Hence, it was nice to read about how a heroine conquers a fierce warrior. This is the romance between Aislinn of Darkenwald, whose home was invaded by the Norman conquerors, and Wulfgar, the so-called Iron Wolf of Normandy. In this book, Ms Woodiwiss tells the story of how these two people overcome all obstacles to find true love.

I admire Aislinn's strength and courage. Despite what she was subjected to when the Normans, lead by Ragnor, invaded her home, she doesn't lose her spirit. She remains the symbol of strength of the people of Darkenwald. As for Wulfgar, being the warrior that he is, he seems cold at the start, but then the author explains how he came to mistrust women. I like how their love develops. You get to see Wulfgar weakens where Aislinn is concerned, doing things that you would never expect from him. The author has also added some humorous exchanges between these two. It's also good to see the villains get what they deserve, and another bonus is the surprise revelation made at the end of the book.
This is the second time I read this. Admittedly, I would have probably only given this about 3 and a half stars when I first read it years ago, but I am so glad that I gave this book another go, as I truly enjoyed and appreciated it the second time. ”
“I read this book years ago. I'm not sure, but it may have been the first historical romance I ever read. I've been hooked ever since. :) I read it at least once a year, and it's never lost its appeal. Aislinn and Wulfgar are strong characters and their love story is terrific!”

“Okay, it took me one week to think about the book before writing a review, and I did not start another book immediately (which is not normal) the book was just that intense. I starting reading the book and was unsure of how I would feel with the forcefulness nature of it. With that said, I did like the book. The scenes were very descriptive and I felt immersed in the story. I felt what she felt, the sorrow, the drive, the pain and then slowly the happiness and loyalty to Wulfgar. Many battle scenes, this one is not for the faint hearted.

All in all, maybe a bit Scarlet O'Hara meets Stockholm Syndrome, but if you can look past that, a pretty good story.”
