Wolf Bride
4 Stars

Promised in marriage to one of King Henry VIII's most renowned soldiers, Lord Wolf, Eloise Tyrrell is determined to never give him her heart despite their intense attraction. Eloise, a lady in waiting to Anne Boleyn, is well aware of what happens to a woman when her husband tires of her, and she has no intention of meeting the same fate as her queen...

Moss's attention to historical detail is impeccable. The realistic portrayals of the intrigue of Henry VIII's court together with the descriptions of settings, clothing, mannerisms, and attitudes make the Tudor era come alive on the page.

The romance between the powerful and enigmatic Lord Wolf and the spirited Eloise is charming although not anything that hasn't been done before. Moss thankfully avoids the silly misunderstandings trope that can be exceedingly annoying in these types of romances. That said, both Eloise and Wolf are overly stubborn and prideful. An open and honest conversation early on could have saved them both a great deal of angst.

Finally, while their relationship is not nearly as erotic as the "Fifty Shades of Tudor sex" promo suggests, Wolf and Eloise have great chemistry and their sex scenes do contribute to the formation of their emotional bond.

All in all, a well-written and historically accurate romance, and I look forward to reading the next book focusing on Eloise's sister, Savannah, and the King's clerk, Hugh Beaufort (Is he one of "the" Beauforts, I wonder?).

I'm glad I hung in there for the Anne Boleyn beheading scene (roughly 70-80% in) because it was done really well and the sense of history had my nerdy self jonesing.

The rest, well, umm, do you like nipples (this is extremely important here), amazingly dumb bratty heroines, and heroes without first names who call themselves rapists but aren't...sort of...kind of...not? This was also billed as erotic but honestly, I've gotten more out of a well baked chocolate chip cookie.

I really was going to write more of a review but seriously, they never mention the heroes first name, so this is all I have in me. The writing itself was good but the story never came together and the lead couple sucked (like that scholarly word?).

I'm off to bake some chocolate chip cookies

Wolf Bride was a fun and exciting read. It took me back to the Tudor Era, which is one of my favorites, while Anne Boleyn still lived. She is very much a background character, but her death plays an important role in showing the character of our heroine, Eloise Tyrell.

When Anne Boleyn is accused of treason, all of her close friends and servants were under scrutiny for the same, and Eloise was no exception. Navigating the court and intrigue has never been more difficult or dangerous. This was by far my favorite aspect of the story.

The romance, while it was written to be the main stage, fell into second place for me. Eloise and Lord Wolf definitely had a bit of a spark between them, but they were both too stubborn and unwilling to listen to each other for me to truly root for. Lord wolf was very overbearing, and while Elizabeth Moss tried valiantly to make it come off as dominant, there were many times it just came off as him being a mean jerk.

This was also far more of an erotic read than most historicals tend to be - intentionally so. I think it could have been toned down with more time given to our characters growing, but for readers of the hotter contemporary that are looking to try a historical - this may be the one that draws you in.

I enjoyed this story for the non-romance aspects, and I did continue reading and enjoying it. Watch for my reviews of the rest of the Lust in the Tudor Court series soon.

Enjoyable, full of lust and bits of history.

I enjoy reading about the Tudor age, if only I could stop thinking about how dirty and unwashed everyone was then! The characters are well written, although not strictly historically correct. Not a lot of people were likable. Probably true of the era?

Anyways, Moss's treatment of the historical content was done very well. I felt the flavour of the age, with the unsettling fear of offending the monarch that surrounded just about everyone then. The story focused on the sexy times much more then the story or rather the non-sexy times.
