    Annotation

    Banished for bearing a child out of wedlock, Lady Eadyth spends her days tending bees. But when her son's father threatens to reveal the boy's true paternity and seize her lands, Lady Eadyth turns to Eirik of Ravenshire--England's most virile bachelor--and offers him a chaste marriage in exchange for revenge on his most hated enemy. Eirik soon succumbs to the sweet sting of the tarnished lady's love. Original.

    Library Journal

    When Lady Eadyth, the legendary Silver Jewel of Northumbria, strides into Ravenshire Castle to propose marriage, Eirik, Lord of Ravenshire, is appalled; but her reasons are compelling and Eirik is intrigued. This infuriatingly independent beekeeper heroine and handsome, but unpolished, tenth-century nobleman provide plenty of sparks and conflict in a passionate story that, despite clichs and a lack of trust on the part of both hero and heroine, will keep readers involved to the end. The novel won the Georgia Romance Writers' Maggie award for the best unpublished historical romance in 1993. Hill (The Reluctant Viking, Love Spell, 1994) is the recipient of Virginia Romance Writers' award for the best first book. [Hill lives in State College, Pa.]

    An historical romance of Saxon Englandby Karol_Lamek

    Reader Rating:
    See Detailed Ratings

    March 09, 2009: This saga of tenth-century England focuses on a less-explored historical era. The plot is a typical romance, with the main characters being highly attracted to one another, but repeatedly finding reasons to deny the attraction. The heroine, faced with the chance of losing her son to his sadistic birth father, to whom she was not given the chance to be married, seeks a powerful husband with similar features to claim parentage. She in return offers wealth, property and her strong abilities as a chatelaine. That she is beautiful and desirable seem not to occur to either principal until rather late in the relationship. Both have trust issues.

    Briefly put, if you enjoy historical romance with a bite, this will entertain you.
