However, Brand has put a lock on his heart. Each quickly realizes that they have misjudged the other, and the more they get to know each other, the more they are drawn to each other. I loved their interactions on the journey from her home to his. Brand has a fearsome reputation and uses it to get his way, but he is surprisingly protective of her. She only cooperates when he threatens the lives of her people. Anne is no pampered princess and stands up to Brand from the get-go. I was glued to the pages from start to finish. Kidnap Anne and wait for Crowe to attempt a rescue. Learning of Crowe's betrothal gave him the perfect weapon. Brand has sworn revenge against Anne's betrothed, Lord Crowe, and has spent years preparing for it. The night before her wedding, she is walking alone on the castle walls when she is kidnapped by Brand the Barbarian. She dreams of marrying for love and is horrified when her father bargains her hand for soldiers from a neighboring lord. Anne is the daughter of a Saxon king and has been kept a virtual prisoner in her home. The story grabbed my attention from the first pages.
