The Briton and the Dane Concordia by Mary Ann Bernal - Book review

 
 
 
5.0 out of 5 stars Bringing Historical Fiction into the 21st Century January 2, 2013

Amazon Review By Marky The Wizard

A cracking read from Mary Ann Bernal for the fourth book in her series. All her hallmarks are there - sumptuous description of the period, accurate, sharp dialogue and a central plot which shrewdly functions as allegory for modern relationship dilemmas. The strength of this book is in the characterisation: Concordia is feisty, vain, arrogant and subtly alluring. Brantson is noble and forthright, a Galahad by any other name. Chad and Thayer are mysterious and exotic, laced with a hint of danger. The interaction between all of the principals is well observed and at times, thrilling. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and heartily recommend it - and not just for fans of historical fiction.
