I can see, having finished this, why it is considered a classic of historical romance. I hate reading stories about rape-HATE!-but for some reason, I was drawn to the characters in this story anyway. And, at the end, it turns out she was never really raped at all, so I'm glad i didn't put it down at the beginning.I loved the characters, and I thought Wolfgar's character development was pretty believable, it took him a long time to give in to his feelings.I definitely recommend this for3/6/2013 - Re-read with my local book groupThe Wolf and the Dove is Kathleen Woodiwisss second novel written.

Still you will not find explicit sex scenes. The Wolf and the Dove

But I started reading it and loved it! I
