Publisher's summary

From New York Times bestselling author Kathleen E. Woodiwiss comes one of her most beloved romances...

The Wolf

Noble Aislinn grieves as the Iron Wolf and his minions storm through her beloved Darkenwald. And she burns with malice for the handsome Norman savage who would enslave her. . .even as she aches to know the rapture of the conqueror's kiss.

The Dove

For the first time ever, mighty Wulfgar has been vanquished—and by a bold and beautiful princess of Saxon blood. He must have the chaste, sensuous enchantress who is sworn to his destruction. And he will risk life itself to nurture with tender passion a glorious union born in the blistering heat of hatred and war.

A Classic is Finally on Audible

I started the romance genre with this book and like many fans have re read this classic over the decades since 1974 when it was first published. Fans have waited 9 mos for this release. The sample IS THE FORWARD of the book, thank goodness, so new readers will get a full understanding of this First Lady author who started so many women on the road to great romance writing. The publisher was so smart to give us this forward, it is 10 mins long and wonderful, as it reminds even us readers of the romance classics what we have long forgotten over the many years awaiting this wonderful novel of it’s times. The narrator is a classic in her own way for this type of writing, not my personal top favorite but the publisher took no chances with the choice as she is a professional so fans could not criticize. I personally purchased a few books she narrated to make sure I would like this recording. I was not disappointed!! Now if we can only get the great Judith McNaught novels on full unabridged Audible?
Were my comments of help?

A story for all time

Kathleen became my go to author for romance 50 years ago. Like fine wine her tales age well. I have waited a long time for the audible to finally publish this and her books. AUDIBLE did not disappoint. Now I must get on to my 2nd favorite of her books.

Then and Now

I loved it when I was in my 20’s and love it now in my 70’s. I’ve read it many, many times and now I’ve listened to it. Wonderful romance book, however, the Forward was not necessary. There is no need to explain the obvious.

Loved it!!!

This book is by far my favorite from Woodiwiss. I have read it many times. When I saw it would be offered on Audible, I pre ordered it. I do not regret my decision. It is a job well done.

Loved it AGAIN

I read this book when it first came out in the 70s. I loved it then and I loved it even more now. I was a bit nervous about the Audible against the book, but it was exceptional. Kathleen writes in a way that touches your heart. This is what I will listen to again and again over the years. I hope you will enjoy it as I do these mini years.

Remains a favorite

I grew up with this story. I never thought it would make audio as it’s not full of feminist rewrites of historical reality. Strong heroine and honorable hero.

I normally don’t care for Rosalyn Landor’s male voices but she did well on this one.

A Classic

The first romance novel I read over thirty years ago. Was looking forward to listening on audio for a while. Unfortunately I can’t get into the narrator and that’s a deal breaker. If the narrator is a distraction instead of an enhancement then future books from them is a no for me

No whining female lead.

The strength and intelligence of the main characters. Great supporting characters. Good detailed description of historical time period and settings of where things take place.
