Lord of Fire, Lady of Ice


Lord of Fire, Lady of Ice
By Michelle M Pillow
***1/2 Stars

"She found herself unimpressed with him, having expected more of the legendary man--Brant. Lord Blackwell. Brant the Gladiator. Brant the Vigorous. Brant the Flame. Brant the Viking Hero. Della snorted in unladylike disgust. More like, Brant the Thorn in my Arse!"

Lady Della the Cold-Hearted
Lady Della despises all things Viking. They may rule the land, but they will never rule her. Unfortunately, her father doesn't seem to agree. To prove his continued allegiance to the Viking king, the Ealdorman of Strathfeld betroths his only daughter to a respected Viking Lord--a warrior who's legendary prowess isn't reserved for the battlefield. Fighting the newfound craving in her body and the unwelcome fire in her heart, Della must choose between everything she knows to be true and the one thing she never expected...

Lord Brant of Blackwell, the Fiery One
Lord Blackwell is as fiery on the battlefield as he is in his passions. He has fought valiantly for King Guthrum and has earned the respect of the nobles. When his overlord offers the hand of his beautiful daughter and the right to inherit his lands, Blackwell can hardly refuse. However, he soon discovers that his noble bride is anything but the meek and mild woman he envisioned for his wife. One minute she's kissing him back, the next she's swearing to do whatever it takes to dissuaded him from their marriage. Can his lust for life and his new bride melt the ice that surrounds her heart? Or will Lady Della the Cold be this warrior's undoing?

The idea for the story itself is really good and is a pleasant read, it just didn't keep me completely enthralled with the story line.This is one of those books that is good, but a little too predictable. I found myself caught between not being able to put the book down to wishing it would hurry up and be done already. I found I could easily put down and not think about for days and then pick it up later and continue on. This is the fourth book I have read by Michelle and I am not sure if she is my type of writer, so I will not be doing any more reviews of her books. Please take this as only my opinion and as an honest reviewer, you may want to give her a chance her books are decent enough and have good storylines.
