Review: A very bloody but great story
Rating: 4 out of 5

The heroine in this book has been forced into a marriage that will eventually kill her because of her husband`s violent nature and because of the manipulations behind her back. When we first meet her she is on the run while the village she is staying in is burned down and everyone killed - all of it by her husband in his attempt of bringing her back.The hero is one of the most reluctant heroes I`ve come across - which really adds to the story. He finds the heroine and knows that he should return her to her husband since this is the law. But he can`t.The storyline mixes in the fight between Richard Lionheart and his brother John and that part is the weaker part of the book because it bends too much to the myths and too little to facts. But if you can look the other way from this, then you have a great romance between a pained hero and heroine who find each other and find a way to stay together.
