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..... SheGood 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. : )
I read this in my teens (a VERY long time ago)...it is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES...I re-read it every couple of years...

3/6/2013 - Re-read with my local book groupThe Wolf and the Dove is Kathleen Woodiwisss second novel written. Its a rather lengthy Viking Historical with over 500 pages, all of which I devoured as I enjoyed a re-read with my local book peeps. While I was happy to find its still among my all time favorites, I realize this book may not work for others. Woodiwiss is well known for taking the romance genre into the bedroom in 1972. Still you will not find explicit sex scenes. The Wolf and the Dove

A stroll down memory-lane via a Buddy-read of Andrea CP and Vivacious Vivian.
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
