Gareth ap Owain needs peace for Wales and the only way he can achieve it is to marry the Norman Lady Tanon Risande.  He cannot give the lovely lady the finery she is used to, but he can show her that his savagery is only for the battlefield, not the bedroom.  Tanon is determined not to fall for Gareth, but Gareth is determined to use every sensual weapon he possesses to lure her willingly to his bed.  While fighting the battle of the sexes with Tanon, he also needs to fight the very real battle of betrayal within his own ranks and a brother who wants to become king in his stead.  Tanon, cannot help but notice how the ladies of the court sigh as Gareth passes them by, and when he gazes upon her, she cannot help but wonder what it would be like to have the handsome savage in her bed. 

An historical of the finest caliber, Paula Quinn gives her readers adventure, passion, betrayal and romance.  Her characters are vibrant and alive.  The setting is rich in historical imagery and will take the reader back in time to days long gone by.  Gareth is strong, honorable, and fiercely protective of those he loves and in short, a hero to die for.  Tanon is amusing, feisty, very much a woman when it comes to Gareth.  The reader will find the interaction between these two very entertaining.  This reviewer enjoyed this story very much and savored each and every word.  The plot swept this reviewer along and the twists and turns at the end kept the plot fresh and alive.  The secondary characters give life and depth to the story and a secondary romance was also entertaining.  Ms. Quinn has masterfully woven a story that will thrill the reader and have her looking up more titles from this talented author.
