Sent as the Viking's Bride

I’ve been waiting to read Sent as the Viking's Bride by Michelle Styles since I first saw the cover reveal. This is actually the first Viking story I have read and I must say it was everything I hoped it to be and more. Who doesn’t love a brooding and handsome Viking? Especially when he’s adamant about not wanting a wife! Gunnar Olafson was a great hero once you get past the mask he portrays. He’s proud, kind, loyal and has a soft heart, especially towards Ragnhild’s younger sister Svana. Ragnhild was a wonderful heroine and I liked her from the very beginning. She’s been through a lot physically and mentally but yet she’s a fighter. She’s strong and willing to do anything to protect her younger sister. Yet she has a vulnerability about her when it comes to her looks and how remarkable she really is. Since this was my first Viking story, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I loved how detailed Ms. Styles writing is and I could easily imagine being in that time period. This was a beautifully written story set at Christmas time with suspense, intrigue and a romance between two people who truly deserved a HEA! Ms. Styles also included several memorable secondary characters that I wouldn’t mind reading about in the future! I loved Ragnhild & Gunnar’s story and l will definitely be reading more Viking stories in the future! Highly recommend!
