I thought this was a good story.  The plot is interesting and flows at a nice, easy pace.  The characters are all fairly well fleshed out, and the book is quite well written.  I found Avril's responses as a rape victim to be very authentic.  Although she doesn't trust men, especially Vikings, Brandr's goodness shines through, and he is able to overcome her distrust.  Little Kimbery, Avril's 4 year old daughter, is so sweet and trusting.  Brandr is racked with grief at the loss of his wife and two children.  By the time he washes up on the shore of Avril's home, he's beyond caring what happens to himself.  All he wants is to die and join his family in the hereafter.  The love between Avril and Brandr develops quickly.  These two people are truly each other's salvation.  This is a wonderful story of healing, trust, and true love.  The love scene is steamy.  My only critique of this book would be the ending. It seemed a bit rushed and not fleshed out very well. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a great love  story.  Btw this is the prequel novella to the Warrior Maidens of Rivenloch trilogy.  The first book in the trilogy is "Lady Danger".
