Can a foundering
seaside village survive the onslaught of marauding Vikings bearing down on
them? Desperate to save her village from a band of Norsemen sweeping down the
coastline, Kaylla catches her first ray of hope when she discovers one of the
pillaging heathens washed ashore. Perhaps they can use this captive to bargain
for the safety of their village. Rolf Bloodhands, sole survivor of a traitorous
attack on his king’s fleet, assures her that his kinsmen will not spare the
easy conquest of their waning village for the life of one man. Instead he
teaches them the basics of defense and combat with the meager weapons they have
available. If they fail to stave off the invaders, the few villagers left will
either be killed or enslaved.
With only two
days to prepare for an invasion sure to decimate her village, Kaylla is shocked
by her attraction to the hunky Norseman she has enslaved. Who knew fear of
imminent death could drive an innocent woman to explore the oldest sins known
to man.
Angela’s Review:
This
story is set in the early days, when Vikings were ravaging and pillaging what
would be parts of the current United Kingdom.
The
heroine, Kaylla has been given the burden of caring for the two remaining
members of her family a younger brother and her disconnected mother. The heroine
meets all the standards of being strong and honorable, I felt her obsession with
sex in the very beginning to be a bit of a turn off. However, once the hero was brought into the
fray of things, it flowed much better.
When it
came to the hero, Rolf I was very pleased that the author chose to steer his
characteristics away from the stereotypical Viking. Even though he pillaged, he
was not uncaring, nor did he enjoy the suffering of others.
There
was lots of hot foreplay throughout the read and the sex scenes weren’t
lacking. However, I found the storyline dragging until about halfway through
the book. However, once I reached that section I was intrigued until the very
end.
If you’re
a lover of historical reads, sexy Vikings and don’t mind a slower start you’ll
like The Valiant Viking by Bambi Lynn.
