856 Ireland is a wild and barbarous time for Kaireen, daughter of a Laird, to be married to a Viking invader she's never met.  The fiery red-head is determined to avoid her fate and tries at every turn to persuade her barbarian she will not marry him.  But when his rugged good looks and superior fighting skills begin to sway her heart, Kaireen must work hard to guard herself from falling for the Viking.Bram, the ultimate hot, hunky hero, is easily attracted to his reluctant bride.  He puts up with her attempts to discourage him and mounts a subtle but constant campaign to win Kaireen's heart--even offering to set her free from the arranged marriage.  Does she take him up on this offer?  Read Viking Fire to find out!I don't think I've ever read a Viking romance before, so Viking Fire was a wonderful introduction to this era in Irish hsitory.  I adore all things Irish and this book gave me a fascinating glimpse into an earlier period than I've encountered before.It's a fast paced historical that will keep you on the edge of your seat and turning pages into the night.  These two feisty lovers will absolutely capture your heart as they encounter mauraders, hostile clansmen, and a bit of magic during their struggle to find a way to their HEA.Two things I'd like to have seen more of:  deeper POV for Kaireen so I could feel her emotions better and more POV period for Bram.  He's such a hot hero I wanted more "face time" with him!  Otherwise, another fantastic romance from Andrea Cooper.BTW--Will Shay get her own story?  I'm dying to know!
