Column Appertaining To Books The Wolf and the Dove

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...

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

I can see, having finished this, why it is considered a classic of historical romance. I hate reading stories about rape-HATE!-but for some reason, I was drawn to the characters in this story anyway. And, at the end, it turns out she was never really raped at all, so I'm glad i didn't put it down at the beginning.I loved the characters, and I thought Wolfgar's character development was pretty believable, it took him a long time to give in to his feelings.I definitely recommend this for

I don't remember enough to review Woodiwiss' bodice rippers individually. Looking back through the fog of time and cheap 1970s weed, I consider her books my Pre-Rogers (Rosemary ) romances. I'll bet I adored The Wolf and the Dove , though, because I loved me some mean medieval heroes. For some reason, the Norman Conquest seemed like an excellent excuse for snarling alphas to behave like randy wolverines without troubling my newly emerging feminist sensibilities.

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

I think there is a point in most women's lives where they have read trashy romance novels. For me, it was my junior and senior years in high school and my freshmen year of college. I had a friend in high school who actually had to hide such books in her underwear drawer. Her mother would've flipped out. We pretty much read them because of the trashy romance novel sex scenes. Except for the Guardian Angel. He read Harlequin Romances; I'm not sure why.And then.And then I read one too many where

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
