Synopsis

A legendary warrior. A mission to tame the rebellion of the Welsh Borderlands. A wild Welsh beauty.

For years Teleri of the Woods, shunned by superstitious villagers, has lived her life in solitude among the creatures of the forest. But when she discovers a man ambushed and left for dead in her woods, she must try to save him with her healing skills. She does not know he is a knight charged by the King of England to establish a stronghold and build a castle nearby, only that he is the same knight who chased her once before.

Sir Roger FitzAlan awakes to discover that none of his fabled diplomacy and skills of war will help him with his most immediate problem—a madwoman who has tied him to stakes in a small woodland cottage. Teleri is his match in wit and will, but she opens his eyes to the wonder of a simple world he has never known.

As Roger recovers and formulates his plan for catching his would-be-murderer, he realizes something else: his real challenge won't be taming the borderlands but taming and winning over his wild Welsh healer. But when he understands that he cannot live in her world and she may not survive in his, he knows he must teach her to trust him, even though he threatens all she holds dear.

Contains mature themes.

Goodreads review by Simply Sam on June 27, 2016

This was....cute. The pacing was a little off and some parts were super cheesy but the cheese factor helped make it entertaining, if for no other reason than it made for some funny recitation (which my husband got to enjoy!). There's a few good moments that pull at the heart strings, there's some sex......more

I loved this one. Although not based on a fairy tale, WILD has a beautiful, very romantic, fairy-tale feel to it. The heroine, shunned by the town because they fear she's a witch, lives in a tiny isolated shack and spends her time caring for wounded beasts. When she stumbles across an injured man (w......more
