Review: An Intense & Erotic Read!
Rating: 4 out of 5

This story surrounds an 18 yr. old peasant girl, Cherine, and two strong male warriors, Rolf and Erik. Rolf and Erik are Vikings and basically take siege over the small village where Cherine and her family live. She is the only one that survives and at first hates Erik, as she is then a prisoner to the Vikings. Rolf, though, who is like the leader of this Viking Clan, wants Cherine to himself one day, and wants Erik to make Cherine ready for him, and at first she doesn't want to be near any Viking, so being near Erik is not different, but somehow, she notices that he is actually kind to her and even though Erik has orders to 'sexually break' Cherine, he finds himself actually caring for her, and they enter a short and dangerous sexual relationship that might have more feeling than they thought they can ever give, but when it's Rolf's time to be with her, things change, and Cherine learns that being a possible duchess and wife to Rolf, might not be what she wants, and there might be friction that overshadows any happiness and freedom that Cherine always wanted.I had not read an erotic in a while, and I don't think I've ever read one that was set in the 10th Century. This story though had a great outline of events, that I was reminded that this story is set so long ago, but with certain intimate situations, I forgot, at times, that these characters are from a century, so long ago. The location described, and some of the dialogue, seemed very believable, and I felt, well, that I was taken to an old setting in France. There were sex scenes, oh yes there were, but I thought that there were not as much, but there were just enough for this story, if that makes sense, so anyway...lastly, I think I liked the way this story ended, but I feel like because of a shocking and quick indecent, that maybe I knew was coming, but when it actually happened, it sorta threw me off, and I felt the story ended maybe too soon as I wanted to know just a wee bit more about one character, but overall this was a very good erotic romance historical read.My Rating: 4.2/5
