First off, the PSA: Delilah Devlin’s The Pleasure in Surrender was previously part of an anthology called Hot Highlanders and Wild Warriors.

So yes, this one is all about a hot warrior with hefty big swords.

It’s 1067, and widowed Lady Edwina is determined not to marry that half-Viking, half-Norman knight picked by the king just for her. Despite having no leverage or position to negotiate, she decides that she will never marry again unless the man agrees to let her keep her wealth to herself.

So, Grimvarr lays siege to her place with his men.

She would never allow her people to suffer through a long siege. It being May, they were needed in their fields. No, she had perhaps a week before she’d have to concede.

Wait, so all this is just a game to her? Her people would have to defend the siege, and god knows how much damage that would do to these people, but LOL, they are just serfs, am I right?

Then he charges inside her place, and inside her… you know, and she’s like yes, yes, yes take her, she’s going to be his best wife ever.

My god, these people are petty, frivolous, and stupid, and a socialist revolution needs to happen to that vile place STAT. Given how the heroine thinks and talks like a 21st century brat anyway, screw historical accuracy—bring in the guillotine!
