Book Description

Publication Date: December 1, 2011
In a time when men rule their households with firm hands, can a quiet man tame his rebellious wife with persevering love?

Angry at being forced to marry a man not of her choosing, Adaku stubbornly shuns her new husband on their wedding night. However, she soon discovers there are worse things than giving in to a man whose touch awakens her deep desires. In a land where fruitfulness is celebrated, she could soon be labeled a barren woman.

Obinna knows there are several ways to tame a rebellious woman. Patience and perseverance are two of them. Adaku is his treasure and he would never let her go. When her fears push her into his arms, will he be able to convince her to stay with him forever by unleashing the passion within her?

This is the first historical romance set in Nigeria that I have read. Kiru Taye's debut novella is an amazing introduction to the love lives of pre-colonial Igbo people in south-eastern Nigeria and the setting is done perfectly. There is a mixture of traditions, culture and language that puts you right in the place and time.

The book asks, can a quiet man tame his rebellious wife with persevering love? And the answer is yes, yes yes!

Obinna may be quiet but he exudes a masculine confidence that soon has feisty Adaku wanting him beyond reason. The former infatuation that had made their marriage start on a sour note quickly becomes an immature foolishness as she gradually falls for her new husband. The story was well plotted and the pacing drew you quickly to the climax.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

MALE MAN....... April 1, 2012

Obinna is almost not an African man except that he is.... a wise sensitive African man! He is my very reason for loving this book! African men are usually portrayed as brash, insensitive and riding roughshod over their women. This book tells a different story, a true story of the many sensitive, gentle and wise men, who with patience, demonstrate love daily to their women and earn their respect in ways that no-one else can begin to understand.

Obinna rocks! And if anyone ever thought he was weak because he was kind, his attempt to re-claim his wife, his release of her and their final stance as a couple, leaves no doubt in any mind who is captain of that ship.....yes! A true African man.

Kiru smolders with the sensitivity of the loved in describing this man. I am totally bowled over by how in tune she is with how hard it is for him but she rides it out authentically and ahh! What can I say?

I am only worried that too many women will demand this level of sensitivity from our men and I daresay they may be disappointed.....this one is an exceptional man!

An exceptional book,well worth the time, money and frustration.....Sigh!

This novella is set in a small Nigerian village, where we find Adaku, in love with a prince, married against her will to another man, Obinna.

Over the course of a year, as Obinna treats her with courtesy and kindness, and refuses to even touch her against her will, Adaku comes to respect, be attracted to, and even love her husband, just as he is giving up hope that he will win her over.

As an American, I struggled with the names a bit - my stupid mind kept converting Obinna to Obama. As a virtual tourist, I would have liked to have seen more of the day-to-day life in the village. They slept on pallets on the floor, had an indoor bathroom with apparently a bathtub - but was it just a bathing room, or was it a "bathroom" as an American would think of one, with a commode and sink? Couldn't tell.

That said, the romance was sweet, the jealousy that flared for both of them, believable, and their consummation was sexy and skillfully written. I'm very much looking forward to reading His Strength, the next book in the Men of Valor series by Ms. Taye.
