A forbidden love takes England to the brink of war...It's 1126. Heulwen, daughter of Welsh Marcher baron Guyon FitzMiles, has grown up with her father's ward, Adam de Lacey. There has always been a spark between them, but when Heulwen marries elsewhere, to Ralf le Chevalier, a devastated Adam absents himself on various diplomatic missions for King Henry I. When Ralf is killed in a skirmish, Heulwen's father considers a new marriage for her with his neighbour's son, Warrin de Mortimer. Adam, recently returned to England, has good reason to loathe Warrin and is determined not to lose Heulwen a second time. But Heulwen is torn between her duty to her father and the pull of her heart. Adam is no longer the awkward boy she remembers, but a man who stirs every fibre of her being - which places them both in great danger, because Warrin de Mortimer is not a man to be crossed and the future of a country is at stake...

Elizabeth Chadwick's THE RUNNING VIXEN, the sequel to her debut novel THE WILD HUNT, is much more than just another historical romance. Instead it's a vibrant and often moving story of the loving relationship that develops between two opposed characters, supported by a rich historical backdrop that most authors have difficulty in achieving.Many of the supporting characters return from THE WILD HUNT and Chadwick has lost none of her ability to bring the Norman era to life. From melees andThis is not my favorite of Elizabeth Chadwick's novels, there is too much sex and not enough history. The characters are as interesting and likeable as ever, but there story is somewhat painful to read. (Especially a certain scene when a certain fiance comes barging in to discover a certain man and woman with a certain lack of clothing, it was quite messy.) Ms. Chadwick's later novels seem to be an improvement on her earlier ones, the writing doesn't change but the stories improve.
That was definitely not one of the best by Chadwick.Yes, there was an adventure, an action, a romance and historical accuracy. But it lacked something that was in her other books. Something that carries away, grips full attention etc.The best parts were that I saw Guyon and Judith from The Wild Hunt and (as Misfit called him) the scamp Renard. I must read his story now.Most of all, it still was better than most historical fiction.

Am thoroughly enjoying the reading of Ms. Chadwick's early novels...you rock, Elizabeth! Your journey to the writer you are today is quite satisfying for this reader...Read twice!! The last time to a recoving husband who is a heart patient.
This book peaked WAAAY too early. It was also much more sexual than I expected. That's not always a bad thing but for some reason at this stage in my book-reading life, it annoyed me. Halfway through the book, it seems like everything should end there. This is my first Chadwick book that I've ever read and now that I'm perusing other reviews, I should have started elsewhere. This book is certainly not BAD by any means. The writing is VERY descriptive the characters are quite interesting and
Before reading - I waited what more than 10 years to read this. I read and loved Wild Hunt (book 1) and The Leopard Unleashed (book 3) when they came out, but this one went out of print and expensive long before I discovered online book shopping. I am slightly afraid I might not love it like the others, my tastes have changed and I might have overdosed in Chadwick books after a few more.After reading - and meh. I think I changed but I also think this book is a lot more conventional (and shorter)
Another home run for Elizabeth Chadwick. She's one of the very few authors I've encountered that can seamlessly transport her readers to the place and time she writes about. She makes them smell the herbs as the characters walk across the rush floors, breathe the damp air of Wales, see the shine of silks and banners of war, and hear the clop of horse hooves and rustle of chainmail of knights. You literally experience the book, not just read it. Her characters in this book are also just as
