Review: Spanking good historical!

Very good historical (think King Arthur and Camelot) about a whore who is actually a seer and a huge scarred man in service to the hopeful King. I enjoyed both the characters and found their dynamic interesting. There was a bit of switching who was in control to illustrate a concept and it was very effective. They both have to think about not being perfect people and what that means including how they view themselves and each other. The capture scenario was pretty hot and boy did he punish. That man was relentless. Of course she loved it (this is romance after all) even when she hated it. Spanking was hot hot hot. The story has a real plot and there are political machinations happening that keep all characters in their grip. Really though it is what happens between two people here that is front and center. Dani is so conflicted that she fights things and Ferrum does not know what to make of her. They stick with what they have in common which is more than superficial - and it makes for a very enjoyable read. I wish there was more historical stories like this one!P.S. I know author's don't choose covers and this one is fine as cover's go but completely misses the mark with the characters. She's a blond and he's scarred (so clearly not the case with this cover).  It is a bit of a shame because the author has drawn them pretty vividly in the book. I would have liked to have a cover that represented them!
