3.5 StarsIt's been a while since I've read a Viking romance, so I was excited to immerse myself in a world that had long since vanished. The beginning of the book was a little shaky for me. Kaireen was not a very sympathetic character, coming off as a spoiled child. As the book continued, I was relieved to discover her reaction was due to her fear of her pending nuptials. That's when we meet Bram. Bram was a big, burly Viking that instilled fear and lust in Kaireen in equal measure. He flirted instead of giving her the fight she wanted. She had no idea how to handle him or the stolen kisses that made her forget she's supposed to hate him, and Bram used that to his best advantage.But things were not what they appear. Rival clans, deceit, espionage, an epic battle and a touch of the paranormal kept the action of the book speeding along. When everything Kaireen holds dear crumbles around her, she must decide what is really important, and find the courage to risk everything for the Viking who'd stolen her heart. The writing could have been tighter, the paranormal element not so blunt in the end, but I enjoyed the story and the vivid peek into the past. Everyone should have a Bram in their life.
