review 1: Enjoyable overall, if a bit fluffy. My only complaints with this book would be the following:1.) Aside from names, places, and a smattering of well-established fact, there's not a lot of historical content here. The lack of that makes it lose the authentic feel I was hoping for, because as it is, one would only have to change a few minor details to place the story in virtually any time period or setting. It's a nice effort, but rather short on the research/incorporation of that material.2.) I felt that the story was left in limbo without a satisfactory climax/conclusion. Being as I was very much looking forward to the reclamation of the heroine's birthright, it was quite a letdown not to be able to experience it as it happened.Despite that, however, this was a nice bit of ... moreescapism.
review 2: AUTHOR: Romance, Historical Fiction, Non Fiction. An author that has ventured into Viking territory which authors seldom do. This book has the aaahhhh sigh factor. GENRE: Vikings; Historical RomanceSETTING: 9th century, off the eastern coast of PictlandCENTRAL FEMALE CHARACTERS: Avril is Pictish and a survivor. Independent; Intelligent; Honorable. Patient with her daughter Kimberly aka Kimmie and a woman that can wield a sword. CENTRAL MALE CHARACTER: Brandr, a Northman; a great Story Teller; Sure of himself; Chivalrous and Sly.SYNOPSIS: One person survives the Viking shipwreck. He is taken captive by a woman living alone with her 5 year old daughter after having been banished from her home. SEXUAL EXPLICITNESS: (14) breasts; (2) nipples. Don’t worry. The adults respected the 5 year old because of their thoughts, not their doing.WHAT I LIKED: Kimmie is a total complete delight and no matter what, DA is DA! HilariousWHAT I DID NOT LIKE: If this book mentions “a man filled with lust” and “sent a shiver through her” one my time, I will shoot myself. This is why I did not give the book 5 stars,I give this book (FOUR) stars because a really great romance with a little sprite to top it off. This book is on my list of favs and will be a re-read. less
