Everlasting

by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss



      Everlasting takes place during medieval times. The heroine, Abrielle, expects to have many suitors, once her stepfather receives property from King Henry II, his reward for being a loyal servant. What she gets is an arranged marriage to a horrible man, when the King changes his mind about the reward. Abrielle is taking one for her family, but, despite being a Saxon, she is tempted by another man, an incredible Scot named Raven Seabern, who is in the service of the King. The more I read, the more I wondered if these two would ever get together.

As with previous Woodiwiss novels, I just wanted to find a quiet spot to savor what I knew would be a superb romance novel. And it was. Each word, sentence, paragraph is eloquently written. I rooted for the hero and his father, booed the villains, and wanted to knock some sense into the heroine. Everlasting will sweep you into the past and through the lives of two who are meant to be.

I remember when The Flame and the Flower was published. It was different. I couldn’t put it down. Afterwards, I constantly checked the store, waiting for Woodiwiss’s next novel. Woodiwiss set a standard. Years later, when she returned to writing, picking up her newest book was like hearing from an old friend. In her passing, the romance genre has lost an icon.
