Good grief, at some of hese reviews. O.O Everyone is, of course, entitled to their own opinion. Yes, there is a great deal in this story I could be offended by, if I chose to be. But it's fiction, set in a time when many, many things then were completely unacceptable, yet people had to live with it. If you take this for what it is, it was still worth my time reading, and I still enjoyed it. Perhaps not as much as my sixteen year-old self did, LOL. But well enough to be entertained. : )She was the daughter of the lord of Darkenwald, proud, wise, and uncommonly beautiful, but now Aislinn is but a slave to the conquering Normans, a plaything for the man who killed her father. Sitting in the hall with rope tied about her neck and forced at the feet of her captor, she watches helplessly as the Normans ransack her home and abuse her mother. But she will have her revengeno Norman will ever conquer her, nor will she ever give up the only home she has ever known. Born as a bastard and
This has got to be the WORST HISTORICAL ROMANCE I HAVE EVER ATTEMPTED TO READ!Argh! The conversation was so forced, it was like watching an old play, with, I shit you not a proper damsel in distress. And he is the classic mustache twisting villain. The author has proven that she has the uncanny ability to overstate the obvious...Example: "Join me and we shall dine, so we quench our hunger!"Really, you're hungry? OH MY GOD!!!! I thought you want to eat for a completely different reason..... She
This was a long, long, loooong book.Forget about the raping and the constant fondling of every woman in the story, it was BORING as hell!The writing wasn't very good and some of the words the author used to set the story in the 1060's or whenever it was set weren't really doing it for me.The characters... well... I just didn't like them!, Aislinn came off as a bipolar girl who's temper went off at the silliest things from guys but then she went totally doormat when it was another woman doing her
What a disappointment!This book came so highly recommended and I was so excited to finally get on with it... but what a waste.The Heroine, supposedly a spitfire, acts like a complete sissy in front of the "enemy" - The hero.Just 25 pages into the book and the "Hero" (who is indirectly responsible for the heroine's father's death as well as that of several of the her country men)is getting glances from the the heroine with "something akin to tenderness" in them ?!!! Really!? And he is the same

A Saxon noblewoman, Aislinn, was turned to slave and mistress (read harlot) when Norman's invaded and overcame the Saxon homestead. Wulfgar used her as a slave but treated her somewhat kindly in bedroom matters. I honestly don't see how the vanguished can turn around and love the man responsible for raping and degrading her before her people. Sure it ends in marriage but how do you get over the grievous things done to you?This is a 500 page book with a story that could have easily been told in
