This book reminds me a lot of R. Lee Smith’s style of stories. But before any fans of that author gets to excited, let me explain why I say this.
1. It’s long. I read it in lit format and the book was like 900 pages long.
2. The story takes its sweet time getting anywhere good.
3. The lovers spend most of the gosh darn book being pulled in different directions.
4. The main character Captain Alodie Austen is a total Mary Sue. Smarter than almost everyone else around her, even the people of her own time. Beautiful to the point that every woman wants to destroy her in some way, shape, or form. And every man wants her, some so obsessively that they are driven crazy by it.
Which brings me to this…
It makes no since to me how a woman who loves to throw out that she’s a trained Star Ship Captain and can disarm and knock out men left and right one minute, seems to wilt and crumble like a delicate flower the instant any man tries to get into her panties, by consent or by force.
I’m sorry honey but, (trained or not, have feelings, or not) when I say no and you don’t stop, you best believe I’m not going to just lay there and take it. *rolls eyes*
5. The rape and almost rape scenes. The author warns about the “racy love scenes” but what about forced seduction and rape? And yes, there are a few of those in this book. To many for my liking if you ask me.
6. Enemies out the woodwork. I swear, they were like cockroaches. You squash one and there were dozens more waiting and plotting in the dark.
7. The ending was rushed and vague leaving you thinking, “WTF, that’s it?”
The key for me though is that regardless to all the things that may have gotten under my skin, I kept reading. I stayed up most of the night trying to get done until I had to make myself put it down and get some sleep. That’s why I was so tempted to give it 4 stars.

Loved this book and wanted it to continue. It would make a very good film. Worth a read if you like a good love story, space, time travel and Vikings.

I read this book a while ago, it’s a spicy 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ Viking romance based on time travel and science fiction. It was such a brilliant read, I was so sad when it ended as the author hasn’t written anything else, this book stayed with me and it’s on my list to read again

Started in the morning and finished the same evening. Absolute page-turner. From space travel to Viking wars. Details and stories were amazing. Just loved it!

I liked the first 75%. It did drag on pretty long, but the storyline I cared about ended at 75%. The part that continued beyond was introduced out of nowhere. All of a sudden, the story focus shifted. I won't spoil anything, but it totally threw me for a loop. Frankly, it was incredibly frustrated.
I read through this long (drawn out) 75%, only to find the glorious ending was denied me because of something I couldn't care less about. Because of some storyline never mentioned ANYWHERE in the previous 75%!
The 75% I read deserved a fabulous ending but now I'll never know because I got so annoyed (furious) that I put down the book and likely will never pick it up again.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get. I feel cheated and tricked. I want to chop that last 25% off the story like a dead limb. I can't write any more about it - I'm too frustrated - so I'll go think about something (anything) else. I regret this read.
