Where do I begin to describe this book?  I have never read a Viking era book before so I wasn't sure what to expect.I found the world building and character behaviors very believable.  Many times when books are written about the past a lot of things are made up to fit out present day moral system which they did not have back then. It was survival at a brutal hard level. I was happy to see that was not the case.  Kelli writes the Vikings and the sea faring brutes that I am sure they were.  And let me say, they need some house breaking.  They lack lady skills as well, pretty much just take what and who they want.I was curious to see how Kelli would develop a romance within this era.  Let me say she did a fabulous job, It was a page turner that had me cheering on the main characters and of course at times wanting to say " you stupid man open your eyes"  ok I digress.The world she describes is believable and so easy to visualize and the characters are all there. There is a hero and Heroine, the horrid bad guy and all the secondary people to fill out the story.I wanted to go to my local Renaissance Festival when I finished the book.  Maybe I will find my own Rothgar there.I received a complimentary copy of this book from Innovative Online Book Tours for my honest review
