Taming the Barbarian

Romance Historical | Romance Paranormal

Widowed several years earlier, Fleurette Eddings is being pressured by her friends to remarry, but she's determined to remain single. Fleurette discovers an extraordinary statue of a 14th century Celtic warrior on a horse followed by a wolf and decides she must have it for her garden. With the statue firmly set beneath her window, Fleurette feels safe and watched over.

Sir Killian of Hiltsglen awakens to find himself on a roadway in a most unusual time. Men prance about more like women, who are quite brazen, but he knows he's here for a purpose. He rescues a young lady from a menacing bully, only to discover that this is the lady he's been sent to protect. He soon finds himself caring more for the lady than he should.

This novel would be more aptly named "Taming the Widow." I found Killian to be warm, gentle and chivalrous, bent on a mission to redeem himself and avenge his master's death. Fleurette teeters between anger and impetuous behavior for the most part. TAMING THE BARBARIAN is a light, fun read.

SUMMARY

The countess of Briarburn craves excitement, adventure, and passion... But she never dreamed she'd find it in the arms of a warrior from centuries past.

A simple touch by Fleurette, Lady Glendowne, awakens the warrior known as the Black Celt. Fleur finds it hard to resist this sexy, flesh-and-blood man, but is he there to save her--or betray her.
