Called by a Viking #4
El amor del vikingo
Una ladrona que viaja en el tiempo. Un guerrero vikingo. Ella es su enemiga. Él es su captor. Una noche de pasión podría destruirlos o acabar liberándolos.
Rachel hará lo que sea por salvar a su madre, incluso si eso implica robar el dinero que necesita para pagar por la cirugía. Por eso, cuando una anciana deja un huso dorado en el muelle de la fuerza naval de Chicago, lo toma… y acaba viajando al año 874 d. C. Al despertar cerca de una aldea noruega, encuentra cofres llenos de joyas y oro listos para que los tome… y a un hermoso guerrero vikingo al que preferiría besar que asaltar.
Como el guerrero vikingo Kolbjorn es un bastardo, la única posibilidad de que lo acepten en la familia del jarl es capturando a la misteriosa ladrona que asaltó el cofre de joyas, la mujer más hermosa que ha visto en su vida. Pero una persecución salvaje en la naturaleza hibernal lo lleva a una noche de encierro con la seductora prisionera. Y el deseo arde lo suficiente como para mantenerlos cálidos a los dos.
Tanto el futuro como el honor de Kolbjorn están en juego. Pero entregar a Rachel a su padre para que la ejecuten lo destruiría. ¿Dejará que la ladrona que ama regrese al siglo XXI o cumplirá su deber sin importar las consecuencias?

✨Jarl’s Bastard Son
✨Viking Warrior MMC
✨Yule • Winter Solace 🎄
✨Norway 874 AD
✨2018 Modern Woman
✨FMC Jewelry Thief 😂
This entire book is about jewelry 😂 not even kidding. Antique jewelry expert Rachel falls back into time when a norn leaves behind a golden spindle on a park bench- Rachel goes to steal it (😟) from the old lady.. and is transported back. Her mother is dying of cancer and she needs money to pay for a transplant surgery- making Rachel desperate- and 🤮 I’m sure the author wanted us to sympathize with her for stealing. When FMC arrives back in time- she immediately begins digging through trunks in a long house looking for anything of worth. (cringe) She quite literally stuffs her pockets with jewels. 💎 immediately making eye roll 🙄 at this FMC. Another wild plot.
This was the shortest book I’ve read yet out of these time travel romances. I feel this one felt the most rushed- and had little to no real story substance. All these in this series feel a little “far fetched” - like how all these FMCs accept time travel just like that. No time to adjust. They are just like “ok” I’m now in the 800s. But Viking’s Love is the most far fetched. Who would wake up in the 800s and immediately start hunting for things to steal? Be so for real.
MMC Kholbjorn is more intriguing - of course - because I’m honestly only here for these romances for the Viking history. I’m not a time travel fan honestly. But anyways 🙃 he is the bastard son of the jarl - son of a slave woman. I love an underdog- the bastard son storyline. But his storyline is wasted on this weird jewelry thief.
But the truth is this book has no substance and the plot is wild- ultimately making me hate the story. Like what’s the point? I don’t care about the characters or the story.
I’m officially done with these. I’m not reading book five. 🤷🏻♀️
I’m disappointed in this one even more because it is at a time of Yule / winter solace - and now I’m craving a Christmas / winter themed Viking romance. 🎄✨

Great second book in this series. Love the characters and story.

A warm engaging story that held my attention from thr the first sentence to the last.look forward very much to the next book .I enjoy reading Mariah Stone’s books the characters draw you in and keep you there to the end .

Read the first book and really enjoyed it! This is the second book and it does not disappoint. It has humour and romance and keeps you engaged. Enjoyed the read. Looking forward to the next book!

I liked this sweet story very much. Luckily it was Sunday and I could read it in one afternoon. It was my first read of Mariah Stone and I 'm looking forward to her other works.

**This ARC for The Jewel of Time was given to me in exchange for my honest review.** Thanks Mariah Stone.
If I had to rate this book, Id rate it 5+ stars. Wow!! I consider this book a "page turner" in my opinion. Why? Let's see, I usually give myself 3 days at most to finish a book sometimes longer or shorter depending how good and interesting the book is. It proved to be interesting how "The Jewel of Time" was used.
I recommend this book. After reading the ARC for Book 1, "The Fortress of Time" now I just finished the ARC for Book 2 "The Jewel of Time". The first time I read Mariah Stone's books was when I read the ARC for "The Fortress of Time". I'd never read her books before then. I must say though that I found a new favorite author. Love these books. To get the full effect of both books, you must read Book 1 first. I hope someday to get the print version of both these books.
Happy reading and I hope you enjoy these books as much as I did.

This story was very rushed. Had the sex not been in it, I'd say it was YA, even middle grade for how short it was. A mindless read, not really stretching the imagination.
Also I find it hard to believe that time travelling is just accepted in 800s Norway. And a modern day woman could so easily adjust. No details like that were shared.

My only complaint with these books are how short they are. I believe that the plot is quite engaging and interesting if only the author incorporated more details about how the time traveler woman adjusts to living in the past and how the Viking so easily accepts the little explanation provided for how and why she is even there.
Moreover in this one, the conflict resolution was way too convenient as well. Rachel didn't return for almost half a year and Kolbjorn, instead of being angry, pined and waited for her and accepted her no questions asked when she showed up suddenly. It got a bit too fantastical for me at this point and I'd have appreciated more details to everything that happened.
3 stars.

Mariah Stone provided me with an ebook ARC of The Jewel of Time, the next book in her Called by a Viking series (release date January 3, 2019). Because it was the second book, I bought the ebook of The Fortress of Time to read first. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that each book is a stand alone. They do not have to be read in order. That’s always a plus!
Mariah Stone’s Called by a Viking series is classified as time travel romance. I’m a fan of time travel fiction, but admit that I am new to the romance aspect. I was a little concerned that any love scenes would be cheesy. Not at all! I’ll even admit to blushing and my heart racing a few times during each story.
My favorite parts have to be the comments made by the Viking heroes. In The Fortress of Time, Sigurd tells Donna “Your words are as tangled as Loki’s beard” when he doesn’t understand something she says. In The Jewel of Time, Kolbjorn would say things like “Loki’s sweaty ass” or “Thor’s balls.” Comments like these add a little humor to the stories.
As I said earlier, I haven’t had much experience with romance novels. They were never ‘my thing.’ But, I truly enjoyed The Fortress of Time and The Jewel of Time and I look forward to reading any future books in the series. These books were a quick read, which was a nice change from the longer books I’ve been reading lately. There was drama, romance and some light-hearted moments. For all of these reasons, I give both The Fortress of Time and The Jewel of Time ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5.

I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Rachel is a modern girl from Chicago. Her mother needs a very expensive surgery to live, and Rachel is at her wit's end to find a way to fund it. When she is thrust back in time, she finds a seemingly endless supply of beautiful gems that she has a good idea will fund quite a bit of the surgery costs. Jolbjorn is the illegitimate, but firstborn son, who will do anything to prove himself to his father. Two younger half-brothers (one in particular) want to see him dead. Jolbjorn has to be constantly vigilant, as, weaker, they strike when he's not looking like in battle. Left to guard more gems after the first ones disappear, he discovers but can't catch Rachel. But when she returns to steal a fabulous necklace called The Northern Lights, Jolbjorn is able to capture her... just before they are snowed in together in a blizzard.

ONE CAPTIVATING READ!!!
Wow! Talk about back to the future. If you're looking for a fast paced, pulse racing, heart pounding, smooth flowing, page turning dynamo that gets your motor running and captures your attention from start to finish. Congrats my friends you've come to the right place. The characters are complex and believable with such depth and individuality it's easy to relate. The scenes are so graphically detailed and descriptive you have no trouble picturing each scenario as they play off one another in perfect balance. The chemistry between the two main characters was white hot, off the charts, explosive. Things get a little sticky, but man what a way to go. A word of advice when you get your copy. These two are like dynamite when it comes to getting down and a little dirty. Your mind tells you to run before it explodes, but its like a train wreck, you can't look away. Yeah, this is definitely a one click read. Mariah did an amazing job bringing this read to life. Remarkable job Mariah, thanks for sharing this little gem with us.

💙Exciting tale: a daughter's quest and her Viking hero who holds the key to success!👍
January 2, 2019
👍4.5 🌟stars ⚡🔥💕
I found this story fast-paced, exciting, and at times steamy, at others 💔 heart-breaking. Time travel, muscled Vikings, and an ⏳urgent, dangerous quest to save a loved one -- a truly enjoyable combination, and complete, despite its shorter length.
What I found strange was the Viking hero's family name. Kolbjorn, son of Jarl Bjorn, comes from a family that are associated to the wolf, sort of like their totem spirit. Yet their names are variations of the Scandinavian word for BEAR. An anomaly not explained; though perplexing it did not dampen my enjoyment of the plot and love story.
Bear or wolf in name and spirit, Kolbjorn Bjornsson is a super hero with an endless capacity for love and loyalty, and heroine Rachel lucky to find him (with a strategic nudge from the Norn, the Viking Fates!).;-)

'm not really sure how to rate this book. I love time travel but was happy that a ton of time wasn't spent trying to justify or explain the time travel. There were a lot of things that bothered me. Some modern terms that Kolbjorn used that he shouldn't have known and he was remarkably calm for meeting someone from the 21st century. I also didn't like his father or brothers and found the whole father manipulating the son thing to be distasteful. I understood Rachel's motivation to save her mother but I was surprised that she had to come back several times for $200,000 which isn't a ton of money. She should have been able to sell one piece and get that and more. While those things irritated me, I still enjoyed the story. There were some pat answers and insta-love but it was a fast and fun read if you can suspend common sense. She was NOT TSTL so that made it a fun read rather than a chore. No cliffhanger and a great HEA. (I voluntarily reviewed an ARC).
January 4, 2019
The Jewel of Time is a cute and sexy novella from Mariah Stone. Poor Kolbjorn, he is illegitimate and his legitimate brothers are awful, and he wants his father's approval and last name. He basically does everything his father asks and has little respect and love to show for his efforts. Kolbjorn believes he is on the right track - protecting jewels his father is having crafted until a modern-day woman gets in his way.
Rachel needs to find a way to help fund her mother's treatments, imagine her surprise when she finds a way to travel through time. She begins stealing jewelry until she and Kolbjorn run into each other with a bang. He needs her to stop so he can regain his father's love and she needs to continue to save her mother.
Rachel and Kolbjorn are really cute together. Lots of chemistry and sexiness ensues - sigh.
Great time travel novella - didn't seem too unbelievable and over the top. Good characters and solid writing.

Mariah Stone is a fairly new author to me and what an amazing story, a time travel Viking romance and I enjoyed it immensely. Rachel’s mother is dying she needs a very large sum of money for her surgery and treatments and while sitting contemplating her situation she finds a gold spindle so Rachel picks it up and it takes her to the year 874 where she steals jewels to go towards her mother’s expenses. Kolbjorn is an illegitimate son of a man who treats him badly but Kolbjorn only wants the love and acceptance of his father by protecting the jewels that his father is wanting to use to buy his kingship. Kolbjorn see’s a golden woman just appearing and stealing the jewels then she disappears. But on the 4th time Rachel goes back but gets caught by Kolbjorn. I loved this story but both of the characters were sad but in the end I adored their HEA. This is a fantastic story and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

I like time travel books and I enjoyed this one! Kolbjorn is a gorgeous Viking (need I say more?!). Rachel is a gutsy young woman, who's strength is suited to this Viking. Their immediate and deep attraction becomes a weakness and a strength for each of them. I really liked that all of the storylines were brought to completion. You're not left wondering, "what ever happened to. . ."
There is love, thrills and a little mystery. I think you're going to like it, too!

I had meant to just read some portion of this before going to bed but I was sucked in and simply had to finish it in one night. This is a sexy and sweet time-travel romance with the HEA I so desperately needed. Both Hero and Heroine faced tough choices but came through their trials stronger for it. I think I have a new viking crush.

I thoroughly enjoy a good time travel storyline and that is what I got with this jewel. There was action, suspense, danger, and romance mixed into a well-written piece of work. I loved The Fortress of Time and this book is equal to it. I am glad I was able to read straight through I am not sure I could have put it down. This is a must-read book for the new year. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
January 2, 2019
I absolutely loved this book. It takes an original twist to the time travel stories I have read. In the beginning it was slow going. Then after a quarter of the way through the action picked up drastically. Our H/h are desperate people. Kolbjorn is looking to make his father proud enough to be taken into his family as he was born illegitimately and could not be recognized as a true son of the Jarl. Rachel's mother had kidney cancer and needed treatment and a transplant in order to live. The Viking gods and magic are spun into this story in a way that grabs your attention and does not let you go. Even though this is a quick read, it is totally satisfying. I highly recommend this book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I enjoyed this time-travel romance, & although all the ones I have read previously in this genre have taken place in the Scottish highlands, this look at Viking life & culture was a refreshing change. The characters were likeable & the story engaging. I was immediately drawn into the plot & loved the ending.

This is the second book in the Called by a Viking Series a well-written book that once I read I had to own a copy. A time travel story Rachel comes from the year 2018 from the Chicago area she goes back to Norway in the year 874 to steal valuable jewelry to secure her mother’s kidney transplant. She meets Kolbjorn and now things take a turn she did not expect . I found myself turning pages I had to know what was going to happen.

I Love time travel romance and was not disappointed with this story. Mariah Stone is a first time read for me but won't be the last. The story is well written, with nothing to detract from it.

I love time travel romance books and when the chance came to read this as an ARC, I jumped at the chance. I am so glad I did, this one was really good. It took me less than a day to read this. It was good enough I did not, could not, put down the book till I was finished.
Would I recommend this book, YES.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC and give you my honest opinion.

Marie's Tempting Reads ARC Review:
A widely entertaining, action-packed, loaded with passion romance that literally sweeps you away! It was refreshing, sexy with some special characters and a very unique plot. I haven't read a good Time-Travel romance in a while and this book made me realize how much I have missed them. This romance was so special in its uniqueness and fresh. Exciting and memorable this book made me giddy. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

Kilbjorn is a Viking living in 874 AD, Rachel lives in the present and in desperate need of funds for her sick mother. When Rachel is transported back in time, she finds jewelry to sell but what happens when she is caught. Fast-paced read with plenty of drama and lots of steam. I enjoyed the story and wish there was a bit more of it. Entertaining read.
