OK, it almost kills me to give a Kristen Ashley book 4-stars.  But, I had to do it.  It was still a good book, and I don't regret the purchase or the time it took to read it.  I just didn't LOVE it.  First, the whole Wife Hunt.  While this was fiction, and it was really necessary to the story, it was still very violent and very brutal.  And the abuse of women in some parts was hard to read, again, it was necessary to the story, so it wasn't a random insertion of brutal beatings and sexual abuse.What I did like was Circe learning about the new culture, learning a new language, and trying to fit in with the Horde.  Lahn took awhile to grow on me, but of course he did.  By the end, I was into the book and hated to see it end. This book was really like nothing I've read in a long time.  Think Conan the Barbarian mixed with Knight in Shining Armor....with some Mad Max Thunderdome thrown in...worth the read!
