Having suffered a humiliating defeat at the Battle of Stamford Bridge and the death of his king, Tyr Sigurdsson only wishes to return home and do what he can to help his fractured country. Hiding amongst the dead, he’s accidently discovered by a beautiful Saxon. Thinking to hold her ransom, Tyr is surprised to find his captive is not as reluctant as he would have expected.Orphaned at a young age and taken in by her Uncle, Rachelle Fiennes now fears she has no one. With nothing to lose, she accompanies Tyr, trusting him without even understanding why, but the fierce Norseman fascinates her like no other man.This is a story of reluctant enemies. In Rachelle, Tyr sees courage and spirit. In Tyr, Rachelle sees a hero and protector. Although knowing they should hate one another, they instead discover a growing respect and admiration, as well as a burgeoning passion.I found the heroine of the story very likable and sympathetic and Tyr was a fantastic hero, well-developed, complex, and everything a Viking warrior should be.  Their developing romance felt very real and I was thoroughly engaged in this well-written Viking romance.
