It's NOT my practice to repeat/précis the entire novel in a review, further, all the basics of the story are in the synopsis., (which is incorrect on two points!! 1. Ronan is forced into a political marriage by his father it isn't really his choice 2. Isabeth has no parents living it is Ronan's father Blaythe who finds her a prospective husband)
The De Wolfe clan continue to support each other regardless. A DeWolfe is married to a despicable unworthy woman. (What happened to the Wolf pack marrying for Love & Life KLV has moved on from that it seems!) When Ronan DeWolfe, son of Blaythe, finally falls deeply in love with the new pregnant widow of his deceased best friend, it seems he has a hopeless struggle for any future with his beloved.
One tiny omittance for myself, KLV has no mention of the moment when Ronan first takes the lovely pregnant Isabeth to his bed. Felt deprived of that wooing and first mutual connection. Perhaps she deleted a chapter, but the ABSENCE of the precious first kiss, first touch leading to a first consensual sexual encounter was very notable. [Have recently been reading Monica McCarty and my goodness she writes these initial physical connections brilliantly!]
Second, KLV mentions a Lesbian relationship, why? It did not enhance the story in any way. Felt as though SHE felt she should throw in the possibility of Lesbians in medieval times. Is she going to bring this up again in a future novel?
The constant repeating of Ronan's father Blaythe (formerly James) death and resurrection was a bit much, but once was enough. After that, it becomes "padding out" the book.
To be genuine and honest in this review, there is a massive slip in passion, realism and content. Recently re-read some of her earlier novels and could really FEEL the love and passion between the hero and heroine coupled (sic) with the exchange of love in bed sport (as opposed to just lust). Having said this before it's as though some people have complained or KLV has lost some of her youthful enthusiasm. The book becomes a tad pedantic and, dare I say it, a trifle boring in places. The unreal death of the whore wife is a prime example of ludicrousness! There were a thousand better/more dramatic ways for her to die!
There were also some very very obvious similarities and storylines to the KLV novel "The Dark Moon" of the De Russe Legacy series. But KLV has absolutely no qualms in reusing blatantly similar tropes in her new novels.
Otherwise am just happy to enjoy reading about this generation of DeWolfes' love life. But please KLV, do pick up the pace again and go back to the initial passions you wrote about and engaged with.
