I absolutely adore Johansen's historical romances. They always have a magical quality about them with really strong females. Some of them might not be strong at first but they certainly learn to be by the end.
Delightful characters and dialogue. All her historical novels have characters that are a bit similar but they are still fun to read.
"she was a prisoner bound by duty and desire...he was a conqueror for whom nothing was forbidden..."
Taken as a slave, fiery, tempestuous Brynn of Falkhaar was awed by the magnificent warrior who stood before her. Known for her skills as a healer, she had been brought to his battlefield tent to save his dying friend. Yet in the days and nights ahead, the sensual conqueror made it clear she might be more than nursemaid to his soldiers. She could be the intimate play thing of his seductive desires.
Dark, brooding, and passionate, Lord Gage Dumont was a man used to conquest. And yet with one look at the beautiful slave he'd been given as his spoils, he realized she held him prisoner. As she fought to save his friend with her healing powers. Dumont felt her fiery touch deep in his scarred soul. Though he may have already owned her body, what he wanted was her heart -- and for that he would risk everything.
