman with a woman.
But this weird thing where they’re both existing in a book with no connect.
Ugh. No. Not for me. .

4.5 A fearsome warrior, a hereto unwanted, but suddenly valuable woman are thrown together by a political marriage after he hunts her down for the king. He, not ever wanting a wife, she, abused by her jealous brother and treated as unworthy of even sitting at her father's table with no understanding of her value must somehow find away tp move forward together amid treachery and death attempts. A very good tale.

Une femme promise à un lord qu'elle ne souhaite pas épouser se sauve et se fera récupérer par un guerrier qui est mandaté pour la retrouver.
La promise du guerrier et un historique Harlequin qui fait le taff. Une histoire d'amour légère où nos deux héros apprennent à se connaitre et à se faire confiance avec finalement très peu de péripéties ou du moins très peu de choses qui m'ont surpris.
Tout est assez prévisible et l'intrigue et les personnages ne m'ont pas emballé plus que ça mais reste une histoire agréable à lire pour tout fan du genre.

Une histoire bien agréable, quelque peu faussée par le résumé. En effet, l'histoire s'avère bien plus intéressante que la simple notion d'un mariage arrangé. L'héroïne s'avère à la fin innocente mais téméraire, le héros est un mâle guerrier protecteur comme on aime. J'ai passé un bon moment sur cette romance historique.

I loved this story. Meeting Lady Avelyn was special for Denise brought her to life. She showed her lack of knowledge in some areas but how she could see thru lord Erik of Roul. How he was so important. She knew what her father was like. Denise brought that out in her. I loved the way she brought Lord Erik to life in the words she used. How people were so afraid of him when he walked into a room. I really enjoy the story. I found myself turning the pages to see what was happening next. She brought the era they lived in to life. How they had problems but they perservered thru it. Its a great book and its definitely worth reading. I will be watching for more of her books.

Wow! I really enjoyed this book. This is one of the few historical romance novels that seems to demonstrate an understanding of consent, doesn't buy into some of society's harmful ideas about virginity, and is still sexy. I do love the hot warrior type too.

Une histoire belle et sans trop de vagues, ça se lit facilement et c’est agréable. Quand on veut lire une histoire d’amour pas trop compliquée et ne pas réfléchir c’est idéale. Les personnages sont bien écrits et ça se lit facilement. Même si j’aurai aime plus de profondeur et de caractère à l’histoire, certaines choses méritaient qu’on s’y attarde un pet plus et certaines émotions méritaient d’être plus développées. Toutefois c’est léger et bien écrit j’ai quand même passé un agréable moment de lecture.
