Review
"I found this story so beautifully written, feeling the emotions each character felt. Historical readers will love this riveting, action-packed page turner.... I absolutely and unequivocally highly recommend this masterpiece! One of my favorite reads of the year!" - Goodreads
"Tempted by Her Viking Enemy is book five in the Sons of Sigurd series and what a gorgeous story it was to complete it. The story itself moves at a lovely pace and had all the elements of historical romance that I love. It’s safe to say that I raced through this book! I loved it!" - Goodreads
"A wonderfully written historical romance. The storyline flows well and the narrative brings both the setting and the time period alive. I loved the relationship between the two main characters and how it developed throughout the book and how they go from enemies to lovers. The plot has both drama and suspense along with plenty of romance which kept me hooked until the last page. A lovely romantic read." - Goodreads

I have only read the second book in this series, and I remember the opening scene, a devastating one.
Here it is more subtle, even painful, instead of the gruesome details of the battle, it is the weight of the sadness left by the lives lost in the wake of the fight.
And what began as a story of revenge turned in a healing tale.
Brandt is driven by his need for retribution, to avenge the murder of his wife and unborn son, the soiling of his family’s name and the theft of his rightful lands. And now after years of inquiries, he knows who was behind the attack.
And while he should have suspected devious play, he enters the den of the wolf weapons in hands ready to die to clean his honor.
And death he will graze, walk at its doorstep until a wounded Angel steps in to heal his broken body and his lost soul.
Katla lives on borrowed time, threatened from all part, she survives finding her way in the shadows. And her new task to help her father’s prisoner to hold on his life is not an easy one when everyone made sure he was more dead than alive.
Them both have a long way toward the other, while the wound of the flesh are closing, those of the soul keep festering. Their time together give them food for the spirit, they get to know one another, really know.
The author offers us a great last in a series, tying all the loose threads together and giving a second to her doomed couple.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 detailed onscreen lovemaking scenes.
I wasn't sure I would like Brandt because I thought he would be too much like Sigurd and singularly focused on avenging his family's honor but he was not a hot head and was kind to Katla.
Katla was easy to like but seemed a little closed off at first.
I already miss this series.
Brandt shows up at Castle Wik and immediately challenges Thorfinn. Brandt is seriously injured, but his life is spared, ostensibly so he can face a trial before the king. Thorfinn charges his daughter, Katla, with nursing Brandt back to health. Katla and Brandt are wary of each other initially, despite or because of the sparks that flare between them. Katla had been married to an abusive man and was frequently beaten by her father, so Brandt makes her very nervous. Brandt is suspicious of Katla, wondering if she spied on him for her father.
I liked both Brandt and Katla. Brandt is an honorable man who was devastated by the deaths of his loved ones. He never expected to survive his confrontation with Thorfinn and isn't happy about it at first. As he slowly recovers from his injuries, he develops a great respect for Katla. Katla works hard to save Brandt and realizes that she has come to trust him. I was impressed by Katla's bravery as she visited him late at night, knowing that some would not be pleased. As the days passed, she and Brandt formed a solid friendship. Neither expected the sparks of attraction that flared between them, nor the deeper feelings that followed. Brandt never thought he'd have feelings for another woman until he met Katla, while Katla never thought she'd welcome a man's touch.
When Katla's father betroths her to a man she is terrified of, she begs Brandt to help her escape. He wants to protect her, but how can he leave without carrying out his plans to avenge his father? As he and Katla plan their escape, they also put their minds to discovering the truth behind his father's death. Some things that Brandt has learned do not make sense, leaving him with more questions. Katla has also experienced some unsettling revelations. When they combine what they know, they come to a startling conclusion. The ending was intense, as Katla provides the last piece of the puzzle that explains it all. There are some nail-biting moments as Brandt finally takes his revenge.
I loved the epilogue and how it brought the series full circle. There is an update on the brothers' quest for justice. We get to see all five brothers together again, this time with the women who changed their lives. I loved the scene around their father's grave and the depth of emotion displayed.
Brandt is a man driven by revenge for the death of his father, unborn son, and wife. He heads to Scotland, where he challenges the man who's responsible for their deaths, and ends up in his dungeon, where he's nursed back to health by Katla Thorfinsdottir, his enemy's daughter. Katla is a widow who's come back to live at her father's (really, her) estate and they catch feelings.
I honestly thought this book was very enjoyable and I read it in one sitting. I didn't expect to be as invested in it as I ended up being (because it's so short!) and I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of the plot the book contained. I especially like how both Brandt and Katla were previously married, which negates the whole wedding-night trope quite nicely, and I also like how Katla never "replaced" Brandt's first wife. Second chance romances are something I generally avoid because I am always afraid that will happen.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.
