![]() ![]() She saw their laughing and talking to each other in a light that most people would not see and she came running to the fore, accusing her sister-in-law of being Geoffrey’s whore. What began to change it for me was the fact that Elene thought that Geoffrey and his sister-in-law were lovers. Geoffrey is very patient with her, to the point of being unrealistic, and I did tire of her “attitude”, but just about the time I was going to put the book down, it shot off like a cannon ball and I read the rest in one sitting. She is unkempt and aggressive, threatens one and all with curses, her knives and her attitude. Elene has had a very hard life, trusts no one and is suspicious of everyone and everything. The fact that Elene is forced to marry by the King’s decree after murdering her first husband (and yes, she did murder him) makes, at the very least, a less than comfortable situation between herself and the de Burgh brothers. Geoffrey wins Elene’s hand by being the de Burgh brother who draws the shortest straw. The deBurgh Brideis a medieval romance, the sequel to Taming the Wolf, and it tells the tale of Elene Fitzhugh and Geoffrey de Burgh. ![]()
