My Review:

A forced marriage between a very innocent nun and a giant Viking! What a captivating story! Lucy Morris’s latest book has me completely drawn to the story from the first chapter to the last. It began when a giant Viking, Jorund is trying to break the nunnery’s door to take Amée and coerce her to marry him due to her father’s contract with the King. Amée’s father owns the land called Évreux and Jorund is assigned to marry her to take the land. Yet when Jorund first sees Amée, he doesn’t expect the woman he is inclined to marry would be so small, fragile and entirely innocent.

I was so in love with Jorund, despite his Viking look, he is so tender, considerate and over-protective towards Amée however their relation is forged from preconceived assumptions that lead into terrible misunderstanding caused by their horrendous past. Besides, what so appealing from this book is that Lucy Morris again supplies the cultures and paradigm of religion and also mental concern within the history as well as the vivid and detailed description of the places, everything is so well-written and research.

Lucy Morris brings something different within this book, two complete opposite characters, one wants to be tougher and one wants to be very compassionate and tender are connected into an arranged marriage that leads into unanticipated emotional state through fulfilling closure. I so love it! Thank you, Lucy Morris, for this ARC which I voluntary reviewed.
