Description

About the Author Joanna Fulford’s two great passions as a child were horses and writing. Riding developed her love of and respect for the countryside – though it was sometimes seen at much closer quarters than anticipated – and writing allowed exploration of the inner landscape. But teaching was Joanna’s calling for many years, and she only left education to pursue writing full-time when it became a growing compulsion!

Features & Highlights

  • Northumbria, 867 A.D.
  • Beautiful and courageous, the Lady Elgiva is as great a prize as the land the Viking conqueror now controls. Earl Wulfrum has taken her home, and now he will take her—as his unwilling bride. Wulfrum is a legendary warrior, but the strong-willed Elgiva proves the greatest challenge he has ever faced. Yet her response to his touch tells him she feels the all-consuming heat as much as he. Their passionate battle can end only one way—in the marriage bed!

A Beautifully Written Love Story

This is the author's first book, and I'm looking forward to her next one. She did a great job portraying the turbulent times and how they affected individual lives. Both the hero and the heroine were portrayed as intelligent, honorable people who gradually overcome their mistrust to fall in love. The relationship builds up gradually and realistically, starting from a conquered and conqueror relationship to one based on mutual respect and trust. A poignant love story that makes you cheer for the well-deserved happy ending.

great

this novel really sucks you in. and the characters are so interesting, one of my favorites parts of this novel is how sometimes you'll hear what both main characters are thinking in the same situation and it just puts a whole new perspective on things. And can make some comedy, as it isn't what the other one thought it was. really excited for more to come from this author!

The Viking's Defiant Bride

Wonderful book. Keeps you interested from the very start. Just love books that have to do with Vikings, among others, and would greatly recommend it.
