In his will he states that Celia will inherit the Castle of Wolfenbach in the Black Forest if she marries the master of the castle. Celia can either accept these terms or live with her brother and his spoiled wife and be known as the spinster sister. She looks at her adventure to Germany as one of her many fairytales she studied with her father and sets out to claim her home. Celia arrives at the castle to find it in disrepair with gargoyles, eerie legends to make one shudder, and the nightmarish stories about its master. <br/> <br/>Fenris von Wolfenbach, lost a leg in the war against Napoleon and wears his wooden leg as if it is a statement that he is not whole and no one should forget it. He is rude and ill tempered, and tries to chase Celia away. However, Celia doesn't scare easily. She begins to see the wounded wolf in a different light. His ferocious growl, dark ways and brooding is his protection from being hurt from the outside world. Ridicule and pity made him shy away from reality, but Celia sees him as the man he is: honorable, brave and strong. Now the only problem is she needs to make him see it as well. Others with devious intent do not want this to happen and would stoop to murder if necessary. <br/> <br/>This historical is touched with a bit of the paranormal as the legend of the Wolfenbachs is slowly revealed. I loved the feel and ambiance of the story taking the reader to a different time and place within the Black Forest of Germany. The heroine is charming in the way she tames the wolf, and brings out the true honorable man hiding from the world because of his imperfection. This is a fairytale with a happily-ever-after ending. <br/> <br/>This reader was truly enchanted! <br/> <br/>reviewed for PNR Paranormal Romance <br/>www.paranormalromance.org <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1016782?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
