A great book. I would give it a 4.5 stars. Aric is a harden Norman warrior that has no room in his life for love. He figures his mistress will live with him after his marriage to a Saxon woman the King William is making him marry for the land. He fights his attraction to Danielle from the start. At first he is rude to her during the day, and after a fight tells her she is not really to talk to him unless it is a matter or importance. She is there only for him to bed and due her duty of getting a heir. She is to obey his orders and he does not need to discuss anything to do with running the castle or anything else with her. Danielle was treated badly by her father. He hated her and when he died he left her cousin Thomas to be her guardian. Thomas and his sister treated her even worse than her father. They called her fat and told her she was ugly all the time as well. She also has a limp from an accident when she was younger. She has a hard time believing that her husband would want her. Her feeling are hurt a lot, and she does cries more than normal. Here are a lot of misunderstandings at first and Aric being the warrior won't set them right as he thinks he does not need to explain anything to her. Of course his feeling for her keep getting in the way and you see him change in how he treats her. Hopefully that description will not make you think he is a jerk as he has his moments of tenderness, and he does change. He is just bullheaded at first.Sex content is around medium - light. I saw the author listed on and erotica website, but these are not even close.
