Kristen Haardrad afrontó desafiante la furia helada que despedían los ojos verdes del hombre que la había capturado. Era prisionera de Royce de Wyndhurst pero jamás aceptaría ser su esclava.
En esa belleza vikinga el poderoso señor sajón había encontrado, al fin, a alguien que lo enfrentaba de igual a igual, idéntica en orgullo, en fuerza... y en ardiente sed feroz de deseo insaciable.
Kristen no podía conocer el tormento que dividía el alma de Royce: él ansiaba abrazar su cálido cuerpo y oír su risa cristalina, al mismo tiempo que la odiaba por un antiguo crimen...
Kristen y Royce pertenecían a dos mundos en pugna. ¿Quién sería el primero en rendirse ante la desgarradora promesa del amor...?

Surprisingly, 4.5. Similarly how Reality TV is not necessarily 'Great TV', or a movie you still love from childhood is not necessarily a 'masterpiece of cinema' but can still be fun and quite entertaining, I feel about this book. It doesn't particularly shine in the areas of story that often appeal to me, I wasn't in love with the characters, it was not exceptionally clever or poetically written, but *something* about it, made me not want to put it down. I like this book better than the one before it in the series, though it also had this same quality as well, they just held my interest in an engaging way that I can't explain. Like being told a story as a kid, and feeling eager to hear what comes next. ? Things I didn't like as much, it's not terribly realistic, and the characters were a little bit daft and their emotions ran very high (and swung every which way!), -things I did like, the heroine was strong and was honest with herself and stuck to who she was, the hero was protective (though of course he mostly passed it off as possessive...), and I enjoyed watching them take in new information from the other and adapt to it. And the side characters were pretty likable. ( )

Η Μπρένα κι ο Γκάρικ που γνωρίσαμε στο “Φωτιά και πάγος” ζούνε πια αγαπημένοι και μονοιασμένοι. Έχουν τρεις γιους και μια κόρη και αγαπάνε όλα τα παιδιά τους εξίσου. Ο Γκάρικ θέλει να σταματήσει πια τα εμπορικά ταξίδια στην Ανατολή, οπότε και δίνει τα ηνία στο μεγάλο του γιο, ο οποίος αναλαμβάνει να οδηγήσει το γερό σκαρί μακριά από τον τόπο του. Όλα θα πάνε στραβά όταν ανακαλύψει την αδερφή του κρυμμένη στο αμπάρι του πλοίου και ακόμα χειρότερα όταν το ταξίδι δεν θα προχωρήσει όπως το είχε σχεδιάσει.

Η Κρίστεν Χάαρντραντ είναι άξια κόρη της Μπρένα και του Γκάρικ. Είναι μια Βίκινγκ που έχει μεγαλώσει με τις αξίες του λαού της και έχει γαλουχηθεί με τα εφόδια που χρειάζεται από τη μητέρα της. Δεν θα κάνει ποτέ πίσω σε κάτι που θέλει, ούτε όμως και στον κίνδυνο προκειμένου να σώσει αυτούς που αγαπά. Όταν όμως γνωρίσει τον Ρόις θα καταλάβει πως δεν μπορεί πάντα να ελέγχει τα συναισθήματά της.

Ο Ρόις είναι ένας περήφανος άντρας που όμως έχει υποφέρει πολύ στο παρελθόν. Διοικεί με πυγμή το κάστρο και τους ανθρώπους του και δεν θα επιτρέψει σε κανέναν και τίποτα να διακινδυνεύσει την ασφάλειά τους.

Πρόκειται για το δεύτερο βιβλίο της σειράς και αυτή τη φορά είναι μια γυναίκα Βίκινγκ που πρωταγωνιστεί. Η περιγραφή της είναι ακριβώς αυτή που θα περίμενε κανείς για κάποιον που ανήκει σε αυτό το λαό. Αν έχεις διαβάσει και το πρώτο βιβλίο της σειράς, θα δεις πολλές ομοιότητες ανάμεσα στην ηρωίδα και στους γονείς της. Είναι ένας συνδυασμός που της ταιριάζει πολύ αλλά και που οδηγεί σε ένα τελείως διαφορετικό χαρακτήρα. Μου άρεσε πολύ ο τρόπος που αντιμετώπισε τα συναισθήματά της και αγωνίστηκε για αυτά που ήθελε.

Ο ήρωας από την άλλη ήταν απλά απολαυστικός. Όσο κι αν δεν ήθελε να το παραδεχτεί, ερωτευόταν την αιχμάλωτή του μέρα με τη μέρα, λεπτό το λεπτό και μισούσε τον εαυτό του που της στερούσε την ελευθερία της. Από την άλλη όμως φαινόταν να σέβεται παράλληλα το γεγονός πως ήταν μια γυναίκα της φυλής της και πως αν ήθελε θα μπορούσε να φέρει τα πάνω κάτω στον πύργο του!

Με αυτά και με εκείνα, πρόκειται για μια πολύ ωραία ιστορία αγάπης. Δεν μένει παρά μόνο να διαβάσουμε το τρίτο και τελευταίο βιβλίο της τριλογίας, “Αιχμάλωτη του Βορά” που κυκλοφορεί τέλος του μήνα από τις Εκδόσεις Elxis. ( )

She writes such enjoyable stories. You feel connected to her characters, and want to know what happens after the story has ended. (Luckily, most of her stories have more books in the series to update you.)

Kristen Haardrad, a beautiful Viking maiden, wants love, but not from anyone in her homeland. She wants adventure and romance like her mother, Brenna.
Royce of Wyndhurst lost his family and beloved in a Viking raid. So her hates so Vikings. Or does he? Kristen enters his life, and shortly thereafter also his soul. ( )

Royce acquires Kristen after her group was captured when they went Viking. At first he thought she was a young lad but once he found out she's not a boy he believes she's a Viking whore. He brings her into his household slave. She's not like the crying ladies he's used to, willing to give as good as she gets and he finds himself drawn to her despite himself. Bodice ripper
