"Consumed by revenge--and desire! Captured by his enemy and chained like a dog, Leif Egilsson has one thought in his mind: revenge. He'll no longer be beguiled by the treacherous beauty of Lady Astrid, and her innocence, which he so craved, will finally be his. On his escape, this fierce, proud Viking is bent on making her pay the price of her betrayal--in his bed! Only, Astrid has the heart of a warrior, and she will not be tamed as easily as he believes."--

Very, very slowed paced for the first 52% of the book. I think it would have been possible to cut out a lot of what was there in these pages and still get the story and plot going. The pace became a little better after that point.
