Synopsis

The beloved second book in The Wild Hunt series: stunning historical detail, beguiling characters and superb storytelling.

A forbidden love takes England to the brink of war …

1126. Heulwen, daughter of Welsh Marcher baron Guyon FitzMiles, has grown up with her father’s ward, Adam de Lacey.

There has always been a spark between them, but when Heulwen marries elsewhere, a devastated Adam absents himself on a diplomatic mission for King Henry I.

When her husband is killed in a skirmish, Heulwen’s father considers a new marriage for her with his neighbour’s son, Warrin de Mortimer. Adam, recently returned to England, is determined not to lose Heulwen a second time.

But Heulwen is torn between her duty to her father and the pull of her heart.

Adam is no longer the awkward boy she remembers, but a man who stirs every fibre of her being—which places them both in great danger, because Warrin de Mortimer is not a man to be crossed and the future of a country is at stake …

Goodreads review by Marissa on April 01, 2012

This book peaked WAAAY too early. It was also much more sexual than I expected. That's not always a bad thing but for some reason at this stage in my book-reading life, it annoyed me.

B+: While the history is iffy, the Romance is stronger. Love any book with even a smiddling of Geoffrey of Anjou. Henry I has fought off one of his brothers to gain the throne, but continues to be threatened by William C in Normandy. Against this political backdrop, minor Norman Welsh Border Lord Ada......more
