Tempted by the man…
Captured by the infamous Lord Rhys, a Welsh prince intent on revenge against her family, Viking healer, Helga, must keep her wits about her if she’s to be freed. Easier said than done when she desires him rather than fears him! Helga senses there’s good inside Rhys and feels compelled to reach his heart. First she must make him see there’s more to her than just his enemy…'
This is the story of Helga and Lord Rhys, there story is told over the course of 27 Chapters plus an Epilogue. This is the third book in the 'Shieldmaiden Sisters' series by Lucy Morris. The first two books concentrated on Helga's elder sisters Valda and Brynhild. Although this book is a part of a series you do not need to read the entire series to read this one. Although I would recommend the series.
Helga and Rhys's journey starts off on a rocky foot. With Rhys capturing Helga at the beginning. Part of their story is told while the two are on route back to Rhys's home. Throughout their journey home and the rest of the book the two slowly start to learn that the other is not what they seem.
Although there is underlying chemistry between these characters it is not always welcome. Both try to fight this chemistry and pull they feel, though one tries harder than the other. This chemistry that is obvious to readers, puts this couple in interesting situations that readers will enjoy.
Now Rhys and Helga may be the main couple but the background characters are just as interesting. Readers are given enough information on these background characters to make them fall in love and become interested in their story and how it interacts with the main story.
Now let me tell you about the Author Lucy Morris, who has always been obsessed with myths and legends. Her books blend sweeping romances with vivid world building to whisk you away to another time and place filled with adventure. You can expect passion, drama and Vibrant characters. Lucy lives in Essex, UK with her husband, two young children and two cats. Lucy has a massive sweet tooth and loves gin, bubbly and Irn-Bru. She is a member of UK Romantic Novelists' Association, she was delighted a two-book deal with Harlequin after submitting her story to Warriors Wanted submission blitz for Viking, Medieval and Highlander romances. Writing for Harlequin Historical is a dream come true for her and she hopes you enjoy her books!
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the entire series. It is great to read a historical romance filled with strong female characters as well as strong male characters. Helga's story is one to show readers that everyone has their own purpose in life and sometime you have to have faith in yourself. You can get your copy HERE
Until Next Time
