COME THE MORNING

In twelfth-century Scotland an unwilling bride comes to love her warrior husband. Their home is attacked by Vikings; Mellyora is kidnapped; Waryk rescues her. Tender and erotic love scenes alternate with sword fights and boiling oil. Burr's reading lifts a routine bodice ripper somewhat above the ordinary. She captures Mellyora's feistiness and her husband's power. Scots accents are well done, but is this the way the Vikings talked? Who knows? J.B.G. © AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/MAR 00]
