She finds Lord Stephen Barrett in the woods after someone tried to kill him and She takes him home.He pretends to be a lowly tutor to remain anonymous while he recovers, and then he will track down his assassins.I know this plot has been done to death already but never as good as this.I cannot wait to read more by JD. ...more

This book is great and funny.Lady Emmaline Eberhart petitions the King to get her husband to consummate her marraige, but her husband dies on route to do the deed.The King orders her to remarry Sir Amaury one of his trusted knights. Amaury is a landless knight who bears the taint of his illegitimacy, Amaury knows that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for him to be "Lord" of his own manor, something he has dreamt of since he was a child. Amaury thinks Emmalines husband killed himself rather than consummate the marraige so he thinks her ugly and is in no hurry to wed.But if her new husband does not do the "deed" quickly, she loses her home and her land to a cousin of her late husbands. There is a hilarious scene while the marraige is being consummated and the family is outside the door shouting "if they are finished because the late husbands cousin was coming".Ok The story is a bit silly but, this is a good light funny read ,and I love when couples marry very early on in a book as there is a lot more interaction between them. With fantastic secondry characters you have to love and the most naive Heroine ever....more

After reading all the reviews here i have to say i agree with the majority. The plot of the story has been done so wont bore you by repeating it. The characters Heather and Brandon are really interesting.Maybe Brandon should have been redeemed earlier in the book and Hannahs character stronger but i think she is only 18 to his thirty something years so in my opinion she was immature rather than weak at the start of the book. The rape scene bothers some people, I can understand that but they didnt bother me enough to stop me enjoying the story.This is a great read and i would tell anyone to give it a chance and form your own opinions.this is the first book in a series of three.
"The Flame and the Flower"(Brandon's story). "A Season Beyond a Kiss" (Jeff's story -Brandons brother). "The Elusive Flame " (beau's story -Brandon's son)

I felt i was transported back in time, the entire book was gripping from start to finish. The passion between Wulfgar & Aislinn is sizzling. The Wolf and the Dove is a good story that will keep you turning the pages quickly and never wanting it to end. Almost as good as "The Flame and the Flower"...more
