Well, it's been a while since I've read Erotic Historical Fiction. I have some vague knowledge of the Vikings, but truly not a whole lot. I didn't realize that this book was inspired by the "real" Rolf. So, now I'm curious about him. However, I really didn't like him in this book. Anyway....on with the review.Cherine was an ok character for me. At first I was a bit annoyed with her because she just accepted them taking her, but when you think about it, going with them and trying to survive with them, was probably the best bet for her at that point. So, I started to understand her a bit more once I had that debate in my head.Erik made the story for me. I really liked him and he is a sexy beast. Once a brutal warrior, he no longer has the thirst for blood. He wants to return home and live a peaceful life. When he meets Cherine, I was a bit uncertain about how their relationship would play out, but I really liked them together. He was very sweet and gentle with her.The sex scenes between Erik and Cherine were hot. I actually would have liked to have seen more sex. There are some sex scenes between Cherine and Rolf, but they kind of turned my stomach. He was so degrading. Well...the threesome scene was hot though. That was the only time I thought Rolf may not be that bad. He quickly changed my mind after that though.Overall, it was a fast read and it was sexy. I've read this author's other books and am a fan of her writing, but this certainly does have a very different feel. She knows how to write good sex, so I look forward to seeing more Erotic work from her in the future.
