The Horsemasters: A Novel of Prehistory by Joan Wolf
Historical Fiction
Exactly what I needed at this moment. This was a very nice romance. It had some similarities to A Double Deception by the same author but was not at all the same story. It was just a lovely book about two lovely people in a marriage of convenience. The conflict and climax was outside their marriage and not all about whether they would or wouldn't go to bed together.
The heroine of this book gets raped by the hero while he was drunk and he thought she was a paid local village girl. She has laryngytis and can't tell him differently. The next morning he is accosted by her father. They agree that he will return and marry her if she is pregnant which of course turns out to be the case. They marry and later fall in love. The baby is born and they seem set to be happy. Problem is she is scared of the marriage bed. He is all angsty because of course it is all his fault and they struggle to overcome this obstacle. Of course they eventually do. Meanwhile things are complicated by the appearance of her slightly deranged cousin who has always loved her. The heroine's of J. Wolf's books are generally so beautiful and wonderful that nearly everyone loves them. A favorite that I reread every couple of years.… (more)
