This book was alright. Johanna Lindsey is a pretty good writer, and the characters and atmosphere are well formed. But unfortunately, Milisant is one of the most grating, abrasive, and annoying heroines I've ever come across. She is completely unlikeable, completely anachronistic, ridiculous, and I wanted to smack her all the way through. Couldn't understand for a moment why Wulfric would ever want to marry such an annoying little shrew. She wasn't cute, she wasn't spunky, she was ~obnoxious. And rather ruined my liking of the story.

I didn't see love at first sight other reviews are talking about. He was arrogant and barely listened to her, I know it was a different time but he irritated me no end. The term 'wench' when he was annoyed particularly irked me.
Not impressed.

Typical Lindsey historical. Betrothal from childhood. Childhood grudge turns love. Quick read.

Hard to stay into and read. Something about the characters and writing annoyed me. I liked some other Johanna Lindsey's I've read but not this one.

This book was okay. Not great and not awful. It held my attention.

If you like JL, you'll love this book. It is her perfected formula.
