I won a copy this book in a contest and I thoroughly enjoyed this read. Who knew the word pillage could become so...inspiring.We are first introduced to Cherine, a young peasant girl who is feeling unfulfilled with her life and those around her. Something is missing, and her future seems nothing short of bleak. Then, her home and family are destroyed by a band of brutal Vikings lead by Rolf the Walker and his confidant, Erik the Axe. Unexpectedly, Cherine's life is spared by Erik the Axe. Her future is forever changed, but is it still just as bleak or is this the something she's been missing?Both Rolf and Erik are handsome and mysterious men and Cherine is drawn to both of them in a sensual manner in which she was brought up to be ashamed of...but cannot deny. Yet, which one of these men can give her the life that she truly desires and will it even be possible to live that life?There were some very hot moments that had my jaw dropping...and had me begging for more. Emma MacKenzie is a new author to the erotica scene and I must tip my hat to her. Well played Ms. MacKenzie, well played indeed. Along with the steam, she wove history into the story and as a fan of historical romance, I enjoyed this very much. I must insert a warning here that there were some very dark and violent moments in this story that had me cringing. It didn't take away from the story for me. If anything, it added to it. I enjoy a good multifaceted story.Overall, I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from Emma Mackenzie. I recommend this book to fans of both erotica and historical romance.
