Summary:
A Celtic woman nurses a wounded
Viking back to health, fearing an attack on her defenseless village if he dies.
What she doesn’t know, however, is that he came to the village looking for her.
Many years before he had saved her from a Viking raid, and now that he is a
leader he has come back to claim her.
To
complicate things, the woman hates Vikings with a passion because they killed
all the men in her village, blinded her sister, and now she is left to keep
things running in a town of old men, women, and children.
Now, on his feet once
again, the Viking and his friends decide to help the women… by marrying them and
taking over the village. The women fight them at first, but through kindness
and more than a little manipulation, eventually the Vikings win over the
stubborn Celts, merging their cultures and families.
My thoughts:
I
love historical novels, and the detail that shows up in this book adds so much
to the tale. The characters are realistic and relatable. Plus, how often do you
see disabilities like blindness in a romance novel?
While I felt it got a little silly towards the end, I really
felt that the plot kept moving quickly and the supporting characters were well
fleshed out. The woman made me laugh in their passive-aggressive fight against
the men, and the men made me laugh with their reactions to the women. There is
nothing like Celtic fire and Viking steel going head to head!
