England, 1536. Lord Wolf, hardened soldier and expert lover, has come to King Henry VIII's court to claim his new bride: a girl who has intrigued him since he first saw her riding across the Yorkshire moors. Eloise Tyrell, now lady-in-waiting to Queen Anne Boleyn, has other ideas. She has no desire to submit to a man she barely knows and who - though she is loath to admit it - frightens her not a little. Then comes that first kiss. It awakens in both a fierce desire that bares them to the soul. But as the court erupts into scandal around the ill-fated Queen, Eloise sees first-hand what happens when powerful men tire of their wives. Dare she surrender her body and her heart?
I freaking love historical romances. It's a combo of the two things I adore most in the world, and most of the time there is also some smexy times in it as well! And I can tell you this, if nothing else, Wolf Bride has bedroom steam like no other book, and the best thing is, this is supported by two characters that are so freaking likeable, that you get conflicted about which one is your favourite.
I'll just start off by saying that I love the story of Anna Boleyn. Since I watched the movie The Other Boleyn Girl when I was young, I was obsessed. And maybe it is because of that obsession that I was a bit disappointed in the historical part of it. It was an interesting choice to not go into how Queen Anne became Queen and what she did to do it, but about the consequences, not only for her, but also for her ladies-in-waiting, and it paid off. While I might've liked to see a bit more of that department, the part that I did get to see I enjoyed thoroughly.
Ohmigod you guys. The best part of this book was of course the romance. And no, not only the bedroom scenes, because though I do love me some smut-reading, I also love me some romance. And it was good in this book. It build slowly, almost catching you out of nowhere, and hitting you right in the feels.
In short, what are you waiting for?! Go read this book, and love it to death, people!
