Picking the book to read was a tough choice since she mostly writes romance suspense novels now. So I dug out one of her older historical romances from the 80s. I was sure this will be a classical bodice-riper that were so popular in the 80s so I was pleasantly surprised that, although there was some actual bodice ripping, the heroine was not naive virgin but hot-headed and kick-ass girl that is fighting for her right to party. The rating would be bigger if I did not have trouble with the [a:Heather Graham|30819|Heather Graham|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1258112542p2/30819.jpg]'s writing style. The descriptions of nature and characters were sometimes muddled and boring, no matter that the pages were dripping with action. Also, some of the places in plot were not enough explained (at least for me). For example: I loved this book. It was my first time reading Heather Graham and she quickly has become one of my favorite authors. Prince Olaf, Lord of the Wolves, is handsome and deadly. Princess Erin is beautiful and bewitching. He being Norse and she being Irish make them bitter enemies. Ireland in 848AD is a time in Irish history that includes invasion by the Vikings. Olaf is a blond haired, blue eyed, muscular mass of manhood. And he fights like the wolf he is named after. Erin is a dark haired, green eyed beauty who can wield a sword good enough to beat her brothers. When Erin was younger she witnessed Olaf's taking of an Irish village and to say she hates the man is an understatement. Olaf, during a separate invasion, lost the love of his life during battle.Erin and Olaf first meet when he is seriously injured and she finds him half dead on a riverbank. This tumultuous meeting sets the stage for a future relationship and I have to say the scene of this first meeting is incredible.Erin and Olaf are eventually put into each other's lives for political reasons and their relationship will go through stages of hate, distrust and, really, love.I recommend this book. Great read that kept me up way too late. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Two bold warriors, two proud lands, united by passion--and revenge . . . Prince Olaf of Norway--Lord of the Wolves, the golden Viking warrior who came in his dragon ship to forge a great kingdom in the Emerald Isle. Princess Erin--Daughter of the Irish High King, the ebony-haired beauty who swore bitter vengeance on the legendary Norseman who had brought death and destruction to her beloved homeland. Yet, in the great Norse and Irish alliance against the invading Danes, it was her own father who gave her in marriage to her most hated enemy. Bewitched by Olaf's massive strength, seduced by his power, still Erin vowed that neither the wrath of his sword nor the fire of his kiss would sway the allegiance of her proud and passionate heart.
