This is the first historical romance I've read that involved Vikings. The research was terrific and Ms. Minger's descriptions left me with the feeling I was there. It was a nice snapshot into the Viking world. The story was intense at times and kept me wanting to read to find out how it would all play out.I really enjoyed the relationship between the girls and the author did a marvelous job of showing how they cared for each other. It would have been a five star if not for a few issues I had with the whole hair cutting thing not making sense. Also, at one point Garric/Gwen got a whipping but was fine that same day? Finally, Gwen had always been referred to as 'she' and 'her' but at one point it changed to 'he', 'him' etc.. and then it was back to the female descriptors which made it confusing.The hot and sexy Hakon was quite the romantic and a good match for Gwen. Without revealing too much, I found it to be a bittersweet HEA ending.
