The Wolf and the Dove Kathleen E Woodiwiss 9780380007783 Books

I read The Flame and the Flower when it was released in 1972. At the time, I had one child, almost two years old. I stayed up all night reading it while my husband worked on midnight shift. I just couldn't put it down. I was twenty-two years old. I have reread that book at least four times over the years. The Wolf and the Dove is my second book by Kathleen E Woodiwiss. My life didn't leave much time for this genre. Now at sixty-seven, I read The Wolf and the Dove on my Kindle because of the name of the main character, Aislinn. My oldest granddaughter, twenty-two, was named after this English Lady in the book, by her mother. Not many girls with this name. Three children, eight grandchildren and one great-granddaughter later, I am going to read all of Ms. Woodiwiss' books. Why? Why not

The Wolf and the Dove Kathleen E Woodiwiss 9780380007783 Books Reviews

I have a very old copy of this book that my grandmother gave me. In, I believe, 2004 Kathleen was at a signing for her newest book at a local Walmart. I taped up the old tattered copy and went to ask her to sign it. I truly treasure it. I have not read it in maybe some 15 odd years, and decided to purchase it to read on my I phone as I'm always busy. I fell in love again with this story!!! I love that it is not just typical romance but has beautifully written battle scenes, and can wring your heart with the true emotions of humanity. She weaves a world so bright and real, you almost get lost in it....10 stars if they had them....
After I read this book, Kathleen became one of my many favorite authors. I found out the more of her books read, the more I liked the way she wrote. Therefore becoming my favorite author. I believe I have every book she wrote.

I still love the Wolf and the Dove the best. I will re-read good books all the time. I wore out the first book and bought another one to replace the first one. When I started reading e books, I bought still another for my e book library.

Kathleen brings her people to life. Telling a story that all the bad things that happen to her. That she got the best in the end. A good lesson in life, by not complaining what goes wrong in life. Not telling about the little hurts others do to you. Doing the best you can, when all is going bad. She came out on top getting all the good things in life..........Cheri
I've actually read this book many times but revisit it occasionally just like an old friend! I'm such a fan of Katheen Woodiwiss books and re-read all of them periodically! Her books capture you interest immediately and hold your attention throughout each book! I have found that Michelle Willingham's books are very similar in that aspect and greatly appreciate her writing talents as well!
I read this years ago and decided to go back and read it again now. It was as good as I remembered despite the tricky start. It's a typical bodice ripper with rape scenes at the beginning but if you get past that and make allowances for the times it was written in, the second half of the book is great. Your heart breaks for the h and what she had to go through to get to her hea. The H was a product of the times he lived in. Violence and conquering was his go to mode. He didn't believe women were good for much but the love of a good women eventually got through to him.

Update 16/03/18 For whatever reason I thought of this book today and the theme I remembered was the h wanting the H to marry her. I loved it despite the "bodice ripper" theme.
WOW, what an enjoyable read!! If you love historical romance at its finest, this is a novel to read. I couldn't put it down and was up 36hrs straight, having to read a bit at a time!! In this novel I NEVER once got bored even though it is a long read. I loved the characters, all of them, good and evil alike. Great twists and turns from start to finish with a surprising last ending chapters. This was a book that when finished reading, I could not stop smiling.....now THATS a GOOD read!! Enjoy!! Note this is NOT a clean read and rape is depicted as per era.
The first few chapters were very hard to get through, because they described a lot of domination and brutality. It was hard to read how the Normans and Vikings treated these women and innocent servants. I'm not a big fan of rape in romance novels (although I seem to remember it being popular in the 70's) but it is historically accurate. I didn't like Wulfgar forcing the heroine to have sex with him. It was very difficult for me to like him after that. He treats her so badly that it's abusive, and I didn't warm up to him until towards the late middle of the story.

There's a lot of melodrama in this novel. At times Aislinn seems bi-polar, swinging back and forth between rage and happiness within one scene. Her mother acts so hysterical and goofy she's unbelievable. The female villains are horrible but it was kind of fun reading about them.

The language the author uses is meant to sound medieval, and at times it was hard to follow what the characters were saying. It got a little formal and flowery at times, and slowed the story down for me.

There is a real romance in there! I did warm up towards Wulfgar. The characters did seem more believable and sympathetic towards the middle of the story. Towards the late middle to the end I could not put it down.
