Editorial Review:
When the Normans invade and sweep across Saxon England in 1066, lovely Aislinn of Darkenwald watches her father murdered outside her home. Wulfgar, the Iron Wolf of Normandy, arrives to rule Darkenwald, and one look at Aislinn leads him to claim her as his own. She hates the Norman conquering forces, but Wulfgar awakens a consuming passion in her that she can't deny. As she struggles with her growing love for Wulfgar, she does what she can to aid her conquered people and her bereaved mother. But a jealous lord conspires with Wulfgar's spoiled half-sister and Aislinn's very life is threatened before Wulfgar can admit that the woman he conquered has in truth, conquered his heart. This beloved historical romance deserves a special place on the shelves of millions of romance readers and shouldn't be missed.
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.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - The Wolf and the Dove
I really enjoyed reading this book, and intend to read it again sometime in the future. I want a full collection of her books and am working toward that goal.
Rating:  - I liked it, but the characters were too dated for me.
The female characters are written from a mindset of 34 years ago: love and serve your husband, family and others in the community, never complain and turn the other cheek when hurt. Women were valued for their beauty and compliance. Yes, this character type may be historically accurate for 1066, but I prefer a little more vinegar in my heroines. Aislinn was too perfect for me. Wulfgar conquered the Darkenwald lands previously held by Aislinn's father. He made Aislinn his mistress/slave. He ... Read More
Rating: - One of my all time favorites!
I recently re-read this book (after 34 years) and it was and is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES. I remembered some of the story but much of it was forgotten so it was almost like reading a new book.
I loved the characters and found the story engrossing from start to finish. Because of it's length (508 pages) it took me 2 days to read it but there wasn't a dull moment. True there was the "every day" life that went on within and around Darkenwald, but I enjoyed reading about what it might ... Read More

Rating:  - Appalling! The worst medieval romance I have ever read
I hadn't even planned on writing a review of this book, but after looking at all the glowing reviews along with so many things that I see that are wrong with this story, I feel the need to put my two cents in and hopefully steer readers away from this dated and dreadful mess of a book. The Wolf and the Dove starts in 1066 as William has invaded England and the conquering Normans take control of the Saxons and their lands. I'd go into the plot in detail, but so many other reviewers have already done ... Read More
